On Tuesday a new commercial for DirecTV was released of Eli & Peyton Manning rapping. It pretty much became an instant hit. Most fans loved it. So will Eli continue down the path of a rapping career (there is sarcasm in this question)?! Eli spoke about his decision. Check it out…
Via ESPN:
Giants fans don’t have to worry about their quarterback finding a new hobby or career, though. “Easy-Eli” is retiring from the rap game.
“I think I will stay with my day job and keep playing football for long as possible,” a sheepish Manning said before Giants practice Wednesday. “A one and done. A one-hit wonder probably.”
Giants players didn’t know about the commercial, which came out Tuesday afternoon, until they came off the practice field that day. Soon after, many were watching on their phones in the locker room, and the catchy song has caught on faster than a David Wilson 40-yard dash.
Greatest Athlete Commercial Evah!!!
