MINNEAPOLIS — Eli Manning didn’t feel the need to rush to the defense of his brother. As far as he was concerned, Peyton did a pretty good job of defending himself.
That was basically Eli’s reaction to the bombshell report from Saturday that linked his older brother to human growth hormone. Asked if he had anything to say about the explosive story, Eli began by saying, “I really don’t know much about it.”
Then he deferred to some strong words that Peyton had already said.
“I think he had some comments today, so I’ll just quote him,” Eli said.
