"You’re my favorite Manning" - Julian Edelman reveals who his favorite Manning brother is
Retired New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman recently launched a new podcast titled "Games With Names" with Sam Morril. The two discuss some of the biggest games in sports. It's an opportunity for a sports fan and a former professional athlete to give their opinions on some of the biggest sporting events in history.
On the first episode of the series, they discussed the 2008 Super Bowl, in which the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots. The victory prevented an undefeated season.
Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was also one of the guests on the episode. Edelman, a former Patriots player, isn't a fan of the New York Giants. But he did give credit to the entire Manning family, saying that they were all 'studs' and that Eli was his favorite.
"I'm wearing my Phil Simms t-shirt right now. I didn't want to be a complete Giants hater, if you see that... He's my favorite New York Giants quarterback. No, you're my favorite Manning. You're my favorite man... There's a lot of Manning that are studs."
So much fun to be on the show with Julian and my new best friend Sam. I feel like Julian likes me but he is a Patriot so I don’t think he really does. hoo.be/gameswithnames @GameswithNames

He also teased Eli Manning about the famous helmet catch that helped the Giants defeat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. But as both retired players spoke, all was in good fun.
