Giants QB Eli Manning is an Absolute Legend for Having a 'Beer Guy' at Every NFL Stadium
By Thomas Carannante
When a video of Eli Manning crushing a few games of flip cup at a Hoboken bar surfaced, fans were hoping for a snowball effect in terms of more salacious gossip about the New York Giants quarterback.
Well, now ya have it! Supposedly Manning had a "beer guy" at every NFL stadium who would give him a six- or 12-pack after every road game so he could put a few back with his teammates on the bus back to the airport.
"It was unbelievable."

One former teammate was in awe of how Eli Manning could get a cooler of beers after every road game.https://t.co/srnPThHLQq
Color us shocked. We'd never think Eli Manning could get a hold of someone in every visiting stadium he's played at to deliver him beer just in time for his departure.
Not only that, but he'd break down the game with some teammates as they downed a few postgame brewskis.
"Eli Manning always drank beer on the team bus. It was a Broadway Joe kind of thing to do, and a fact that might run counter to an image Manning spent absolutely no time crafting."

Perfect @Ian_OConnor on the Giant that conquered New York: https://t.co/ZKmZ1Z4jO9
It appears Manning used his stature to his advantage without being pervasive whatsoever. Sure, why not use your two-time Super Bowl MVP label to snag a handful of beers throughout your career? We've seen much worse.
It appears Daniel Jones has a lot more to learn from Eli than Xs and Os.
