Eli Manning Calls Out Aaron Rodgers on Manningcast: “Ever Since You Faked that Toe Injury You’ve Thrown Like 25 Touchdowns and No Interceptions”

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers showed up as a guest on the ManningCast featuring Peyton Manning and Eli Manning as hosts. Both Manning brothers were in disbelief about Rodgers’ current hot streak of throwing 25 touchdowns. They were awestruck by the fact that he did this despite a toe injury and didn’t throw any interceptions, making history.

The reigning league MVP, as always, was his charming best with the interview questions posed to him. In the eyes of certain media outlets, this became a chance at reviving his image, which has taken quite a hit in recent months. Though, something that is undisputed in terms of Aaron Rodgers will be his abilities when he takes to the field. Both Manning brothers kept their interview content to on-field events by not asking questions about his violation of COVID-19 protocols.

Eli Manning was the first to compliment Aaron Rodgers over his statistics despite playing with a nagging injury this season. He begins by jokingly stating to Rodgers, “I don’t think anyone is buying the toe injury anymore. Ever since you faked that toe injury, you’ve thrown like 25 touchdowns and no interceptions. So, it’s not working anymore.”

Aaron Rodgers recognizes the Internet’s love for him

The Packers QB was feeling humble about Manning’s high praise for his accomplishments this season. However, he did showcase great awareness of the attention that he receives from the internet community through various memes.

He was quoted saying, “The internet is undefeated and the memes I have provided are allowing humor at my expense for as long as I will be around. With me showing my toe and chinstrap on my nose in Arizona. I think I have definitely helped meme lovers everywhere this year.”

Rodgers’s positive attitude at being made fun of by the Internet does make him come across as a great sport. He has many fans as well as haters who are always on his case, whether he does good or bad. It was certainly clear the goal of the show was not to ask uncomfortable questions, but rather in good faith.
