Eli to Peyton: "Who's The Loser Now?"

Jan 22, 2008

Mannings' Sibling War Gets Uglier

Green Bay - After Eli Manning's greatest professional victory, in which he directed the New York Giants to a stunning, 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42,  the young quarterback unloaded a volley of criticism at older brother Peyton Manning, whose Colt team lost in the AFC Divisional playoff.

"Who's the loser now?" Eli exalted in the Giants' jubilant locker room. "I'm glad I won. I'm glad he lost. He's an arrogant jerk. People think they know him from his commercials, well that's bull. I said it before, 'Peyton's a bastard. And, he ain't funny, either.'" 

Improbably, the NFL's last Manning standing is 26-year old Eli, who now stands atop of the football world, holding a Super Bowl MVP Trophy. 

The Manning feud, which seems to be getting uglier with every passing day, was first reported by eTrueSports in the October 17th issue of the web publication. The full text of the original story can be found below.

ORIGINAL STORY

Forget The Commercials; "Peyton Ain't Funny."

New York - Eli Manning has had enough. “My brother’s a bastard,” said Manning, about his brother, Peyton, in an exclusive interview with eTrueSports, “and it’s time the world knows it.

Manning said the entire family was flabbergasted when Peyton was chosen to host Saturday Night Live. “Not only wasn’t he funny, everybody on the show hated him. He wasn’t even invited to the cast party after the show, the first time in SNL history that ever happened. Hell, they even invited Steven Seagal when he hosted, what does that tell you?”

“Everybody just assumes Peyton will be my best man. My answer is this: Not until hell freezes over. He’ll just hog the spotlight and probably want to film a commercial at the reception.”

Taciturn Giant coach Tom Coughlin.

"At least I know he won't try to be funny," said Eli Manning.
