The Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, and it brought back memories of the Giants win in AT&T Stadium’s opener. That game will go down in the lore of the NFL and the rivalry between the Cowboys and Giants because quarterback Eli Manning signed the visiting locker room wall after defeating the Cowboys on their big night.

On Sunday night Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about that signature on the wall, and Jones said not only is the signature still there, but he has “memorialized it.”

Of course this is all common according to Manning, who also said he was asked to do it shortly after the incident.

“It’s a pretty common thing. I was asked to sign it,” Manning said, via NJ.com. “It wasn’t like I just went there and signed it. I didn’t have a pen on me or anything.”

And it seems like Manning is asked about it every time the two teams play, here is Manning commenting on it again in 2010.

“It’s not like I was trying to do anything disrespectful to their new stadium by any means,” Manning said, via New York Daily News. “I was surprised (at the attention it got) just because it is a tradition in a lot of other stadiums. Part of the reason why is it just wasn’t explained very well. People made it sound like I just went right in their locker room and right for everybody to see, (like) I was trying to do something disrespectful. It wasn’t like that by any means.”

Here is a picture of the signature, via Deadspin:
