Eli Manning told David Letterman this Super Bowl championship is for his teammates.
Manning made an appearance on “Late Show with David Letterman” on Monday, a day after the quarterback led the Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots for his second title in five years.
The two-time Super Bowl MVP told Letterman, “When you win a championship, it’s a team. It’s a team coming together, and that’s exactly what we did, and so I was happy for a lot of the guys. This is their first Super Bowl, so I think when you have one, that second one, you really do it for the other guys who’ve never had that experience. The first one just is wild.”

Letterman says Eli is his favorite Manning, over brother Peyton, quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts who had neck surgery and missed the entire season. Letterman then presses the younger Manning on his brother’s plans for next season.
Manning told Letterman that Peyton wants to play but didn’t know where he would end up. Letterman says, “You know! Don’t lie to me!”
Manning also showed he could crack a few jokes.
Letterman said, “Now, you seem to me like you’ve gotten younger since I last saw you.”
To which Manning replied, “I have, I have. I’m getting younger. I started to shave, you know, this past year so that really helped.”
Much to the audience’s delight.
