A report today claims that Eli Manning was involved in selling fake memorabilia to fans. I’m shocked … someone is buying Eli Manning memorabilia?
According to the New York Post, several of Manning’s intercepted (ha!) emails were filed on Tuesday in Bergen County (N.J.) Superior Court by three memorabilia collectors who are suing Manning, the Giants and Steiner Sports, among others.
Related court papers allege that the emails prove “Manning was looking to give non-game-used helmets to Steiner to satisfy — fraudulently — his contractual obligation” with Steiner.
The legal filing also alleges that Big Blue failed to produce the Manning-Skiba emails — between the athlete’s old-school AOL account and an official NFL account — even though “they claim to have no document destruction policy.
