Manning flips the bird
During Chris Long's guest stint on the broadcast, Eli Manning spoke about how Eagles fans welcomed him when he played for the Giants. Big Blue and the Eagles share a storied rivalry, and Eagles fans didn't like seeing Manning take the field in Philadelphia.
In this instance, the Giants legend provided a story about how a little boy welcomed him in the City of Brotherly Love.
Manning flipped the bird on national television, and instantly the NFL world went into meltdown at the incredulity.

The Peyton and Eli show is rapidly stealing all the headlines in the broadcasting world. ESPN has struck gold by signing the two brothers to host the unconventional show.
As one would expect, their football knowledge is by far the best among the current NFL broadcasters. But it is the brothers' rapport that drives the show. Peyton Manning is a charismatic, humorous individual. Eli started slowly as he wasn't as comfortable on TV as his big brother was.
When the great Archie Manning joined the show, the first family of football had wholly stolen the show. The broadcast on Monday night flipped the script as Eli came into his own. The youngest Manning shone with his astute film analysis, his charisma and dry wit.
The best parts of the ManningCast aren鈥檛 just the brothers busting each other鈥檚 chops and X/O breakdown but Peyton鈥檚 disgust for bad football with both rooting for good quarterbacking while showing clear disappointment when it doesn鈥檛 happen.
Manning did have to apologize for the rude gesture after a commercial break. Nevertheless, the two-time former Super Bowl MVP made Monday night his night. The former Giant hilariously imitated Dak Prescott's pre-game workout, and he stole a line from pop culture.

It is challenging to innovate in the modern media world. However, the Manning brothers and ESPN are doing it together. At the forefront of the success is the quieter Manning, the one most people tend to ignore. Eli Manning's post-playing career is skyrocketing.
