Peyton Manning's son impresses NFL stars at Pro Bowl Games: 'The future'

2 February 2025 at 15:12

The NFL’s most famous football family is poised to expand its footprint in the professional ranks when Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning finally declares for the draft.

And there appears to be another Manning waiting in the wings after Arch – Peyton’s son, Marshall. The younger Manning was seen throwing the football around to some NFL stars while they were at the Pro Bowl Games.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor described him as "the future" in a video posted to the Colts’ social media account. Manning threw passes into the end zone to Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase among others who were gathered in Orlando, Florida, for the game.

"Marshall Manning, man, the future right here," he said. "You are all seeing it at the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games. The future’s right here."

Arch is the son of Peyton’s older brother Cooper, making him and Marshall cousins.

Peyton and Cooper are the sons of Archie Manning, the former New Orleans Saints quarterback. He played about 11 years for the Saints as well as the Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings. His three sons, including Eli, all played football in some capacity.

Cooper was never able to play pro football, but Peyton and Eli both starred in the NFL. Each won two Super Bowl titles before they retired.

Eli Manning was named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first time on the ballot. Peyton is already a Hall of Famer.

Famed NFL coach Tony Dungy shuts down speculation that he was considering Senate run

1 February 2025 at 14:35

Tony Dungy is no stranger to making his political stances known, but that's about as far as he'll take it.

The former NFL coach has attended conservative rallies, including March for Life, and has been very open about his faith.

He even criticized Democrat nominee Kamala Harris in this past election cycle for her stance on abortion rights.

Earlier this week, a post on X surfaced that Dungy was considering a run for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat next year as a Republican.

But the rumor was unfounded, the NBC analyst said.

"Not sure where this idea came from but it didn’t come from me," Dungy said.

"I love my home state of Michigan. I pray they will elect a Senator who honors the Lord and leads the people well. But I can assure you it won’t be me."

Dungy then gave some pretty decent reasons as to why he won't run.

"Number 1, I’m not a politician and Number 2 I live in Florida."

BRETT FAVRE SAYS VIRAL CONFRONTATION WITH MARK GASTINEAU ABOUT NFL SACK RECORD WAS A 'SETUP'

Democrat senator Gary Peters will not be seeking a third term next year. He was first elected in 201 and won re-election six years later but in a much tighter race. He earned 49.9% of the vote against 48.2% by John James in 2020 after defeating Terri Lynn Land in convincing fashion, 54.6% to 41.3%.

Georgia is the other state that will have a Dem-held seat up for election in 2016, in a state won by President Donald Trump back in November. 

Republicans have not won a Michigan U.S. Senate race in over 30 years, and Peters' seat has been blue since 1972.

Pat McAfee torches Colts following bad loss to Giants, elimination from playoff hunt

29 December 2024 at 20:05

Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee scorched his old team on Sunday after watching them get eliminated from playoff contention in a loss to the New York Giants.

Indianapolis had three turnovers and allowed four Drew Lock touchdown passes in the 45-33 defeat. The Colts dropped to 7-9 on the season and were officially out of contention.

McAfee wrote a scathing post on X, criticizing the organization, ripping those who tried to get him "booed out of the city" and announcing he will not renew his season tickets.

"A blind person could see the red flags on this team.. Work ethic questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Preparation commitment questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to meetings, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to/skipping treatment, NEVER happens on good teams.. The franchise QB (Anthony Richardson) tapped out of a game.. on 3rd down.. in the red zone.. because he was tired… NEVER HAPPENED in the history of the NFL," McAfee wrote.

"That’s literally the only thing you need to tell someone (who knows ball) and they could tell you everything about this team…"

He wrote that if a franchise quarterback left in the middle of a game because he was tired, the "immediate response" would be that the team has "no chance."

"And to the surprise of nobody.. that was the response by everybody who’s ever played/coached the game before but.. Colts blogs and fans who have been covering the Colts since 2020 and more recent knew better than everybody… Started personally attacking me and trying to kick me out of town," McAfee continued.

BAKER MAYFIELD'S 5 TOUCHDOWNS KEEP BUCS' PLAYOFF HOPES ALIVE IN WIN OVER PANTHERS

"When I said Joe Flacco gives us a better chance to win than AR immediately after the tap out.. I would’ve said whatever backup QB we had on the roster. That can’t be what the face of your team is doing.. just can’t be.. and to a bigger aspect of it all, somehow AR thought it was ok to do that. That’s a locker room issue.. that’s a culture issue.. thats an indicator of a loser attitude radiating thru a building that was built by greats.

"I have no idea how they fix it.. I don’t think it’s like a light switch. "Alright, we’re gonna become Pros now" but… maybe it is, but what do I know?

"Oh wait….. how this was all gonna work out. I knew that."

McAfee added that he wouldn’t be renewing his season tickets and hoped the team returned to its winning ways.

"As a multiple year season ticket holder (not renewing).. and someone who has actively, daily, attempted to be an additive to this beautiful city. I hope they become a good franchise again.. this city deserves it.. the OGs in the Colts building deserve it (equipment managers, trainers, ticketing, PR, sales).. and on the flip side the players/coaches in that building deserve whatever happens to them. Your unwarranted arrogance, laziness, and lack of professionalism has lead you to ANOTHER early vacation… which is probably what most of you entitled bums have been hoping for. 

"I don’t speak for the city.. and I don’t speak for all ex Colts players because I was only a punter.. nominated for the HOF 3 times now but nonetheless.. I speak from my own perspective.. I’ve never seen a group waste opportunities/talent/money more than this group."

McAfee was a two-time Pro Bowl punter with the Colts from 2009 to 2016.
