Peyton Manning inducted into Colorado Sports Hall of Fame
DENVER — Peyton Manning isn’t heading to the broadcast booth or the front office anytime soon.
“I’m unemployed. I’ve got a couple of ads in the paper,” Manning joked Wednesday night at his Colorado Sports Hall of Fame induction, which came on the 20th anniversary of his selection as the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft.
Manning spent 14 seasons in Indianapolis and four in Denver, then retired after becoming the first quarterback to win Super Bowl rings with two teams.
He said he’s enjoying retirement but keeps close tabs on the NFL, attending several games over the last couple of years in Denver, where he and his wife continue to raise their two young children.
