Eli Pokes Fun at Peyton After Golf Gaffe
Eli Pokes Fun at Peyton After Golf Gaffe originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hasn't needed much help staying around the game in the early years of his retirement. Much of that can be attributed to his brother, Peyton Manning, the Pro Football Hall of Famer with an expansive off-field empire.

The two co-host the 'Manningcast' for Monday Night Football and coach against each other during the Pro Bowl. Between commercials and number retirements, they aren't hard to find.
Their presence is online, too, often at the expense of each other. The Giants legend recently poked fun at Peyton after a golf gaffe hit the timeline. Manning overshot his drive and hit a house, giving Eli plenty of ammo.
'I'm so proud!' Eli posted on Twitter.
When he isn't trolling his brother on social media, there's a good chance he's hanging around New York sports. He's among the cavalry of former Giants who have spoken to the team at organized team activities.

On Wednesday, head coach Brian Daboll spoke to reporters about their presence.
'Yeah, it's something I thought about at the end of the season, getting ready for this upcoming season, some of the things I wanted to do,' Daboll said. 'One of those was to bring some guys in, brought a number of them in. There will be another one here today. Give a good message about what it means to be a Giant for them and some different things that hopefully mean something to our players.
'Obviously a lot of legends that have played the game for this organization and tremendous football players in the National Football League, and I have a good relationship with a lot of those guys throughout my time here and they're willing to come in and talk to those young guys. I think it's beneficial for them.'
It may be a coincidence, but New York likely appreciates that Manning, Michael Strahan, and Justin Tuck play the same positions as its 2025 first-round picks. Edge rusher Abdul Carter was grateful for the experience of listening to Strahan and Tuck, and Jaxson Dart has a history with Manning given their connections to the University of Mississippi.

'No, we have conversations before they come, but again, to hear from an LT or a Stray (Strahan) or a Tuck or Eli. There's been a number of them,' he added. 'I think it's good for these players that are playing for this organization to hear from guys that have done it at a high level, not just for the New York Giants, but for the National Football League.'
Needless to say, fans can expect to see much more of Manning this season, whether it be around the Giants or on ESPN.

2025 NCAA baseball Super Regionals set: What are the most intriguing matchups?
By Mitch Light, Joe Rexrode, Lindsay Schnell and Mitch Sherman The 2025 NCAA baseball Super Regional field is set following six winner-take-all games on Monday. Top seed Vanderbilt and No. 2 seed Texas were both eliminated on Sunday, but five of the six other top-eight national seeds advanced and will serve as hosts next weekend. Advertisement The story on Monday night was Murray State, which became the 10th No. 4 seed to advance to the Super Regionals since the current format was instituted in 1999. The Racers, the champions of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, held on for a 12-11 win over Ole Miss in Game 7 of the Oxford Regional on Monday night. Ole Miss trimmed a 12-3 deficit to 12-11 with five runs in the seventh and three in the eighth but went down quietly in the ninth. Little Rock, one of two teams in the field with a losing record, almost became a second No. 4 seed to advance, but the Trojans lost to LSU in the Baton Rouge Regional championship game. Here are the matchups in the Super Regionals: No conference has more teams in Super Regionals than the ACC 😤 — ACC Network (@accnetwork) June 3, 2025 Is this the year Duke finally gets over the hump? The program has reached the Super Regional three previous times under coach Chris Pollard but had to play each time on the road, losing at Texas Tech in 2018, Vanderbilt in 2019 and Virginia in 2023. Duke took the first game in each of those Supers but ultimately fell short. Now, the Blue Devils finally get to play at home, thanks to Murray State's magical run through the Oxford Regional. And how about those Racers! Murray State won the Regional in dramatic fashion, beating Ole Miss twice at Swayze Field to advance to the Supers for the first time in program history. The Racers got it done offensively, scoring a total of 42 runs in their four games in Oxford — three vs. Ole Miss and one vs. Georgia Tech. They will be facing a Duke pitching staff that gave up 10 total runs in three games at the Athens Regional, including only three to a powerful Georgia offense that leads the nation in home runs. — Light THAT moment… #GoRacers🏇 — Murray State Baseball (@RacersBaseball) June 3, 2025 This is a showcase of two of the SEC's — and by definition, the nation's — most talented teams. They might be the top two. Tennessee has prospects such as pitchers Liam Doyle and Marcus Phillips, and infielders Andrew Fischer and Gavin Kilen. Arkansas counters with star shortstop Wehiwa Aloy, outfielder Charles Davalan and pitchers Gage Wood and Zach Root. It's a talent bonanza. Advertisement It's also a continuation of the SEC's disappointment after an underwhelming performance in the Regionals. That one of these teams definitely won't get to Omaha is a downer for the league, especially considering some of the national seeds that didn't make it to the Supers. Tony Vitello returns to his former home to take on mentor Dave Van Horn in one of the sport's great environments. Arkansas took two out of three at home against Tennessee to end the regular season and had no issues cruising through the first weekend, but the Vols seem to have their edge back. — Rexrode The eight-nine matchup is always intriguing, but this one is especially so because after a wild Regional round, we don't have that many Supers featuring two top-16 seeds. And neither team had an easy path to get here. After Oregon State's opening home loss, the Beavers' chances were shaky, but OSU responded by scoring 43 (43!) runs in its final three Regional games. FSU needed some magic of its own to pull off a late-game comeback against Mississippi State and advance to its 19th (19th!) Super Regional, the most of any program in the country. Florida State has one of the top prospects in the country in junior left-hander Jamie Arnold. The Beavers boast one of the best freshmen in the nation in right-hander Dax Whitney. Though they aren't likely to start the same game — Arnold should be the Game 1 guy while Whitney is likely for Game 2 — we are probably in for a masterclass in pitching. — Schnell This battle of the four-letter state schools is a historical mismatch. The Roadrunners are in the NCAA postseason for the first time since 2013 — which happens to be the year that the Bruins last qualified for the College World Series. UCLA won it all 12 years ago. Coach John Savage, in his 21st season, aims to take a fourth UCLA team to Omaha. But UTSA will not be intimidated by the iconic jersey or the setting after it rolled Texas twice en route to sweeping the Austin Regional. It was one of several black eyes for the SEC in the opening weekend of the tournament. When it's over in Westwood, we'll see a representative from the American Athletic Conference or the Big Ten at the CWS. — Sherman (Photo of Murray State: Petre Thomas / Imagn Images)

Shigeo Nagashima, known in Japan as 'Mr. Pro Baseball,' dies at 89
Associated Press TOKYO (AP) — Shigeo Nagashima, who was known in Japan as 'Mr. Pro Baseball' and was one of the most famous people in the country during his playing days, has died. He was 89. His death was confirmed Tuesday by the Yomiuri Giants, the team he helped make famous and eventually managed. His passing was also announced in special extra editions of newspapers that are handed out on street corners — a throwback to breaking news in an earlier time. He was famous in a period before Japanese players like Ichiro Suzuki and Shohei Ohtani began to star in North American MLB. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said Nagashima 'gave bright dreams and hopes to the society.' Nagashima helped lead the Giants as they won nine straight Japan Series titles — the counterpart to the World Series — from 1965 through 1973. His equally famous teammate was Sadaharu Oh, who hit 868 home runs in his career. Nagashima played third base, finished with a .305 batting average, had 2,471 hits, 1,522 RBIs and 444 home runs. He played for 17 seasons and retired in 1974, then returned to manage the Giants in 1975 through 1980. He was fired after the 1980 season when the Giants failed to win the Japan Series during his stint. He returned to the dugout in 1993 and led the Giants to the Japan Series title in 1994 with Hideki Matsui, who eventually joined the New York Yankees. He also won the championship in 2000. He was to set to manage Japan in the 2004 Athens Olympics, but had a stroke a few months before that left him partially paralyzed and unable to participate. ___ AP MLB: recommended
