When it comes to legendary football siblings, Peyton and Eli Manning are IT. Both are Super Bowl champs, NFL icons and, let’s be honest—absolute menaces when they start roasting each other. Their mix of sibling rivalry and elite trolling has been keeping fans entertained for years, and they do not miss.
So, when Peyton’s birthday came around, Eli did what any little brother with Wi-Fi would do—clowned him online. He posted a childhood throwback with Peyton and their older brother, Cooper, captioning it: “Happy birthday to ‘cool guy’ Peyton!” The sarcasm was so strong, you could feel it through the screen. Fans ate it up because no one humbles Peyton like Eli. Because brothers roast each other and sisters as well.
But it’s not all jokes—these two are still deep in the football scene. In 2025, they pulled up as honorary head coaches for the Pro Bowl Games, with Peyton leading the AFC squad and Eli coaching the NFC. And before you start thinking they’re out here drawing up real plays—nah, it’s just for vibes. They’ve been doing this for three years now, and Eli’s been cooking Peyton’s team the last two times.
Off the field, the Mannings are still running the content game. Their ManningCast on Monday Night Football? Must-watch TV! It’s just them talking ball, roasting players, and bringing on A-listers. No boring analyst energy here—just two brothers talking their talk and keeping it real.
And Eli? He’s tryna level up—literally. He’s looking to buy a minority stake in the New York Giants, which would be the most boss move ever. Imagine going from franchise QB to part-owner? That’s the definition of ‘I never left, I just changed seats.’
Meanwhile, Peyton is out here building his empire. He just teamed up with Candace Parker and country icons, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, to bring a WNBA expansion team to Nashville. The squad would be called the Tennessee Summitt, as a tribute to the GOAT, Pat Summitt. Big W for women’s hoops and an even bigger flex for Peyton.
At the end of the day, the Manning bros are still on the move, keeping football fun, making power moves, and never missing an opportunity to roast each other. And honestly? We wouldn’t want it any other way. But, BUT! Eli didn’t just have fun with Peyton’s birthday message, he went ahead and ditched ‘cool guy‘ Manning to have fun with another set of bros.
Eli Manning just ditched Peyton for the star pop band and he’s not looking back
Eli Manning just made the boldest career pivot of all time—trading in the Manning bros for the Jonas Brothers. He dropped a full-length pic with Nick, Joe, and Kevin, casually captioning it: “Sorry Peyton and Coop, I’m now officially part of the JoBros.” The energy? Absolutely unhinged. Fans were losing it, and honestly? Eli might just be the fourth Jonas at this point. Hilarious man!
The Jonas Brothers are deep in their “Living The Dream” tour, celebrating 20 years of dropping bangers. The tour kicks off August 10 at MetLife Stadium (aka Eli’s old stomping grounds) and runs through November, hitting all the major cities. So yeah, Eli really picked the perfect time to ‘join’ the band.
Of course, this isn’t Eli’s first time proving he’s got content king energy. The dude teamed up with Pete Davidson for a joint Instagram account, has been roasting Peyton online for years, and just stays relevant without even trying. Whether he’s throwing passes or throwing jokes, Eli is always gonna keep us entertained.
