Peyton Manning's voice cracked as he reminisced about his 18-year NFL career during Monday's retirement announcement in Englewood, Colo. He also used his wit to break the ice.
He noted that he still owns the NFL record for 28 interceptions as a rookie and says, "Every year I pull for a rookie to break that record."
He said little brother Eli might have broken it had he started all 16 games his rookie year.
