  • Lions head coach Dan Campbell will be on 'Manning Cast' Monday night SideLion Report
  • ManningCast latest to endorse Commanders' Brian Robinson's big hat movement Riggo's Rag

  • ManningCast breaks down the Butt Punt with Pat McAfee FanSided
  • Throughout the two weeks leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, Eli has expressed more and more insights and opinions regarding the ifs and wheres of Peyton’s playing or coaching future. What started as a visibly yet poorly restrained subject for Eli during Pro Bowl interviews is becoming hourly word vomit.

    The prospect of his older brother no longer participating in the league is emotionally palpable for New York’s franchise quarterback, and all fan bases paying attention can easily sympathize with the family story. Whether Giants fandom results in the investment of Peyton’s success, or failure in pursuit of the better Hall of Fame resume, the draw is heightened either way.

    Eli Manning will most definitely be taking notes as he resolves to carry iron-man status into his forties.
