Peyton Manning has represented one animal during his professional football career. He played and won a Super Bowl for the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos respectively.
However, his post-playing days have seen the 14-time Pro Bowler take interesting turns in life. One of those twists and turns involved being dunked in stock to become a Chicago Bears superfan for his TV show.
ESPN released a minute-and-a-half clip of the hilarious moment for his show, Peyton's Places:
Peyton Manning: "PACKERS SUCK!"
In the new episode of "Peyton's Places," the Bears baptize a new fan 😂

It was a bizarre yet entertaining sight. Manning was donning a Walter Payton jersey. Two short, stocky superfans flanked the future Hall Of Famer and asked him to make a vow to commit to the Chicago Bears lifestyle.
Yahoo! Sports' Michael Allardyce had the transcript of the hilarious questions that were part of a love letter to Bears fans everywhere:
“Peyton the lesser, do you believe in Halas, the Papa Bear almighty,” the superfans recite. “And in Iron Mike Ditka, his only son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and suffered under Mike McCaskey… “Who descended into the hell that is Dallas but rose again and ascended into heaven, otherwise known as a certain city where the meat stuff the streets, Chicago, IL?”
“Do you believe in beers before noon, the holy sweetness and brats everlasting?”
Manning said yes to these questions without hesitation, and the superfans dunked his head into a bucket of beef stock. He emerged from the bucket with a Bears cap, aviators, and a mustache. He then went on to exclaim, “Pacers suck!”
Everyone knows that Manning will always and forever be an Indianapolis and Denver man. However, it is hilarious to see one of the best passers to ever grace the field play it up for the camera and entertain with the humor that got a lot of athletes at the ESPYS guffawing.
Well, maybe except for Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.
