Peyton Manning To Host And Presenter For 2017 ESPY Awards

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.

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

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • 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.
