About this listen
Peyton Manning has been everywhere these past few days—the face of football nostalgia with a dash of viral charm and mentorship. The biggest headline is the launch of Season 5 of his hit ESPN+ series Peyton’s Places, which premiered Sunday, November 2, with Manning braving football history alongside stars like Josh Allen and Jason Kelce. The season kicked off with Manning and Allen performing a local ritual: they threw a barrel over Niagara Falls in a tongue-in-cheek attempt to break the legendary Buffalo sports curse. Just hours after their televised stunt, the Bills narrowly beat the Chiefs, and speculation has swirled about Peyton’s mystical powers over NFL luck. ESPN’s press room confirms that the new season focuses on quirky football moments and features guests like Rob Gronkowski and Joe Burrow.
Business-wise, Manning remains active with his ownership stake in Denver’s National Women’s Soccer League franchise, further cementing his footprint in sports entrepreneurship, according to The Colorado Sun. Despite unsubstantiated rumors floating on social media about a political run, no credible outlet has reported Peyton Manning campaigning for public office in Colorado. State records make it clear—he’s not running for lieutenant governor, but he was recently seen on stage at Red Rocks Park, and his celebrity sightings in Denver keep feeding the buzz.
On Monday Night Football, the ManningCast with Eli and Peyton returned for its fifth season on ESPN2. The broadcast continues to draw star power, with guests like Charles Barkley and Baker Mayfield, who recently trolled Peyton by sporting an Oklahoma Sooners hat live on air—a cheeky nod to their college football rivalry reported by On3.com. Peyton’s presence makes every telecast into must-watch TV, blending analysis with his signature dry humor.
Always the mentor, Manning’s advice rippled through the NFL this week as Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward publicly credited Peyton for a timely pep talk during the team’s rough patch. Ward told ESPN that Manning’s encouragement to “be yourself and lead the guys” came at just the right moment, and the relationship forged at the Manning Passing Academy continues to fuel Ward’s development.
Social media saw a playful Peyton trending after NBA on TNT cameras caught him devouring popcorn at Game 5 of the Clippers-Nuggets series in Denver—fans went wild making memes about his snack style. X also buzzed with fans revisiting Manning’s infamous 1997 Heisman snub, sparking debates about football history and giving his college career new life in the digital spotlight according to Rocky Top Insider.
Off the field, Manning continues his legacy of giving back. In late August, Manning personally congratulated the four 2025 Peyton Manning Scholars at the University of Tennessee, reinforcing his long-standing commitment to academic excellence and leadership.
