Eli, who has also twice been named Super Bowl MVP, regaled family members - including Peyton - with glimpses of his championship ring - his second in four years.
"Words cannot express how amazing this feels, big brother," said Eli, as Peyton just sat and nodded despondently. "As you yourself know, winning the Super Bowl just once is pretty awesome, but to win it a second time is just... wow."
Eli Manning's team, the New York Giants, defeated the New England Patriots 21-17 in a repeat performance of the 2008 Super Bowl championship game Sunday - with Eli celebrating in front of his family in attendance.
"I'll grant you, the game was mighty close there for a while," he said shortly after the game. "But this was my second appearance at the Super Bowl and I sure as hell wasn't going to mess things up like I know some players might have."
"Doesn't it just sound so good? Eli Manning: two-time MVP; two-time champion."
According to sources close to the Manning family, Eli also spent a good portion of Sunday night reiterating to Peyton how amazing it was to "win the Super Bowl right here in the great city of Indianapolis."
