On Friday afternoon, Eli Manning ventured into Reddit's Ask Me Anything subreddit to take questions from fans. Here is the best of what we learned about Eli during his hourlong chat. On the best prank anyone's ever pulled on him: "Jeff Feagles removed all the air out of my tires one year at training camp and left me a bike pump so I could pump up my tires just enough to get to a gas station." On his favorite '90s boy band: "Oh, 'N Sync. For sure." On ranking the centers he's played with based solely on odor: "Start at best smelling going to worst? I'll say ... best smelling center ... hehe ... let's start with Shaun O'Hara is the most hygienic, I think. Kevin Booth[e] coming in second place. Wayne Lucier. And I'd say that Richie Seubert comes in last place." On his weirdest fan encounter: "A guy wanted me to sign my autograph on his arm, which he was immediately going to the tattoo parlor to get it tattooed on his arm. Yes I signed it. Go Giants!" On how he feels after throwing an interception: "I don't think I've ever thrown an interception?" On whether he's prouder of the Manningham pass or the Tyree pass: "I think the Manningham pass, just because that took more skill and from practice than the Tyree pass, which was more backyard/draw it up route." On whether he can throw up the Wu-Tang sign after scoring his first TD this season: "What is the Wu-Tang sign?" On his most memorable fan encounter: "Hmm. I asked K-Fed for a picture one time. That's the only person I've ever asked for a picture, Kevin Federline." And the best answer of the day: On the "Manningface" being included in the latest "Madden" game: "I'm very disappointed they have not included my sandwich-eating touchdown dance. I am very proud of that dance and it took me a long time to master, and I feel that it needs the respect that it deserves." Read the full chat here.
