Peyton Manning has hilarious response to request for more Mannings
Peyton and Eli Manning are back to entertaining the nation on Monday Night Football. The two brothers are hosting former Comedy Central personality Jon Stewart in the first quarter of Monday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants.
Stewart, who hosted The Daily Show for just over 15 years, had a simple question for the two brothers.
“Can’t you guys make another Manning?” Stewart asked. “How hard is it to make another Manning? You’ve got this Bayou quarterback breeding program down there, you just keep making more Mannings. Make a couple for us.”
“My dad’s stud fee has really gone up in the past 20 years,” Peyton responded.
Peyton and Eli Manning’s father, Archie, is a former NFL quarterback and college football star at Ole Miss. He went on to have three sons — Peyton, Cooper and Eli.
Archie later texted Peyton, saying his phone was blowing up with people asking what his stud fee is.
The latest Manning to make a name for himself is Cooper’s son, Arch. The junior quarterback out of New Orleans’ Isidore Newman is On3’s No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2023.
Latest on recruitment of Arch Manning
Although he hasn’t given much away publicly about his recruitment, Arch Manning has been very impressed by Texas and head coach Steve Sarkisian. The two have developed a great relationship, Manning told InsideTexas. It started during Sarkisian’s tenure as the offensive coordinator at Alabama and has only grown since then.
“(Sark) is a laid back guy, which I really like,” Manning said. “He’s not always pitching me. He just checks in, and that’s one thing I like about him. When it is football, he’s a genius.”
And according to On3’s expert predictions, Texas is likely the team to beat. There is more than a year still to go until Manning could officially sign, and his recruitment is only going to heat up from here. His visits this fall will go a long way in shaping his final decision though, he told InsideTexas’ Justin Wells.
While Texas has made lots of in-roads, both Georgia and Alabama look to be teams that can’t be counted out just yet. Manning played in front of Georgia head coach Kirby Smart last week and Steve Sarkisian the week before that.
Alabama Head coach Nick Saban has pitched Manning on being part of college football’s most dominant program and playing alongside elite talent. Whether he and offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien can convince the latest Manning prodigy to come to Tuscaloosa remains to be seen, but the Crimson Tide will not go lightly.
