Eli Manning turned over potentially incriminating emails this week in connection with a suit that claims the New York Giants quarterback knowingly provided false game-worn memorabilia to collectors, according to documents filed in a New Jersey court.
A 2010 email from Manning to a Giants equipment manager asks for "two helmets that can pass as game used," according to the documents filed Tuesday in Bergen County Superior Court.
Details of the suit were first reported by the New York Post.
Manning's email allegedly was sent after he was alerted by an agent that he needed to provide game-used equipment to satisfy a marketing contract he had with a memorabilia dealer.
