Two-time Super Bowl MVP and former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning showcased his new talent in a rap battle with internet sensation SupaHotfire.
Manning took to the field to prove he’s more than just an athlete, he’s also a poet, spitting a bar at 2013 viral internet star Supa Hotfire.
Super Hot Fire originally exploded parody video. The joke was the fact that even though he was rapping badly, his peers still had outrageous reactions.
He managed to stretch his 15 minutes of fame over a decade, culminating in it. square A matchup with the legendary Manning may be the most unexpected crossover event since the Jetsons met the Flintstones.
Eli Manning’s funny moments
The two faced off on the field at the NFL’s Pro Bowl game. They were surrounded by other NFL stars, including Dallas Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb and Manning’s former teammate, New York Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence III.
Manning bombarded his opponents with one average, bad line after another, reacted slowly, and then dropped the hammer.
“I’m Eli Manning. Sounds good. Is Tom Brady a goat? Psycho! I beat him twice!”
“Oh my god,” the crowd reacted in shock and awe. Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons fell to the ground and multiple NFC Pro Bowlers grabbed Manning as he repeated the “Hold Me Back” mantra often used in battle rap.

It’s all obviously scripted and fun, but it’s pretty hilarious to see the NFL dredge up a trend from over a decade ago and bring it back in such a ridiculous way. (Related: Washington Huskies hire Stephen Belichick as defensive coordinator: Report)
As for Eli, he once again shows how deep his comedic talents are.
I may be biased as a Giants fan, but in my humble opinion, the episodes of Saturday Night Live he hosted far surpassed those of his brother Payton, and are among the best of the millennium. This is one of the episodes.

The skit where he chooses to confess to murder rather than having his search history read out loud is comedy gold.
