Jeter didn’t reveal much about his life to the public during his playing days. Consequently, his life was always a mystery to unfold for his fans. After all, he had a life that could make up for folktales in bonfire sittings. But since retirement, the New York Yankees legend has given a flurry of interviews, including recently with NFL hero Eli Manning.
Therefore, Jeter began opening up more about his life after bidding farewell to his honorable MLB playing tenure. Whereas Manning became a television show host after retiring as an NFL player. So, both recently sat down for an interview session at Manning’s talk show. And the sports lovers of New York, in particular, admittedly can’t wait long to catch up with their sporting idols.
What do the fans have to say about Derek Jeter’s upcoming interview?
Derek Jeter and Eli Manning are two big names in their fields and also in the New York sporting culture. Jeter spent his entire playing career as a New York Yankees shortstop. Whereas, Manning spent his respective playing career as a New York Giants quarterback. Therefore, it’s obvious for the New York sports-loving public in particular to have an emotional attachment to the duo.
The New York Giants shared the news of the upcoming interview on their official Twitter account, quoting, “Tomorrow.” Although the Giants are yet to reveal what the two will talk about; whether it will be about the Giants’ run in the NFL or the Yankees’ offseason this year, their fans are already hyped for the interview.
