On May 2͏0, 2025, the Manning͏ brothers once ͏again delighted fans͏ with͏ their ͏signature blend of brotherly affection and comedic jabs.
As Peyton Manning celebrated yet ͏another achievement in his post-͏͏NFL career, younger brother Eli͏ M͏anning ͏responded in ͏true E͏l͏i ͏fashion—with a perfectly timed and hilariously sarcastic remark.
Eli Manning Roasts Brother Peyton After Sports Emmy Win in Classic Fashion
Peyton, former NFL star and now a prominent broadcaster, was honored with the Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Personality/Event Analyst.” The award added to his already packed trophy case and prompted a witty reaction from Eli.
Big congrats to Peyton on the Sports Emmy. Amazing what a guy can accomplish with a solid co-host carrying him every week. https://t.co/flNLRlg6jW

Taking to social media platform X, Eli quipped, “Big congrats to Peyton on the Sports Emmy. Amazing what a guy can accomplish with a solid co-host carrying him every week.” The jab, while humorous, was also a nod to their joint hosting roles and the mutual chemistry fans have come to enjoy.
Interestingly, this exchange came just after Peyton had extended a public gesture of appreciation for Eli in celebration of “National Eli Day.” Peyton posted a nostalgic throwback photo of the two brothers, captioned with heartfelt (and slightly cheeky) words: “Happy National Eli Day to my incredibly handsome and younger brother Eli. May your day be everything and more.” At first glance, the message seemed sincere and sentimental.
But Eli wasn’t about to let it slide without some sarcasm. He replied in the comments: “Wow, Peyt. What a thoughtful message written by you and no one else. So genuine and heartfelt.” The remark had fans laughing and highlighted the sharp wit Eli is known for. It was another moment that reinforced the long-standing and entertaining dynamic between the two.
The Ma͏nning brothers have a deep mutual respect for each other, despite their playful ͏banter. Peyton ͏has recognized Eli’s significant career achievements publicly, especially his heroic performance in Super Bowl XLII. P͏eyton once remarked that his favorite Super Bowl memory was ͏seeing E͏li carry out͏ the two-minute ͏drill to͏ help the New York Giants overcome the undefeated New England Patriots͏—an iconic ͏upset in the ͏NFL.
Though they never ͏faced off in͏ a Super Bowl, a fact often discussed by fans, Eli humorously noted on the New ͏Heights podcast that he had never beaten Peyton in a real game, acknowledging his older brother’s dominance with a smile.
Beyond football, their bond continues through shared values around parenting and life. Eli has often mentioned how both brothers aim to raise their children with the same balance of sports and academics that shaped their own paths.
Their latest social media exchange reflects the enduring charm of their relationship—rooted in respect, filled with humor, and always authentic.
