“You wanted President Obama as a guest on your show, I want Justin Tucker. That’s who I want to be a guest on this show,” Manning told his brother and co-host Eli.
“Shoutout to the refs tonight, shoutout to the kickers. Let’s see if this guy can channel his inner Justin Tucker and make this, with his mustache,” Peyton continued as York got ready to attempt the field goal.
