Peyton Manning Discusses Idea of Becoming NFL Commissioner - Sports Illustrated

Peyton gonna Peyt. He is humble in front of a camera or mic, but everyone knows he knows football as well as just about anyone.

 

[IndianaVol]

Thing I like about Peyton is he is very self-aware.
Being NFL commissioner isn't really about being a good coach or a good player, but you have to be a good business person.
He's aware enough to know that he lacks the business acumen part of it right now...let's revisit in a couple of years as he continues to grom his media businesses and such and it might be a different story.

But, is he woke enough?

 

[Adam Sandler]

Peyton is plenty of a businessman. What he’s not is a politician, and that’s really all the commissioner is.

For enough cash….they all are. Except Kanye. Hehe

 

[Stephen Gray]

I picture him as more an NFL sheriff than NFL commissioner.

Peyton might not have checked that the NFL commissioner's salary is almost $64M/year.

I know he's not hurting for cash but that's a lot of Nationwide commercials.

Who would want the job? It's a no- win job where both sides blame you , hate you, and criticize you. Who would want to referee between over paid prima donna players vs over paid billionaires ?

With a salary of 60+ mil, I'd say the answer to your question is "a whole lot of people".

And the commissioner only has to worry about how one side feels, and that's the people who pay his salary - the owners. As long as they keep making money, he can do no wrong.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

I can’t see Peyton as the commish. I can see him being a GM though.

 

[volfanhill]

Why would he want the job of being the owners public meat shield?

 

[Volador]

Dear Peyton

Keep coaching your boys, making commercials, goofing w/Eli and attending GameDays in Knoxville. We LOVE YOU and don't want to lose you to the dark side.

Sincerely
PM FAN

Peyton doesn’t want the criticism that comes with being a GM or coach.

Making good decisions would go a long way….and stop being woke to every disgruntled group out there.

He would move the Hall of Fame from Canton to OMAHA!
