may not have had a distinguished career as an NFL player, but this particular incident alone should be sufficient to change that and make him eligible for the Hall of Fame. The former quarterback for the New York Giants is currently enjoying his post-retirement life, as he has been selected to coach the NFC team in the Pro Bowl game.
In addition to competing against his brother Peyton, who was coaching the AFC team, Eli found himself engaged in a rap battle with Supa Hot Fire, a YouTube sensation whose real name is DeShawn Raw.
The mere concept of Eli Manning participating in a rap battle is quite unusual to comprehend, and it was not surprising that he was completely outperformed. Although Manning may have lost the rap battle, he emerged victorious in the larger context, as Eazy E (Eli’s rap alias) delivered a scathing blow to . He delivered a particularly harsh line that would have undoubtedly hurt Brady’s emotions.
The greatest of all time received an unexpected criticism during Pro Bowl weekend. While Tom Brady may have triumphed over Peyton Manning on numerous occasions, Eli Manning will forever be remembered as Brady’s Achilles’ heel in the Super Bowl. Manning, leading the Giants, managed to defeat the Patriots on two separate occasions in the grand event.

In Super Bowl XLII, the Giants triumphed over Brady and his team with a score of 17-14, putting an end to the Patriots’ perfect season where they remained undefeated. Then, just four years later, the two teams faced each other again in Super Bowl XLVI, and once again, Eli Manning had the upper hand over Tom Brady, leading the Giants to a 21-17 victory.
It is safe to say that Eli Manning will not let go of that accomplishment anytime soon, and rightfully so. After all, he has managed to achieve a feat that only a few individuals in the NFL have ever accomplished.
The rap battle was entertaining and served as one of the highlights of this year’s Pro Bowl festivities. The legendary quarterback began his initial verse by referencing his two championship rings.
Interestingly, he received a penalty in the following round for “roughing the rapper” after making contact with his opponent. This was a clear jab at the officiating in the NFL this season, where defensive players are being penalized for simply doing their job. As part of the penalty, Manning was required to maintain a distance of 15 yards from his opponent and continue participating.
