While talking about the Packers vs Raiders game, their guest Jimmy Kimmel asked the Manning brothers some hard-hitting questions, and Eli had some surprising revelations to make. The younger Manning brother made a hilarious accusation against Peyton for “physically and emotionally” abusing him when they were kids.
Eli Manning Accuses Older Brother of “Abusing” Him
Guest Jimmy Kimmel asked the brothers, “Which one of you loves the other more?” Peyton was quick to say that Eli loves him more because he’s such a good older brother, as he took him to school, and tucked him in at night. Eli, however, remembered a different version of the events and immediately shut Peyton down and narrated an incident from their childhood. He said, “You abused me. You physically and emotionally abused me. Addressing Kimmel he said,
“Jimmy, in the middle of summer, I’m 12 years old. He made me go run routes for him, and he threw so hard, I had bruises running up and down my arms.”
He further narrated a story of how Peyton once put him in sweatpants in 180-degree heat and made him run routes with pillows up and down his body so he wouldn’t get hurt. He remembered how people would look at him strangely because he looked like the Michelin man. Peyton just had one thing to say to Eli in response, “I prepared you for New York.” This hilarious interaction between the two brothers reveals just how much Peyton took advantage of having a little brother running routes for him.
In the first half of the segment, the brothers had former Wide Reciever Desmond Howard on the show and Eli, like the little brother he is, revealed a cardboard cutout of Peyton with a giant forehead. Howard lost his mind at the cutout and could not stop laughing at the sight of Peyton’s giant forehead. Between the two segments, he even took out the cutout and gave the fake Peyton a beating, saying, “I always wanted to do this.” Hopefully, he got revenge for the childhood trauma Peyton gave him.
The Manning Brothers Drank Beer Out of the Stanley Cup
As the brothers saw the 2022-23 Stanley Cup Champions The Vegas Golden Knights brandishing the Stanley Trophy, Eli asked Peyton if he’s ever held the Stanley Cup. Peyton replied that he actually drank beer out of the NHL trophy.
Surprisingly, Eli revealed that he too drank beer out of the Cup once. When asked how, Eli replied,
“It was actually on tour. And they said I couldn’t hold it or drink out of it unless I had a Stanley Cup winner with me. And I invited Brad Richards, and we got to drink beer out of the Stanley Cup.”
