Magic Johnson tries to recruit Peyton Manning to be a Ram

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Forget the weather and the lifestyle, the Los Angeles Rams' best recruiting tool might be a little bit of Magic.

On Wednesday night's edition of "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon," legendary Laker Magic Johnson attempted to pitch Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning on becoming a member of the Rams in 2016.

"I tried to talk somebody out of retirement and come to the Rams," Johnson said, pointing to Manning and laughing. "I said, 'Man, if you play again, come to the Rams.' I was working on him backstage.
