Jimmy Kimmel Live
Peyton Manning was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night where he talked about life after the NFL (below), and he revealed what he loves and hates the most about Fantasy Football fans.

After that clip above, Peyton went on to discuss life after the NFL. He won the ‘perfect attendance’ award at his local gym, and he talked about how he joined a gym to get out of the house…They also joked about how Peyton misses showering with teammates:
