Peyton Manning had quite the NFL career as he managed to win a Super Bowl championship with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.

Widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in league history, Manning became a legend on the field and was a no-brainer for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

However, Manning also made a successful leap into broadcast and media where he and his brother Eli Manning have become well-known for their Monday Night Football simulcast called the “ManningCast.”

A popular figure both on and off the field, Manning has done well at every stop and is considered one of the most beloved figures in football.

His popularity with fans has been fun to watch and now he’s parlayed that success into another job as he is set to be part of the group on NBC that will host the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony, via Front Office Sports.

“Peyton Manning and Kelly Clarkson are joining Mike Tirico to host the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony,” Front Office Sports Today tweeted.

The 2024 Summer Olympics will take place in Paris, France and will feature a unique change for the opening night.

In Paris, instead of a stadium, all the athletes will be on boats that will float down the Seine river in front of thousands of spectators.

Manning, Clarkson, and Tirico make for a well-rounded trio as Manning can help provide some insight into the athlete mindset while Clarkson can give more of a fan’s perspective of the proceedings.

It should be a fun broadcast and another challenge for Manning, but if his previous work is any indication then he’ll be just fine in his new role.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
