A few Giants players grabbed the attention of the media Monday when they posed for a photo on a boat in Miami. The boat was hosting a party filled with stars such as Justin Bieber, Trey Songz and others.
While some felt the players should be focused on their upcoming playoff matchup against Green Bay, others were more lax on the issue. You can count quarterback Eli Manning as one of the lax people, as he had nothing but jokes about the picture.

"As a team we kind of always pride ourselves on being well prepared, so when I saw some of those pictures, I was a little disappointed because obviously they didn't pack accordingly. They didn't have any shirts, all long pants, no shorts, no flip-flops or anything," Manning said Tuesday. "So I was disappointed in their packing and not being prepared for that situation."

A notable absence from the photo was Manning himself, so where was he?
"I was telling people I'm the one who took the picture," Manning added. "They just wouldn't let me in with my shirt off."
