Tennessee Reacts To Exciting Peyton Manning News
Tennessee Reacts To Exciting Peyton Manning News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's no doubt that throughout his 18-year career in the NFL (1998-2015), former quarterback Peyton Manning established himself as one of the best players in league history. Advertisement Of course, since retiring, he's already earned several different honors, including being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and having his jersey retired by the Indianapolis Colts, but on Wednesday, he earned another. ESPN announced he was one of three quarterbacks selected, along with Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, for their "NFL All Quarter Century team," which picked 53 of the best players in the league based on production since 2000. That caught the attention of the Tennessee Volunteers, where he spent his collegiate years, who took to social media with their post to congratulate the legendary quarterback. There's no doubt that Manning is worthy of this achievement, because from 2000-2015, he completed 5,468-of-8,272 passes for 64,066 yards, 487 touchdowns, 208 interceptions and a 98.6 passer rating. Advertisement In that time, he was also named to 13 Pro Bowls, earned First-Team All-Pro honors seven times, won five MVP Awards (most in NFL history), Offensive Player of the Year twice and two Super Bowls (one with the Denver Broncos and one with the Colts) Though maybe none of this success would have been possible if not for the four years with Tennessee, where he finished within the top 10 of Heisman Trophy voting three times and earned All-America honors in his senior season.

Entering the 2025 college football season, the Texas Longhorns and quarterback Arch Manning are expected to be one of the best teams in the nation.

Manning has the talent to become something very special. Many believe that he would be in contention to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft if he chooses to leave Texas. That being said, he has a lot of hype to live up to during the upcoming season with the Longhorns.

Read more: Bill Belichick's Future With North Carolina Made Crystal Clear By Insider During an interview with Sporting News, Manning spoke out about Arch. He made it clear first and foremost just how proud he is of the young signal caller. "I'm proud of Arch," Manning said. "He went to Texas because that's where he wanted to go. He wanted to go to school there. That was the reason I went to Tennessee." Manning continued on to talk about what makes the Longhorns such a good football program. "It's more than just the football program," he said. "You like going to school there. You like the head coach who also calls the plays, and that creates great continuity. To me, the Kyle Shanahans, the Sean McVays – when the head coach is calling the plays – the quarterback is going to thrive in the same system every single year." He then transitioned into talking about the younger Manning's upcoming year. "The fact that this will be Arch's third year in that system, he'll have great knowledge of the system – still hasn't had on-the-field game reps as I'm sure he would have liked, but those will come this year," Manning said. "There will be things for him to learn, but I'm proud of him for his commitment and I'm looking forward to watching him play."

He completed 67.8 percent of his pass attempts for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also ran for 108 yards and four more scores. After waiting behind Ewers for two years, it's Manning's turn. He's ready for the limelight and will be given a chance to prove that the superstar hype he has received as a backup is accurate. His uncle is clearly excited and expecting big things from him. It will be interesting to see if Manning is able to prove everyone right for believing in him.

Eagles Star Revealed Impactful Advice From Peyton Manning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. When the 2025 NFL season gets started, the Philadelphia Eagles understand they'll have a target on their backs. Being that they are entering the season as the most recent Super Bowl Champions, they know they are likely to get every team's best shot. Dallas Goedert and several veterans on the roster don't want to get overly confident. While they know they have the talent to make a deep run and hoist the Lombardi trophy, the Eagles want to maintain their trademark underdog mindset. The veteran tight end recently revealed the Eagles reached out to the legendary quarterback Peyton Manning to "pick his brain" on how to stay motivated throughout the year, knowing you're the champs. Manning offered a unique story about what he did in the past. "He would make fake quotes and put them in the locker room because nobody was saying that they were bad or they beat them," Goedert said. "So he put, 'My receiver can't get off a press.' He would put that in his receiver's locker. [The receiver would say], 'Are you serious, he said that?!' It's just finding different ways to keep yourself motivated when the negative isn't coming at you." 'He would make fake quotes and put them in the locker room' 😂 -Dallas Goedert says he and 10-15 Eagles on the leadership council spoke with 2 time Super Bowl champ Peyton Manning to pick his brain about how to repeat as champs. Peyton says you have to find motivation when… — John Clark (@JClarkNBCS) June 18, 2025 Manning had a career that spanned from 1998 to 2015. He had stints with the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos, winning a Super Bowl with each organization. Head coach Peyton Manning of the AFC during the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Skills Showdown on January 30, 2025 at the UCF Campus in Orlando, Florida. Head coach Peyton Manning of the AFC during the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Skills Showdown on January 30, 2025 at the UCF Campus in Orlando, his career, Manning was a multi-time Offensive Player of the Year, Pro Bowler, All-Pro, NFL MVP, and a one-time Super Bowl MVP. As a former first-overall pick, Manning entered the league with high expectations, and surely met them as he entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021. While the Eagles might have to search to find bulletin board material to stay motivated this year, it won't take long to find what they are seeking. Since the Eagles made the run to accomplish their first Super Bowl in 2017-2018, they were famously considered underdogs, despite being the top seed in the NFC. The Eagles might look a lot different since that underdog team, but they have reasons to carry the same mentality. Since the start of the Jalen Hurts era, the Eagles have struggled to be considered true contenders to the public. They used that as fuel this past season and ended the year on the highest note possible. Soon, we'll see if Manning's advice goes to good use.

Bristol City head coach Liam Manning leaves for Norwich City
It's been officially confirmed that Bristol City head coach Liam Manning will depart the club, the 39-year-old swapping the West Country for league rivals Norwich City. Discussions over Manning's future have been taking place over the last week, with an official approach from the canaries coming on the morning of Tuesday 3 June. It is believed that they agreed to pay £800,000 in compensation to Bristol City as part of the agreement with the head coach. Manning was appointed at BS3 in November 2023. He came in off the back of Nigel Pearson, who had taken the club to mid-table finishes during his time in charge. In his first full year he oversaw a huge upturn in results, taking City all the way to the Championship play-offs for the first time since 2008. Ultimately the season ended with a 6-0 aggregate defeat to Sheffield United, ties that proved to be Manning's last at the helm. Liam Manning being poached by their Championship counterparts marks the first time the robins have been paid for a manager or head coach since Tony Pulis at the turn of the millennium. Bristol City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: 'We are disappointed to lose Liam after such a successfulcampaign. 'I would like to place on record my thanks to Liam for his hard work and commitment over the past 18 months and the memories we have made together and wish him and his family all the best for the future. 'We are assessing all options as we look to replace Liam.' Norwich City sacked their head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup at the end of April, putting former Arsenal legend Jack Wilshere in charge for the remaining few league games of the campaign. Manning himself has history in the area of Norwich having grown up there, he even attended matches at Carrow Road as a youngster. Bristol City now turn their attention towards a replacement, with names such as former Forest Green and Luton Town manager Rob Edwards, Gary O'Neil and former England international Steven Gerrard.

Peyton Manning shares how he's winning in Hollywood by appealing to Middle America
Peyton Manning is becoming a Hollywood star, without becoming "Hollywood." When the Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion created Omaha Productions, making shows about sports was a given. But Manning's TV company is now diversifying its slate away from the field. "I like history. I love country music. I have great appreciation for the military," Manning said in a recent interview with Business Insider. "And so we've tried to do things that at least have some sort of authentic connection to that." Manning founded his TV production firm in 2020 with former Fox Sports executive Jamie Horowitz, and it's been a hit so far. Omaha was valued at over $750 million by an investment round this spring spearheaded by former Endeavor executive Patrick Whitesell. Manning's company has also secured a first-look deal with Disney's 20th Television after creating the buzzy "ManningCast" starring Peyton and his brother Eli, as well as a slew of sports docuseries for Netflix: "Quarterback," "Receiver," and "Starting Five." Manning told BI that there's no one-size-fits-all definition of an Omaha show. But there are a few common threads: shows that are "uplifting and unifying" and related to Manning's personal interests. Omaha produced the Country Music Awards last November and has also produced series for the History Channel, like "Beyond the Battlefield" and "The Mega-Brands That Built America." Manning said Omaha tries to make its slate family-friendly. Omaha's niche: Sports, history, country music Omaha is an apt name for Manning's production company. Football fans will recognize it as a callback to the callout signal Manning often gave as the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. But although Omaha isn't necessarily a reference to the Nebraska city, the company has strong Midwest sensibilities. The topics Manning has an affinity for — sports, business, country music, history, and the military — have clear appeal in Middle America. That said, the former Colts and Broncos star has always kept his personal politics to himself, and Omaha is trying to stay far away from politics and the culture wars. Omaha is also staying away from gritty subjects like crime, even though Manning said he personally loves "The Sopranos" and "Goodfellas." (Their military-themed show was about the history of the Marines and Army and how soldiers train, not an intense wartime drama like HBO's "Band of Brothers.") The Middle America appeal aligns with Manning's roots. He grew up in Louisiana, played college football at Tennessee, and spent most of his career in Indianapolis. Omaha isn't the only TV outfit finding success in this lane. Taylor Sheridan has made a slew of popular shows, kicked off by Paramount's "Yellowstone." Amazon Prime Video has also invested heavily in so-called "dad TV" with "Reacher" and "Jack Ryan," plus faith-based shows like "House of David," based on King David in the Bible. From signal caller to shot-caller While Omaha has momentum, Manning said starting a production company came with a steep learning curve — plus inevitable incompletions when pitching to streamers and networks. "We've heard 'no' plenty," Manning said. "It doesn't mean it's not a good idea. All it takes is one to like you." Manning said he's enjoyed being a producer even more than being in front of the camera. "I'm the offensive coordinator in the press box," Manning said. "I never really had been a part of anything like that, where I didn't sort of have to play quarterback." Manning said he's looking forward to the next season of "Quarterback," which debuts on Netflix in July and features the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, the Detroit Lions' Jared Goff, and the Atlanta Falcons' Kirk Cousins. Manning noted that the first-look deal with 20th Television won't impact preexisting deals with streamers like Netflix. The Omaha project that Manning is anticipating the most is "Chad Powers," a coming Hulu show that stars Glen Powell as a former standout quarterback who tries to resurrect his career by going undercover as a walk-on. The idea for the show came from an Omaha Productions sketch that Eli Manning did back in 2022. "Eli's in a horrible wig, he's got a horrible accent, he talks about being homeschooled and coached by his mom, he has these little catchphrases," Manning said. "And next thing you know, maybe one of the biggest movie stars in the world is doing a show about that." The Apple TV+ show "Ted Lasso" also began as a skit and became a smash hit. Manning hopes "Chad Powers" follows suit.
