Eli Manning on his double birds, loving Marshawn Lynch, and making fun of Peyton on MNF

Everybody wondered what Eli Manning and Peyton Manning would do after they retired from playing professional football.

And now we have an answer – they would join forces and change the way we watch Monday Night Football with their phenomenal broadcasts on ESPN2 that feel more like a fun hangout with two brothers who each won two Super Bowls during their careers than the normal, bland game broadcasts we’ve been watching since the beginning of time.

Eli and Peyton, who have a three-year deal with ESPN that has them doing 10 MNF games a season, will be back tonight when Eli’s Giants host the Chiefs. If you haven’t watched their show before then tonight’s would be a fun one to dive into because Eli told For The Win that he’s going to be rooting hard for the Giants and that he won’t shy away from reacting to both the good and bad plays.

Last week I had a fun talk with Eli about their hit show, the time he flipped double birds and went viral, what it’s like making fun of his brother, and more.

Below are some fun moments from the chat. You can watch the whole interview right here:
