Former NFL stars Peyton Manning and his brother Eli Manning are creating ripples with their podcast, ManningCast. They recently hosted UFC President Dana White on their podcast. Dana White is a huge Tom Brady fan, and that apparently was enough for the Manning brothers to invite him on their show. While Tom Brady helped Tampa Bay Buccaneers win against Saint New Orleans in a tight game, White shared an Instagram story tagging Peyton Manning. The Instagram story was a picture of the Buccaneers’ superstar quarterback, Tom Brady, and a goat emoji. The story came after the hosts roasted White for his football knowledge.

Dana White was invited to the ManningCast On 5th December during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs New Orleans Saints match. The competitive game went down to the wire, and it took some Tom Brady magic for the Buccaneers to score a last-minute comeback win.
