The Philadelphia area is waiting for the Giants as well as a QB who is no longer playing for the team.
The legendary Giants quarterback admitted this week he would return to the City of Brotherly love for Saturday’s Divisional Round playoff game against the Eagles, and he’s getting a warm welcome.
“I said when I retired I’d never go back to a football game in Philly,” he said on ESPN’s “Manning-cast” during Monday’s Cowobys-Buccaneers game. “But I think I have to break that promise. I can’t wait to see the amount of double birds I get. Could break a record.”
A Philadelphia-area billboard that says “Welcome back to Philly, Eli. We salute you” is waiting for Manning and it features double birds in the middle.
