Eli Manning noticed this moment, and it reminded him of how the Eagles’ fans treated him. He said that many 9-year-old kids would often give him the bird. In an episode of the Manningcast in September, Eli did something which he had to apologize for later. Eli Manning stuck both of his middle fingers up. Later he said, “Alright, alright, sorry,” Eli adds, “Earlier, I gave the double bird. I guess that’s frowned upon, so I apologize if I offended anybody. I thought — that a 9-year-old did to me, I thought I could do it back.”
