Peyton Manning is a former Super Bowl winner and quarterback for Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts. Manning has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL throughout the course of his 18-year career. Thus, he is a worthy contender to be included in GOAT debates. While he was a top player during his playing days, the Colts legend has managed to stay in the limelight post-retirement too. Be it starring in TV advertisements, shows, being involved in public banter with his brother, or making big money moves like investing in Fanatics, Peyton rarely catches a break.

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/Getty Images) FANATICS RAISES $100 MILLION IN THE FIRST ROUND OF FINANCING, PEYTON MANNING AMONGST THE MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS Fanatics is a sports-based e-commerce startup based in Florida. This Thursday, they raised [https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/21/fanatics-candy-digital-is-worth-1point5-billion-peyton-manning-owns-a-stake.html] another round of investment for one of its endeavors as the company seeks to diversify its income streams beyond retail. Fanatics raised $100 million in their first round of financing for their nonfungible token firm, Candy Digital. Thanks to this funding, the firm is currently worth $1.5 billion. SoftBank’s Vision Fund 2, Insight Partners, and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Peyton Manning [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/peyton-manning/] are amongst the investors. While they did not provide the details and specific terms of their investments, it does look like Manning has invested a heft sum. WHAT IS PEYTON MANNING’S NET WORTH IN 2021? According to Celebrity Net Worth [https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/peyton-manning-net-worth/], the quarterback’s current net worth is above $250 million. Meanwhile, according to Spotrac [https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/denver-broncos/peyton-manning-5028/cash-earnings/], the amount of wealth he amassed during his playing days was just 2 short of his current net worth – $248 million. Peyton was amongst the highest-paid athletes during his playing days. He used to earn a salary of $18 million. Whereas, he used to make over $40 million from endorsements alone. Thanks to all these revenue sources, today he is able to invest millions of dollars in companies. Is investing in NFT the way to go? Peyton’s friend and former rival Tom Brady surely thinks that way!

<h2 style="text-align: center">Denver Broncos 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Denver Broncos entered the American Football League (AFL) and joined the NFL as part of a merger in 1970. The initial stint wasn’t smooth, to say the least, and the Broncos weren’t competitive during the 10-year run in the AFL. Their woes continued into the early days of the NFL as well. Chiefly, they did not have a winning season until 1973.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150519/broncos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="900" />
<p style="text-align: center">Four years later, the Denver Broncos qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history and advanced to Super Bowl XII. Their fortune turned for the better after 1975 and the club only suffered nine losing seasons. They scalped eight AFC Championships and three Super Bowl championships, the most recent being in 2015.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Their high hit-rate in Super Bowl appearance means they also share the NFL record for the most Super Bowl losses (tied with the New England Patriots-5).  Not to mention, their lofty success has produced several pro-bowl Hall of Famers and MVP candidates through their years of dominance at the top.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498440 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150316/cbs-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />
<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 season left plenty to be desired and the Denver Broncos were officially out of contention early on. They placed 4<sup>th</sup> in the AFC West rounding out a losing 5-11 overall record. The Broncos failed to improve on their 7-9 season from last year. What’s more, they suffered their fourth consecutive losing season.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The original logo depicted a football player riding a bronco horse, and this image stayed with the team for one year. The next logo that ran from 1962 to 1967 gave the earlier design a more fierce look. The football player was now standing on the back of an orange horse. Both the Bronco and the player looked more brutal.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498449 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150654/denny.png" alt="" width="1000" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">The following years removed the rider and a ‘D’ emblem was used which saw a bronco horse emerging vertically drawn in white with a black outline. From 1997 to modern-day, the Denver Broncos Logo has remained the now-iconic horse profile facing right. The bronco’s head in white features a dark outline and the main and eyes are orange colored.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Pat Bowlen was the majority owner of the Denver Broncos right up to his death in June 2019. The Bowlen family, including two of his brother, purchased the team from Edgar Kaiser back in 1984. Bowlen served as Broncos CEO until July 2014 where he stepped down from the position due to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498455 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150945/patty.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />
<p style="text-align: center">After Bowlen acquired the team in 1984, the Broncos briefly held the highest winning percentage of any active franchise in the league. The metrics stood at 334 wins, 212 losses, and 1 tie, rounding out a 0.612 winning percentage passing the San Francisco 49’ers after the 2015 season. At the time of Bowlen’s death, the New England Patriots had surpassed that figure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">In August 2022 the Walmart heir Samuel Robson Walton took ownership of the Denver Broncos. He bought the franchise for a whopping $4.65 Billion, the most ever paid for a franchise in the history of all sports.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"> Denver Broncos 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Frequent franchise partners BetMGM and the Broncos agreed to a multi-year sports betting partnership that includes a premium lounge at Empower Field at Mile High. The Lounge will allow fans 21 years and older access to a full-service premium bar, a luxury lounge, and live odds with BetMGM’s mobile app.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, the Broncos also have a tie-up with Betfred USA Sports ahead of Betfred’s launching a Colorado presence. Not to mention, the club agreed to a multi-year deal with FanDeul Group for legalized sports betting and daily fantasy partnership. The partnership gives Fan Duel access to official Broncos marks and logos to use across FanDuel’s sports betting offerings in Colorado.</p>
