Almost everything about Eli Manning’s induction into the Giants’ Ring of Honor and jersey number retirement last Sunday went perfectly.
But there was an awkward moment when Giants president John Mara was booed as he spoke, and Manning gestured to fans at MetLife Stadium to stop.
Manning said the incident was "not a fair act by the fans" when asked about it in an interview with Newsday on Tuesday to promote "The Eli Manning Show," which premiered on the Giants’ YouTube channel this week.
