New York, March 12, 2008 – Having read in the Daily News over the weekend that football great Eli Manning was being courted to model a sexy underwear line, we raced over to Macy’s for the Super Bowl MVP’s appearance at the store’s Herald Square flagship on Wednesday.  But alas, Manning was not running around in his skivvies – he was fully clothed, although he did pull up his sleeve a bit to show off his wristwatch.  Manning is the face – or wrist – of the Citizen Eco-Drive timepiece. 

Fans began lining up at the store as early as 10 A.M. to meet the quarterback in person, and a few who purchased the watch got their photos snapped with Manning.
