New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is known as the ultimate prankster and he got a little taste of his own medicine at the hands of Phil Simms. Simms was inside the Giants facility on Thursday and took a pair of his white shoes as a prank.

Simms left a note in Manning's locker room letting him know what he had done, along with the message: āHey Eli, I needed a pair of shoes so I borrowed your white tennis shoes. Thanks, Phil Simms.ā
Manning loves to pull pranks but some of his favorites include changing unlocked phones from English to another language and changing toothpaste with Icy Hot.
Just recently he revealed his all-time favorite prank, and it included scaring another quarterback into thinking he was being cut from the team.
We had a quarterback Andre Woodson here from Kentucky, this is maybe eight or 10 years ago,ā Manning said via NJ.com. āIt was this time of year, OTAs. He showed up late. This is voluntary, so you canāt technically get in trouble for showing up late.
āSo, we had the quarterback meeting and he didnāt show up. I said, āCoach, can I go use the restroom?ā and I went into his locker and cleared it out. I cleared out the whole locker. I grabbed a little New York Giants paper that they had in the training room and it had the Giants logo on it. I said, āCome see me in my office. Bring your playbook.āā
Simms prank seems a little more harmless than the ones Manning has pulled off, but it's good to see someone getting some revenge on him.
