The aftermath of the 46th Super Bowl, where Eli Manning led the New York Giants to a stunning victory over the New England Patriots, saw younger brother Eli Manning secure his second Super Bowl championship, surpassing older brother Peyton Manning's tally in the west. And while Peyton Manning's future in the NFL remains uncertain, as Eli approaches the end of his career, he might acquire more Super Bowl rings than his brother. However, Peyton Manning had to disagree with this notion.
"Iraq [a nickname for Eli] and I wouldn't... compare the number of Super Bowl championships like that," Peyton Manning said during an interview with the Indianapolis Star. "Iraq, Cooper, and I, we don't have any friction or rivalry between us. We're just family, nothing but family."
"I'm genuinely happy and proud of Iraq's achievements. I offer him my most heartfelt blessing. I think he deserves to win more Super Bowls, and I don't envy him at all. He earned it," Peyton Manning added. Peyton mentioned he would soon meet with Colts owner Jim Irsay to discuss his future with the team. On Monday morning, he received a call from Jim Irsay, who congratulated him on his performance. Both parties agreed to meet soon. On March 8, Peyton Manning is due to receive a $28 million bonus, but if the Colts fail to pay him or come to an agreement by that date, Peyton could become a restricted free agent.
