Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac here with an exciting Sports Report for ya as…with the conclusion of the NFL’s Pro Bowl Games…it is now officially Super Bowl Week! YES!
And with that news comes no shortage of odd and funny football videos. You’ll get the lady dressed up as Statue Of Liberty asking Patrick Mahomes questions. You’ll witness some little kid from England asking a strange question to Brock Purdy. And so on. But before we get to that madness…you gotta see this Eli Manning clip.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 04: Head coach Eli Manning of the NFC answers questions after defeating the AFC 64-59 during the 2024 NFL Pro Bowl Games at Camping World Stadium on February 04, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.
Eli was at the Pro Bowl Games as the head coach of the NFC (his team won, 64 to 59) and he suddenly found himself in a rap battle against Supa Hot Fire. And while Eli doesn’t seem like he would be a good rapper…Number 10 is always up for a challenge! Eli doesn’t back down from anyone! Just ask Tom Brady and Bill Belichick! Check this hilarity out…
This is just another reason why Eli Manning rules. I mean…as far as football players go…the Mannings have to be the funniest players ever. Did you ever see the classic ESPN bit where they put Eli in disguise and had him attempt to walk-on at a Penn State tryout? If not…here it is!
And then there was the amazing Saturday Night Live bit where Eli was on a trial, discussing text messages. My Lord, this is some funny stuff. Give Eli an Emmy.
In any event…good on Eli for the rap battle victory. He’s the MAN. I’m Davey Mac…now on to the rest of the Sports Report!
ORLANDO, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 04: Head coach Eli Manning of the NFC looks on prior to the 2024 NFL Pro Bowl Games at Camping World Stadium on February 04, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.
