"He was not amused when I told him I was an Eagles fan but still left a nine dollar tip!" Berl exclaimed.

Berl says Manning is in town because his daughter was playing at a lacrosse tournament. Berl says when he told Manning his sons were on the state championship lacrosse team, Manning thought was "very cool."

The two even bonded over a mutual friend--a classmate of Berls that played with Manning's father in the 70s.
