Here’s Eli Manning Flipping the Double Birds on Live Television
Published:
One of the few moments from last night that actually elicited some of sort of joy, here’s Eli talking about his experiences playing in Philly:
“You go to Philly, you’re getting the double bird right away from a 9 year old.” 😂😂@JOEL9ONE | @EliManning | @ESPNNFL pic.twitter.com/hmI4gSorvi

“You can blur that out, right?”
lol
Not sure Eli knows how live television works. You gotta have an editor do the blur in pre-production, so it’s not like you’ve got an intern sitting on a delayed feed with that sort of capability.
But anyway, the Manning brothers broadcast is so good. It’s a perfect blend of humor, entertainment, and learning at the same time. These guys will go from cracking jokes about one another to explaining a Tampa 2 Robber scheme. For that reason, I’ve found myself sitting on this broadcast and then only flipping to the main broadcast when I need a replay review or explanation of a penalty or something specific to what’s happening on the field.
