The biggest night in country music turned into a bit of a roast of Eli Manning — with Peyton tossing several barbs his little bro’s way throughout the evening … and it was all hilarious!!
The Indianapolis Colts legend was co-hosting the annual CMA Awards show with Luke Bryan in Nashville — and while a bunch of music stars caught playful shade from the duo … Eli appeared to find himself as the butt of the jokes more often than not.
In fact, it only took about 10 minutes into the show for Peyton to make his first dig at the former New York Giants star, who he co-hosts his weekly “Monday Night Football” “ManningCast” with.
“Peyton, let me break it to you, I don’t prepare,” Bryan said during the opening monologue. “I’m just kind of a wing it kind of host.”
“Trust me, that’s clear,” Peyton responded. “So, what you’re saying is, this is my worst nightmare. But it’s actually OK, because I do a show with my brother Eli — I’m used to this lack of professionalism.”
A couple hours later, Peyton threw some more quills Eli’s way while chatting with the Brothers Osborne.
“So, let me guess,” Peyton said turning to the country music group. “Your mom makes you work with your brother too, right?”
If my math is correct, that is the 3rd shot Peyton has taken at me on the CMA’s. #CMAawards

Eli certainly noticed it all — and took to Twitter to gripe about his older bro.
“If my math is correct,” the younger Manning said, “that is the 3rd shot Peyton has taken at me on the CMA’s.”
The night otherwise went off without a flaw — and Peyton was largely lauded for his performance … baby bro notwithstanding.
