Summary

Two-time Super Bowl champ Eli Manning joins the pod to reveal what really happens behind-the-scenes for the players during Super Bowl week, talks about the stress of buying gifts for his linemen, how the quarterback position has evolved, his favorite young QBs, and whether he still has any snaps left. Eli also discusses Arch Manning’s expectations after his first season at UT, the success of the Manningcast, and drafts his ideal lineup of NFL quarterbacks for a theoretical Squad Games team. The conversation builds toward a brotherly Peyton vs. Eli game, where Eli reveals which Manning brother is superior. The episode closes with a Valentine’s Day takeover as Cody’s wife Allison and Tyler’s wife Bethany stop by for the Dudelywed game, where the couples guess how their partners will answer questions about their marriage and the answers will surprise you.
