SAN FRANCISCO – The first father of football, Archie Manning, is here this week to watch his son Peyton play in his second Super Bowl in three years and fourth overall. But he’s also thinking about youngest son Eli, the family’s other championship quarterback.
“I’m not greedy here, but I’d love the Giants to get back in this thing again, too,” Manning said. “One more time would suit me.”
Eli, of course, was the most valuable player when the Giants defeated New England in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. But the Giants are in a four-year postseason drought.
