Mark Wiedmer: Eli Manning’s Best of Preps visit ties in to a favorite message

photo New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning holds the Vince Lombardi Trophy after his team’s 21-17 win over New England Patriots in the NFL Super Bowl XLVI football game, Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012, in Indianapolis.

Eli Manning has two Super Bowl rings, two Super Bowl MVP trophies and 14-month-old daughter Ava.

Peyton Manning has one Super Bowl ring, one Super Bowl MVP trophy, four NFL MVP trophies and twins who were born 10 days after Ava.

So which Manning brother is better at changing diapers?

“Our mom,” Eli said Friday afternoon with a chuckle.

Eleven days from today, Manning will display such wit and wisdom at this newspaper’s Best of Preps banquet at the Chattanooga Convention Center. But it will be far from the first time the younger of Olivia and Archie Manning’s two NFL quarterback sons has visited the Scenic City.
