Eli was the first Manning I interviewed. It was during his final season at Ole Miss and I was covering College Football for ESPN. Ironically, I interviewed Peyton at the ESPY’s for the first time the same year. I met with Archie after both sons had won a Super Bowls and MVP Awards. I wanted to see if I could get the stoic father to laugh, so I began the interview with Archie by asking, “so, what’s new with the family?” It was awesome because it did catch him off guard and caused him to laugh. He went on to share the family experiences they’ve shared through the multiple successes of the Manning brothers. I have the photo above signed by each Manning.
