What is the Eli Manning Show?
It is Eli Manning’s own show that debuted last season. This fun-centric show was released on the New York Giants’ official YouTube channel. Meanwhile, the 41-year-old has so far interviewed some of the major New York Giants players. In addition, celebrities also play a part in the show, laced with traces of humor.
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.
