Peyton Manning is an all-time great quarterback. He is a two-time Super Bowl winner with two different teams and has also won the league MVP award five times. After his retirement from the game, he has continued to stay close to it because of his love for the game.
Last year, a rumor started to fly around that the older Manning brother might be interested in becoming the next NFL commissioner. This came because of his calming personality and because he is a savant of the game. However, the former Broncos quarterback was quick to shut down all those rumors.

When asked about the matter, Peyton Manning said, “no interest whatsoever.” He added, “Fan of the game, ambassador of the game, that’s what I wanna be. I don’t wanna be a critic. I wanna be a supporter of it, and I kind of wanna stay on the player side.”
The Manning brothers last season had their own show called ‘Manningcast’. It was a success, and it’s very likely that both of them will continue that show for a long time. Mainly because the fans love to watch them give their insight during NFL games.
