Peyton Manning To Host And Presenter For 2017 ESPY Awards


LucasOilStadium

Recommended Posts

Hi, Colts fans!   I just saw the promo that former Colts QB legend, and likely forthcoming PFHOF inductee Peyton Manning is to host the upcoming ESPY Awards next Wednesday.  I don't know if he will be the sole primary presenter during the show, but I am sure in an award program and event like the ESPY Awards, there will be a rotation of various presenters handing out awards to the winners during the ESPY Awards.  I look forward to watching Peyton on stage, probably even wearing a tuxedo.  If any of you remember Peyton in the past hosted NBC's Saturday Night Live while he was a Colt.

They want Peyton to hand over a trophy to Brady, that is what this is all about!!! :) 

 

I can see him doing several roasts of Brady, Rodgers etc., should be good entertainment. Probably a good live audition for his future entertainment career, to see if he can engage beyond a commercial or few minutes of comedy roast. Knowing Peyton, he will be prepared. :)

Thanks for sharing your sentiment, folks!   Just for the record, the event and ESPY Awards show is happening at the Microsoft Theatre, formerly Nokia Theatre, in Hollywood, CA., a short distance down Sunset Blvd. from the Staples Center, the L.A. Live Entertainment area, and the ESPN West Coast Studios.

 

Also, while ESPN, The Worldwide Leader In Sports, stands forthe  Entertainment (And) Sports Programming Network,  The ESPY Awards is the acronym  for Excellence In Sports Performance Yearly Awards.

Not an Espy fan and not an ESPN fan I think I'll watch highlights of it the next day. PBS airs "The Big Pacific" at the same time which is a photogenic masterpiece.j

I personally like the Espys.  It is usually very entertaining, and it covers all sports, so it's nice to see some highlights from the year of some phenomenal athletes and what they've done both on and off the field.

I wonder if Peyton will ask Eli if he can get a hold of an authentic Giants helmet signed by little bro for his NFL memorabilia collection? LOL! 

 

I love Easy E almost as much as "The Sheriff" but darn it, that would be comic gold. I know; I know. Eli probably won't say anything until the matter is resolved legally 1 way or another.

Gotta admit........come on Durant.......don't look so mad. lmao  It is what it is we know what you did. lmao Gotta take a joke. But also mentioning Westbrook.........:lol:

Gotta admit watching some of this over Peyton is still hilarious with this stuff. I knew he was hilarious when on SNL but I missed it tonight sadly. Will have to watch it online sometime over.

I didn't see it live either but was at work. Just go to YouTube and it shows the full opening monologue. Peyton nailed it tonight, he was the best thing that ever happened to Indianapolis sports and it's not close on my list anyway. I put Reggie Miller 2nd but Peyton won us a SB. Yeah Durant looked perplexed lmao. I think Westbrook wanted to laugh but was stunned when Peyton said what do think Russ haha

    It is very difficult to do stand up comedy....we all know that....

...you've got to to be so confident and fearless because every line wont work and every line wont make everybody happy (talkin to you, Kevin)

(and how did the duck get a front row seat?)

 

Watching it again........He delivers the lines so well.....and moves from joke to joke right in time..not too fast.....I knew he'd be Okay and I'm still shocked...

I know he had writers.....but live, on national TV? The timing on everything>

... way too good.

 I'm shocked....I'm sure stand up comedy is not that easy

    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
    • Sir, I was just trying to help you out. No good deed goes unpunished! 
    • Not the least bit surprised to hear from you at this moment.   You see me in an uncomfortable conversation (with a moderator no less) and you seize the moment to take a shot at me.  And you try to act like you’re giving me a sincere explanation of what you’re doing.   Like you have an ounce of credibility with me.      This is not the first time you’ve done this.  While I may not be surprised, I’m certainly disappointed.   
    • Things have now gone from bad to worse.     After I explained myself, I was kind of hoping you’d simply come back with “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you,  may bad.”  And we’d be done with this.  It would be over.      But instead, you double down on the roommate issue and follow up by questioning everything I said by breaking down some of my comments and what you think I really meant by them.     In other words, you’re telling me my motive, my meaning, as if you know my meaning better than I do.    It’s interesting to me…. I was recently told there’s an unofficial moderator policy:  don’t attack the poster, attack the argument.    Well, I don’t see that here.  You attacked me personally the first time and instead of a simple apology, you’ve double downed on a bad hand by attacking me personally AGAIN.      Why you’re comfortable telling me you know my meaning , my intention, better than I do is mystifying to me.  And frankly, I think you’re comfortable doing this because one of us is a moderator, and it certainly is NOT me.     I’ll say it again: you misunderstood my meaning, and intention,  the first time, and you’ve misunderstood me even worse the second time.   As I said before, I’m happy to withdraw and apologize for “go figure”, but the negative inference was not my intention.  Poorly phrased, I give you (in two posts now).   I don’t know what else to say…. I’m hoping this brings this very unfortunate exchange to an end.       
    • I don't think Worthy is a good fit for Richardson's skill set. Think tall with a large catch radius for Richardson to be successful. I don't think u pair a smurf wr with a qb who may have accuracy issues. That's just me
