Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback, new Hall of Famer and flag football coach Peyton Manning went on Bill Simmons' podcast on The Ringer.
Among the highlights: The Patriots were one reason he signed with the Broncos.
Manning had to leave the Colts after missing the 2010 season due to a neck injury because of the team's salary cap situation and wasn't prepared for one of the reasons he chose the Broncos.
"I remember talking with the 49ers, talking with Seattle and talking to the Cardinals, and the whole recurring theme in my mind, I'm just an AFC guy," Manning told Simmons.
