Eagles Fans Loudly Boo Eli Manning After Welcoming Him With “Double Birds”

History is shared by Eli Manning, Eagles quarterback. The future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback spent his entire 16-year with the New York, one of Philadelphia’s NFC East rivals.

Although Eli Goes 10-21 against “the Birds,” Philly won only one Super Bowl over the same time period. He won two Super Bowls during his career. The rivalry continues to this day.

Earlier this week, on Omaha Productions’ Monday Night Football ‘ManningCast,’ Eli spoke about a promise that he made to him. After his retirement, Eli vowed not to return to the City of Brotherly Love.

After I retired I stated that I would not go back to Philly for a football game. However, I believe I need to fulfill my promise (for Giants Eagles). I believe I must go there. I can’t wait to see the amount of double birds I get. This could be a new record.

The “double birds” That’s what he meant to say was two middle fingers.

Eli Manning was correct!

Eli, as he promised, broke his word and returned to Philadelphia. NFC Divisional Round Saturday. He was greeted upon his arrival with a billboard, and offered a complimentary drink. “double bird” salute.

Eli and his daughter made it to Lincoln Financial Field just a few hours later.

He was dressed in a beanie because temperatures were in the 30s at kickoff.

Peyton and his son were in attendance as well. However, instead of supporting his uncle, Eli’s nephew wore a Jalen Hurts jersey.

Finally, the whole Manning family reached a box. Eli was met with loud boos, and lots of the aforementioned ‘double birds.’

The jumbotron showed former Eagles players and cut to the ex-Giants quarterback between.

Although Eli Manning surely didn’t take offense to the not-so-warm reception, he probably didn’t enjoy watching New York go down 21-0 in the second quarter. Philadelphia, welcome back!
