Peyton Manning mentioned, “I’m not qualified in my opinion. I’ve seen Roger Goodell was the commissioner of the first Super Bowl that he had the Colts beat the Bears. I had this great picture of Roger and Jim Nantz up there on stage. Great moment. Roger looks a lot younger back in 2007 than he does now, and it hasn’t been that long ago. So he’s done a heck of a job.”

“I’m not sure anybody wants to follow Roger Goodell as commissioner. It’s like following John Wooden at UCLA. I mean, the bar has been set high. Roger takes criticism, certainly. But I think he’s been great for the game. That’s just not something on my radar specifically, because I don’t think I’m qualified to do it,” He added.

The Sheriff could be a solid fit for Commissioner. However, he may not change his current role as a media tycoon. Manning may not leave the booth soon.

Peyton Manning talks about Jeff Saturday’s biggest challenge after becoming Colts’ Interim HC

In a shocking turn of events, the Colts fired HC Frank Reich after an unfathomable run this year. The move came after Indy’s loss to New England. It led to them hiring Jeff Saturday as the team’s Interim HC. As the news caught more attention, Peyton Manning addressed Saturday’s new role and what would be the challenges for him.

Manning stated he was shocked, but it would be a deliberate challenge. But Saturday was the supreme teammate. Peydirt added the Colts’ new coach must depend on these players to ease him in and secure a victory in Indianapolis. A win can sort of resolve a lot of issues. Hopefully, he’ll be able to get in and support the Colts to turn things around.
