If Eli Manning is to be believed, we’ve been living a lie.
Who comes to mind when the word “Omaha” is mentioned? For most football fans, the logical answer would be Peyton Manning, the Pro Football Hall of Famer and five-time NFL MVP who made almost as many headlines for his quirky and elaborate audibles as he did for his stellar play on the field.
