Eli Manning and Peyton Manning often love to joke around with each other, and Peyton had none of it when Eli compared himself to Lamar Jackson. The brothers were watching an old clip of Eli, back when the quarterback was more athletic, and laughing about it. Eli Manning really seemed to think he was on something else though, and likened himself to the Ravens quarterback. Of course, Jackson is well known for his speed and running abilities, and Eli believed he harnessed some of that ability too.

Eli Manning Jokes About Being Like Lamar Jackson, Peyton Manning Destroys Him
Eli Manning and Peyton Manning were having fun watching old clips on one of their Monday Night broadcasts. One of the clips included a video of Eli Manning running with the football as a kid.
The clip was from a flag football game, and Eli is showing off his elusiveness. He’s evading defenders, making them miss, and running down the field.
Eli was having fun watching the replay. He jokingly says, “You’re going to want to show this to Lamar [Jackson].” After his evasive maneuvers, he doubles down on his statement, “Yeah, that looked like Lamar.”
Peyton Manning had the perfect reply for him asking, “Are you wearing white spandex, or is that actually the color of your legs?”
This clip showcases another great moment in the history of Eli and Peyton’s back-and-forth with each other.
Eli and Peyton Manning Will Continue in the 2023-24 Season
The Manningcast has been a big hit on ESPN’s broadcast, and they won’t be stopping soon. Each year, the brothers get together to commentate 10 games out of the 17-game schedule, and that deal extends into the 2024 season.
ESPN clearly sees potential, and the viewership numbers are exciting. Additionally, the clips from the Manningcast are always a fan favorite. Without the broadcast, we’d have missed out on so many amazing stories and jokes. Hopefully, the broadcast will continue for many years.
