Eli Manning didn’t hate on his brother at the Super Bowl

The media will try to create drama out of anything!

All anyone could talk about was Eli Manning’s stone face when his brother Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos scored a touchdown to go up two TDs late in the game. To most people watching, that was the score that put the game away but quarterbacks, especially the good ones, don’t think like that.

I’ll bet anyone $10 to a glazed doughnut that Eli would have looked the same if it were his own game. The funny thing about all of it is that only the women in children in the Manning luxury suite were smiling and cheering. Peyton’s father Archie and his older brother Cooper was just as stone-faced as Eli was.

But all anyone could get themselves to talk and write about is how Eli wasn’t too thrilled with what happened. The media suggested that Eli was upset big brother Peyton was about to tie him in Super Bowl victories. But as if he really needed to, Eli explained his lack of emotion to SplashNewsOnline.com while at Newark airport.

He said, “I was just focused on whether they’d go for two and the defense had to step up and make some stops.”

Again, it’s just a quarterback thinking situation football rather than getting caught up in the joy of the moment. He couldn’t help it, he’s been programmed to think that way his whole football life. From Eli to Archie to Cooper, the Mannings weren’t convinced the game was over so neither of them cracked a smile then.

But of course, no one showed them after the game was over.
