Peyton Manning got to hold the NFL all-time passing yard record for 1,000 days, and on Monday night that came to an end. Manning graciously prepared a congratulations video for Drew Brees to commemorate the occasion and it’s magic.
Peyton Manning congratulated Drew Brees on breaking his record in the best way
This was great.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Manning has proven a knack for comedy in the past, still being one of the best athlete hosts of Saturday Night Live of all time — but this was pretty great. Just a dude with his tomatoes, trying to make a wedge salad for his family before having to multitask to congratulate someone on crushing his hopes, dream, and record.
This video is a lesson in duality. Come for Manning’s jokes, stay to see this old photo of Manning and Brees.
Bravo, Peyton, and congrats Drew!
