The ‘Entourage’ creator wants Eli Manning off the Giants because he bailed on the show

Entourage -- OHHH YEAHHHUH! -- creator Doug Ellin is a big Giants fan! He is not a big Eli Manning fan, though, because even though Manning has won two Super Bowls with New York, he once stood up Entourage (OHHHH YEAAAAHUH!).

According to Ellin in this interview with Yahoo, Manning once asked to be on the show, which prompted the writers to prepare and send along a script for him and his brother Peyton, only to hear silence in return until Manning’s agent finally told them his client wanted to “focus on football” instead of acting. And now ...

“If Russell Wilson was the quarterback of the Giants, I would be a happier person.”

But hey, he ended up with Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg in that episode instead of Eli and Peyton. I bet Entourage (OHHHHH YEAHHHUH!) viewers liked that waaaayyyy better.
