Not everyone got a laugh out of Eli Manning flipping the double bird on "Manningcast."
Three complaints were filed with the FCC after the former New York Giants quarterback flashed two middle fingers during the Manning brothers' Sept. 27 broadcast of a Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game, TMZ Sports reports.
"Mr. Manning's actions are offensive to me as a viewer. It was also offensive as a Philadelphia native and sports fan," one viewer wrote, according to TMZ. "There was young children watching that broadcast last evening."
Another viewer reportedly demanded Manning be banned from the airwaves for flipping off the camera.

Manning apologized for the gesture during the broadcast and jokingly blamed former Eagles defensive end, and guest, Chris Long. Peyton, Manning's brother, also apologized for encouraging him to do it.
