2023 marks the third year of the beloved “ManningCast” program, featuring the two former legendary NFL quarterbacks. Peyton played in the NFL from 1998 to 2015 (with the Indianapolis Colts from 1998 to 2011 and with the Denver Broncos from 2012 to 2016) before retiring as a two-time Super Bowl champion and five-time league MVP.
Younger brother Eli spent his entire career with the New York Giants, which spanned from 2004 to 2019. He led the G-Men to Super Bowl championships in the 2007 and 2011 seasons, with both big game victories coming against the dynastic New England Patriots.
Fitzpatrick was a journeyman NFL quarterback who retired after the 2021 season, having missed most of the year with a hip injury. McEnroe won seven Grand Slam singles, with four coming at the US Open (1979, 1980, 1981 and 1984) to go along with three Wimbledon victories (1981, 1983 and 1984).
