Eli Manning is a very famous athlete since his brother is Peyton Manning; since he has done many great things, and since he earned many awards, acknowledgements, and records. Right now, he actually is facing three challenges and is trying to overcome them. Those challenges are: his team has a losing record; his favorite receiver has

The second one was held on September 19, 2010 and Peyton and his team defeated Eli’s team again by a score of 38 to 14.

In addition, in the state of Mississippi, Eli took a 5-year campaign in 2007 to raise 2.5 million dollars to build “The Eli Manning Children’s Clinic.” It was at the University of Mississippi Medical Center Blair E.
