[@cactusjack2264]

Watching Eli defeat the Patriots in SuperBowl 42 was honestly the most unbelievably incredible performance I’ve ever watched, my favorite SuperBowl of all time and I’m a Cowboys fan that hates the Giants saying this. But that was insane considering that the Giants were a Wild Card team that barely made the Playoffs and the Patriots never lost a game until SuperBowl 42.

[@AdamVo]

I was filming a Manning Passing Academy in Thibodeaux two years ago and remember seeing all the Manning’s. When he said Archie had the best shoe game he wasn’t lying.. Archie was wearing some university red air max 1s at the camp.

[@YoRAHeem]

Eli will always have a spot in football history for me as a NYG. I just really wish this side of him… the humor, the charisma, and that energy was on display during his time.

[@Ryan-vp4uw]

Favorite guest so far. He’s happy to be there.

[@sicilianjoe]

The thing I love about the Mannings is how humble they seem to be. Maybe they're just acting---but if they are, they are amazing actors. Hard not to like Eli and Peyton.
