SPEAKER 2
My guest today is Eli Manning. I wanted to get Eli on because if you look at legendary New York sports athletes and you said, Hey, you know what? I think this guy's going to have a great post-playing media career. Eli Manning would not be one of them. But here he is.
0:24
He's on, of course, Mondays with his brother on the Manning cast. And then Chad Powers. He's got a series coming out on Hulu. And the Mannings have gone from the first family of NFL quarterbacks to the first family of sports media post-playing careers. So Eli Manning is the main event.

SPEAKER 1
Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.

Eli Manning is The Main Event
