Eli Manning tells awesome story of when he hung out with Brett Favre at a bar

One of the best things the sports world has introduced to us this year is ESPN’s alternate Monday Night Football broadcast. Instead of turning on the primary ESPN channel to watch Steve Levy, Louis Riddick, and Brian Griese call the action, viewers could choose to watch ESPN2, where Eli Manning and Peyton Manning offer commentary on the game and also bring in current and former NFL players to chat.

Earlier this week, during the Packers’ victory over the Lions, the Manning duo introduced legendary Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre to the program. The overall conversation made its way to Eli’s explanation of when he and Favre hung out at a bar, which was back when Manning was 17 years old.
