What is former New York Giants great Eli Manning’s favorite sports movie?
With so many to choose from, we finally found out during the taping of Eli’s ESPN+ show, “Eli’s Places”:
Eli Manning and Brady Quinn never duked it out on the football field — but the two are squaring off in a different arena — debating the best football movies of all time … and let’s just say their picks ain’t exactly shocking!
The two former NFL QB’s caught up on the second episode of season 2 of “Eli’s Places” (premieres Wednesday on ESPN+) … and went back and forth about football movies they hold near and dear to their hearts.
Quinn liked Oliver Stone’s “Any Given Sunday” and of course, “Rudy” — which took place at his alma mater, Notre Dame. He also mentioned the remake of “The Longest Yard” and Adam Sandler’s “The Waterboy.”
Manning’s choice was quite obvious: 1994’s “Little Giants,” starring Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill.
Eli is brand-loyal almost to a fault, so it should come as little surprise he choice a Giants-related film. Quinn argued that Moranis played a better role in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” and somehow forgot about “Ghostbusters” and “Ghostbusters II,” not to mention “Little Shop of Horrors.”
