Ron Burgundy interviews Peyton Manning on SportsCenter | ESPN Archive

hello America Mexico and remote parts of Canada this is Ron Burgundy reporting for ESPN or Espen as it's known in the biz my guest today is none other than future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning Peyton can you hear me I sure can Ron and it's an honor to be talking to you Peyton can you hear me yes Ron I can very clearly can you hear me Ron yes loud and clear can you hear me what do you think I think yes you can hear me I just want to make sure it's you Peyton I remember once before the the 1978 Holiday Bowl I thought I was interviewing the great Phil McConkey and instead I was talking to the backup kicker I felt like a fool and the boys at the station in quite a laugh at my expense so I'm just just making sure I actually remember that game Ron I think maybe squeaked one out at the old Murph I was 2 years old helluva helluva game hell of a battle Payton Payton here's something I've got to ask you right out of the gate you are one of the great quarterbacks playing the game today you've had a lot of success and yet you've done it all without a mustache now you're running around out there and and I'm gonna be honest with you you look like a succulent baby lamb okay and let's face it all the great NFL quarterbacks have had moustaches Joe Namath Jeff Hostetler Jeff George Randall Cunningham mark Malone Colt McCoy Burt Reynolds the guy from Barney Miller Mike Farrell from mass the list goes on and on Barney Miller well first off Ron some of those guys weren't quarterbacks as far as I know and I guess to tell you the truth I never had much of a desire to grow any facial hair I think I've managed to play quarterback okay without a mustache Eli tried to grow on a while back without much success I have to say oh I saw that it did not look good easy ride my brother I do agree though it wasn't it wasn't very well-groomed sorry you've played against some tremendous defensive players over the years and I have to ask you what's it like getting sacked by Merlin Olsen yes Ron I'm pretty sure I was four years old when Merlin Olsen retired maybe maybe not regardless I was actually thinking about the time Merlin tackled me at his bungalow in Burbank what a night you know you know Merlin and I were very close I think I did read that somewhere yes I miss him so you play in Denver for the Broncos at Mile High Stadium tell me about your relationship with Thunder our mascot yes yes you're talking to be talking about the horse that runs up and down the field every time the Broncos score oh yes I've had my eye on that wonderful beast for decades that right yes I didn't really picture you as a guy who played the ponies well indeed I do let's just say that I'm craving a little bareback right now as we speak I wasn't really prepared for this interview to go in this direction speaking of preparation I understand that that is one of your calling cards preparation that is recognizing coverages making calls at the line of scrimmage you're actually right Ron I firmly believe that preparation is a huge part of my game really all quarterbacks and I saw they think it gives me an advantage on Sundays oh sure sure I mean I know I played a little in my day San Diego San Diego State Scout team quarterback you see a luck off all the time check off no clue what it meant boon I saw someone on that defense move I just yelled check off check off is that pretty much what you do but you're you're somewhere on the right track Ron you you're close to being on the right track paetynn let me ask you this do you ever just yell things to throw the defense off things that make no sense absolutely all the time can you give me an example well Roz sometimes I'll just yell underpants over and over again or maybe I'll change it up with oven mitt maybe oven mitt okay have you ever yelled biscuits and gravy biscuits and gravy is probably one of our best place I've yelled magic man of your baby got back baby every old I'm gonna pop some tags of course sure what about a ain't no party like a West Coast party because a West Coast party don't stop absolutely and I'm sure you've made the line called dingo got my baby dingo got my baby and and the defense is just terribly confused at this point absolutely they're horribly confused but my offense is as well because it's it's good to keep your own offensive players on their toes bingo and that's why Peyton Manning is the best in the biz Peyton before I let you go a lot of attention has been given to you and your two brothers Eli is it a lie or Ellie sorry sorry so a lot of attention to your two union brothers Eli and Cooper but few people know about you're the fourth Manning brother Danyelle Manning who is currently playing strong safety for the Texans and his african-american tell me a little about Danielle Manning well Rob I hate to break it to you you know there's not a fourth Manning brother named Danielle Manny he's got a heck of a football player I played against him a lot but a weird law related okay well good to know and someone here at Espen in the research department is gonna be fired so so there so there isn't any truth to the rumor of a Manning sister Gloria Manning who weighed 285 pounds as a freshman in high school and ran a for 340 and was was frankly a better football player than all of you Ron how did you find out about my sister Gloria it's it's what I do well Peyton that's all the time we have I want to want to thank you my guest Peyton Manning for coming on here with me you are a dear dear friend thanks a lot as you are as well done very funny well good luck on Sunday and we'll be right back
