Peyton and Eli Manning allegedly had their biggest fight as adults, not as children. The former NFL quarterbacks teamed up once more for ESPN’s “ManningCast” for the Arizona Cardinals vs. New England Patriots “Monday Night Football” matchup.

During the second quarter of the game, Bill Simmons, a sports personality and native of Massachusetts joined the show. Simmons not only answered Peyton and Eli’s questions, but he also asked one of his own.
What was the biggest argument you two ever had? Simmons enquired. Eli grinned, as if anticipating the specific incident Peyton would bring up.
Peyton Manning Talks About His Biggest Ever Fight With Eli Manning
According to Peyton, “We were on a golf trip a couple of years ago, and I was trying to take a nap. I was in a corner bed at the time and he approached me from behind, sort of pushing me against a wall, before giving me a wedgie. With it, he almost went nuclear.”
The “biggest fight” Peyton and Eli Manning have ever had…
Peyton: “A couple years ago… he gave me a wedgie… he almost went atomic with it…”
Eli: “Oh, it was atomic… over the head… he said they were his favorite underwear that I ripped.” #ManningCast pic.twitter.com/bMbdWueHY9

Peyton claimed that he wanted to fight his brother, but was too hurt to do so.“I was going to fall asleep,” Peyton admitted, adding that he was basically furious because his nap was cut short. An added bonus was the atomic wedgie. “We almost got into a fight, but he couldn’t fight very well because of his pain.”
Even worse, Peyton’s favourite pair of underwear happened to be the ones Eli tore. He claimed that Eli tore his favourite underwear, and was massively upset about that. “This is my favourite pair of undies!”
Numerous stories were shared by the brothers on Monday’s broadcast, along with some unflattering play. It got to the point in the second quarter where Peyton almost gave up. He got up and started leaving the set after Mac Jones and Kevin Harris botched a handoff exchange.
