ESPN Makes Major Peyton Manning Announcement on Tuesday

Peyton Manning has long been considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Although he officially hung up his cleats in 2016, he remains deeply involved in the game year after year.

In addition to his frequent appearances in commercials—a tradition that’s become a hallmark of his post-playing career—Manning has carved out a significant presence in sports media. His company, Omaha Productions, signed a long-term deal with ESPN that runs through 2034.

He’s best known for co-hosting the "ManningCast" alongside his brother Eli Manning. The alternate broadcast, which airs on ESPN2 during most Monday Night Football games, has become a fan favorite. 

The duo invites a wide range of guests—star athletes, celebrities, coaches, and more—while breaking down the action live with their signature mix of insight and humor.

The success of the show has brought plenty of accolades, and on Tuesday night during the 46th Annual Sports Emmy Awards, Peyton was honored with the award for "Outstanding Personality/Event Analyst." It marks his second win in the past three years and the sixth time ESPN has earned the award in this category.
