Eli Manning interview: From NY Giants QB to a massive NFL fan

Former NFL quarterback Eli Manning, a two-time Super Bowl Champion and MVP, recently shared his thoughts on the NFL season with me. The Giants QB reflected on his journey from playing games to now being an ambassador for football fandom.

Manning discussed his new partnership with Jameson, which is sponsoring America’s Biggest Round. This campaign offers a $5 million bar tab for fans attending local bars on game days.

Manning's partnership with Jameson underscores the connection between football and camaraderie, highlighting the importance of shared experiences in the sport.
