Former President Barack Obama appeared on “Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli” – aka the ManningCast – on ESPN2 to help the brothers poke fun at each other, implore viewers to vote and talk about his beloved Bears.

The first-quarter appearance was a year in the making. Peyton broached the idea with Obama while playing golf together at The Riviera Country Club in California. With the Bears playing the Patriots on Monday, it was a natural fit.

Obama, who made Chicago his adopted home, hasn’t been shy about his allegiance to the Bears.
