Eli Manning is shockingly surprised! The 41-year-old New York Giants QB has all reasons to feel so. Being unknown in a city where he excelled the most is a strange feeling, a hard pill to swallow for sure. Interestingly, the former two-time Super Bowl champion went unnoticed in his own city, New York.

As a result, it came as a shocker as Manning expressed his disappointment. But being the sport that he is in, EM is most likely to move on with new lessons. Perhaps, he will implement some of them, with a pinch of salt, in his next episodes.
