Podcast appearances and mentions of Peyton Manning

Welcome back or welcome to THE PROCESS, a limited series within Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth, hosted by myself and Rhett Kleinschmidt. This series exists for one reason: to study how high performers actually live. Not what they post. Not what they say at a podium. What they do when nobody's clapping. The first 5 conversations delivered in powerful ways: Mark Jackson, Peyton Manning, Chris Fowler, Jared Goff, Dan Lanning and today, the final episide airs within this limited run.This conversation, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, takes us to Bloomington, Indiana. We go inside the head coaches office. Inside the mind of the man who built one of the most relentless, standards-driven programs in America.Curt Cignetti. Indiana and Coach Cignetti are coming off a season that ended with hardware and history. Awards. Trophies. Headlines. The whole thing.And the first thing he made clear was also the most revealing.Inside the building, it is already time to start over.While the outside world is still celebrating, he is in development mode. New faces, teaching standards, sharpening the details, preparing for spring ball. The tone is not nostalgic. It is not sentimental. It is focused and the message is simple: what happened is real, and it is over.What Rhett and I loved most is that our conversation was not a performance from Coach Cignetti. It is who he is.The deeper we went, the more the through-line showed itself. His approach does not change because the circumstances do. Big game, small game, championship, rebuilding year—it's all the same. The Process stays steady, but the improvement never stops. Coach Cignetti is always refining how his staff teaches, how they spend time, how they build schematically, how they communicate. That mindset shows up in how he evaluates players too. We have all heard his phrase production over potential and this conversation gave it real teeth.Yes, the portal makes evaluation easier in some ways—you have a body of work. You can see consistency. You can see how a player performed against real competition over multiple seasons. But he talked about something that matters more than highlight tape.Fit.When you sit across from a player, you learn a lot fast. How they carry themselves. How they talk. How they listen. First impressions are not perfect, but they are meaningful. Then comes the research. The calls. The trusted recommendations. The quiet intel. The stuff that never gets posted.He also got specific about what he looks for physically too, beyond the high school combine stats. * Flexibility in the lower half. The ability to stop, start, redirect, generate power. It is detailed. It is intentional. And it is consistent.* But toughness is still number one.Not the cartoon version. Real toughness. Day-to-day accountability. The willingness to work. The ability to be coached. The resilience to keep growing when it is hard, when it's boring. What stood out most: even with more doors opening after a historic season, the standard does not bend.Most of us would imagine that there is a temptation after winning to widen the net, to take a few more chances, to rationalize why a guy might be worth it. Coach Cignetti made it clear that is how you quietly change the standard without admitting it. If you start accepting players below it, that becomes the new standard.And that is a reminder that goes well beyond football.Everything is earned. There are no promises. There are no guarantees. There are no shortcuts.We also spoke about pressure and how he manages it for his players and his staff.Coach Cignetti shared a story from early in his head coaching career that has become one of his quiet tools. In the tensest moments, when the game is tight and everything feels heavy, he will drop a simple line that changes the temperature. It is a reminder that the players are alive in the moment, not trapped by it. It is pressure relief and recalibration in one breath.With his staff, he is big on consistent messaging. He will step into a staff meeting and deliver one short, specific message. One or two things he believes the team must embody right now. Then he trusts his coaches to carry it. He trusts the message to trickle down and become action.He does not need to touch everything to control everything.That trust, built over time, is part of why the standard holds. And if something is off, he will step in and rattle chains. Not because he is emotional. Because he is protective of the level.The conversation closed where so many great ones do: family.I asked about his father, about adversity, about the moments that shape leaders before they ever wear the headset. He talked about his dad as a fighter. Competitive. Disciplined. Tough. A man with a relentless work ethic who never met a challenge he did not believe he could overcome.Those traits did not just stay in the family. They got handed down into the program.That might be the real story of why Indiana has been able to rise and sustain. Not just scheme. Not just recruiting. Not just facilities. Its identity. Its standard. The daily choice to do it the right way, even when nobody is watching.Coach Cignetti said he is proud of the team they had. Proud of the leaders. Proud of the closeness. And he made the point that matters most—whether you are building a program, a company, or a family:* You can win games, but you do not win big or win consistently if you are not doing it the right way. If you are helping people become the best they can be, football will carry them now, and it will carry them later when football ends.Then Rhett and I stayed in The Afterglow for a few minutes, because these conversations always leak into real life.We talked about standards at home. Non-negotiables. The idea that if you want your kids to live with discipline, you have to model it. If you want a standard, you have to set one, and then you have to live it. Nobody keeps you more honest than your kids.That might be the best accountability system on earth.So here is the takeaway I am sitting with today:Dig into your philosophy, your values, what matters most to you and your circle. And compete to keep the standard. Then attack the details, but do not attach to the outcome. Rather, and maybe even ironic, stay connected to The Process…Thanks for coming along for this ride with Rhett and me, as it's been a blast.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Were the Colorado Rockies used as a confidence booster/slump buster for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic? Connery thinks so. Stefon Diggs was released by the New England Patriots - maybe because he (allegedly) strangles people. California State University, Bakersfield hired a basketball coach, who was also a pimp. Mike Evans of 104.3 The Fan (Denversports.com) said Gabe Landeskog is a giant disappointment. Was he right or wrong? And how does Peyton Manning fit into this conversation? Will the Denver Broncos trade away Jarrett Stidham? Apparently there's several teams that want him. And would the Broncos be fine with JK Dobbins as their running back, again?

Two of the best defensive players of their era, Richard Sherman and T.J. Ward, finally go head-to-head on one of the biggest questions in NFL history: Who had the best defense—the 2013 Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom or the 2015 Denver Broncos’ No Fly Zone? Sherm and T.J. break it all down, position by position. From Seattle’s legendary secondary with Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor to Denver’s stacked D led by Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, they cover turnovers, sacks, offensive support, and who really had the tougher path to the Super Bowl.It gets real as both All-Pros passionately defend their squads. Sherman argues the Legion of Boom took over the league with insane takeaways and football IQ, while Ward makes the case for the No Fly Zone’s relentless pass rush and lock-down coverage. They even dig into that unforgettable Super Bowl vs. Peyton Manning and how their defenses matched up against elite QBs like Drew Brees and Cam Newton.So, what do you think—Legion of Boom or No Fly Zone?

This episode of The Richard Sherman Podcast dives headfirst into one of the biggest defensive arguments of the modern NFL era: the 2013 Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom vs. the 2015 Denver Broncos’ No Fly Zone. Sherm gives respect to Von Miller, Aqib Talib, Chris Harris Jr., DeMarcus Ware, and the dominant Broncos Super Bowl defense — but then breaks down, stat by stat and tape by tape, why he believes Seattle’s defense wasn’t just better… it wasn’t even close. From interceptions and passing yards allowed to playoff performances and Super Bowl opponents, Sherman explains how the Seahawks shut down one of the greatest offenses in NFL history and why turnovers, intelligence, and scheme made the Legion of Boom historic. He also clears up the man-coverage vs. zone-coverage myth and explains how Seattle’s communication, football IQ, and depth separated them from every defense of the era. Plus, Sherman discusses:- Why turnovers matter more than style points- Peyton Manning’s historic 2013 offense versus Cam Newton’s MVP season- How Seattle’s scheme influenced Denver’s roster build- Why modern NFL defenses rarely stick to heavy man coverage- The philosophy behind the Legion of Boom’s four-season dominance Hit subscribe and turn on notifications — we’re dropping new content all offseason, including news, analysis, and breakdowns of your favorite teams and players.

This week, Jess & Karli share a behind-the-scenes look at their whirlwind Super Bowl weekend in San Francisco-recorded straight from their hotel lobby. What started as a trip booked with no plan, no credentials, and no connections- quickly turned into a lesson in trusting their craft, adapting in real time, and creating opportunity where none existed.They reflect on plans coming together and falling apart mid-flight, navigating uncertainty with poise and confidence, and showing up professionally in rooms they were never guaranteed access to. From the energy of Radio Row to meaningful interviews with Peyton Manning, George Kittle, Gary Vee, Carmelo Anthony, and Jaxson Dart, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really took to break into major media moments.The conversation also touches on the emotional highlights of the weekend, including hosting an intimate Only Human Pilates event, and Karli getting a surprise interview with her childhood idols.

got a good feeling about this one

Earlier this week, Pennsylvania’s resident rodent Punxatawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter.  According to my calendar, we were already slated for six more weeks of winter prior to the official arrival of spring! For sports fans, there are just a few days left until the end of traditional football season.  We’ll discuss the big game coming up on Sunday in just a bit. Pro football (like the other major sports) has slowly stretched-out its regular season.  The NFL went from 14 games to 16 back in 1978.  A 17th regular season game became a reality after the franchise owners wisely trimmed the pre-season from a ludicrously long four games down to three in 2021. It isn’t a secret that the NFL owners now want to expand to an 18th regular season game in a few years. They are reportedly offering to cut the preseason from three meaningless games to two.  However, the NFL has telegraphed a desire to have each of the league’s 32 teams play one international game per year after expanding to 18 games. The NFL doesn’t do anything without a keen eye on profits.  They have calculated the value of international television rights and global merchandising.  It apparently makes financial sense. On Thursday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees named to the NFL Hall-of-Fame! Saints fans are rejoicing today knowing that the greatest player in franchise history was voted into the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame Thursday in his first year of eligibility. Drew Brees received only two major college scholarship offers coming out of high school in Austin, Texas.  After three terrific seasons as the starting quarterback at Purdue, Brees also excelled in the classroom by earning a degree in Industrial Management. It’s hard to believe that the (cough) 6′ Drew Brees was not a first round NFL selection in 2001.  He was drafted on the first pick of the second round by the San Diego Chargers. Did you know that Drew Brees spent his first five NFL seasons playing for the Chargers? Fortunately for New Orleans Saints fans, Drew Brees was acquired by Louisiana’s Black and Gold team in 2006.  His arrival in the Crescent City coincided with the hiring of offensive-minded first-year head coach Sean Payton. The Saints’ new dynamic duo provided a much-needed shot of optimism into the region following the devastation caused by 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints eventually won the Saints’ first and only Super Bowl title on February 7, 2010 with a 31-17 win over Peyton Manning’s Indianapolis Colts. Has it really been 16 years since that game was played? Brees and the Saints should have earned a second Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 2018 season.  The NFC Championship game played in New Orleans featured the all-time worst “non-call” by NFL referees on a quite obvious pass interference penalty late in overtime.  The visiting Los Angeles Rams won 26-23 but lost to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots two weeks later in the NFL title game. After a 21-year NFL career, Drew Brees retired at the end of the 2020 season.  The Saints legend set numerous NFL passing records including his incredible 54-game streak of throwing at least one touchdown pass. Drew Brees was an intense leader on the football field, an inspiring community leader off the field and is a proud father of four children. He has invested in several business ventures following his retirement from pro football.  Brees also returned to television in 2025 to cover regional NFL games for FOX Sports. Only 1.5% of NFL players will ever be inducted into the Hall-of-Fame.   Drew Brees deserved this honor and was voted-in during his first year of eligibility! Why is there even Pro Bowl game anymore? I don’t know. The NFL’s Pro Bowl game was played on Tuesday night. If I had known about it, it wouldn’t have mattered. My wife and I were fixated on the final night of the Westminster Dog Show (won by Penny the incredlble Doberman Pinscher). The top canines provided more compelling viewing than the NFL’s cringeworthy post-season fare. Tuesday night’s NFL Pro Bowl drew an embarrassing 1.9 million viewers.  That is down from last year’s slightly-less embarrassing 4.7 million Pro Bowl viewers. Historically, the Pro Bowl game would pit the NFL’s most talented players from the teams which had been eliminated from playoff competition.  The game (played in full pads and helmets) was held from 1980 and for more than three decades in lovely Honolulu, Hawaii on the weekend prior to the NFL’s title game. That tropical setting was once considered a big enticement for players to participate and bring their families along for a week-long vacation.  Those of us watching on television at home could enjoy a mental warm-up watching football being played in the toasty sunshine featuring nearby beaches. Not anymore.  Football players who are making millions of dollars per year don’t seem to value a fully-paid vacation week in Hawaii like they once did. In 2023, the Pro Bowl morphed into today’s goofy assortment of skills challenges and a 7-on-7 flag football game.  The venue was also scaled down.  This year’s game was played on Tuesday night in a 4,000-seat convention center arena in San Francisco. In case you cared, the NFC All-Stars rallied for a (cough) thrilling 66-52 flag football win over the AFC All-Stars. Zzz. The NFL’s championship game kicks-off Sunday at 5:30 PM CST on NBC This year’s season finale pits the AFC’s New England Patriots against the NFC Seattle Seahawks. Before the 2025 NFL season kicked-off, the oddsmakers in Las Vegas had last year’s champion Philadelphia Eagles plus the AFC’s Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills as the most likely teams to reach the championship game. Seattle and New England were significantly further down that list. Both teams missed the playoffs after the 2024 season.  The Seahawks at least finished 10-7, but New England was a dismal 4-13 just one year ago. Only the 1999 St. Louis Rams had won just four games in a season (going 4-12) prior to returning the following year to win the NFL title.  Rams’ quarterback Kurt Warner’s led the “Greatest Show on Turf” to an NFL championship.   What caused such a terrific turnaround for this year’s New England Patriots? Last season’s 4-13 record by New England resulted in the team firing head coach Jerod Mayo.  Former Patriots’ linebacker Mike Vrabel was given the chance to coach his former team beginning this season. Adding a talented coach like Vrabel certainly helped, but it doesn’t fully explain the Patriots’ turnaround story this season. The coach would replace 13 of the 22 starting players from last season.  Every one of New England’s 11 NFL draft selections last spring made the cut and is still playing on the team as of this week.  Add several financially prudent free agent signings, and the New England Patriots entered this season with a new team and a winning attitude. Coach Vrabel wanted “tough” minded players as he evaluate players being drafted or signed via free agency. A three-time NFL champion as a linebacker, Mike Vrabel played for legendary coach Bill Belichick and alongside quarterback Tom Brady for several years.  He saw what type of mindset won titles in New England over the past quarter century. The Patriots steamrolled to a 14-3 record and won the AFC East title during the regular season.  They beat the Houston Texans 28-16 in the divisional round and downed the #1 playoff seed Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC championship to earn a title shot this week. Seattle Seahawks traded their Pro Bowl quarterback and still improved in 2025 Gino Smith had been Seattle’s starting quarterback for two seasons through the end of the 2024 campaign.  Smith had been named to the NFL’s Pro Bowl for two consecutive years. Surprisingly, the Seahawks traded Gino Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders during the offseason and were left without a starting quarterback. Seattle then hit the free agent jackpot by signing journeyman Sam Darnold to a three-year contract.  Darnold is playing for his fifth NFL team in eight seasons and struggled for his first six years in the league.  His breakout 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings helped Sam Darnold gain a more permanent home in Seattle. The Seahawks’ stingy defense was rated #1 in the NFL allowing just 17 points per game in leading Seattle to a sterling 14-3 regular season.  The Seattle offense also scored 28 points per game which was eighth best in the league. Coach Mike MacDonald was a successful high school football player who suffered a serious injury in his final game.  He attended the University of Georgia and didn’t play football. However, he started coaching a high school football team while still in college. A summa cum laude graduate in Finance, Mike MacDonald jumped into coaching upon graduating from college.  He would eventually become the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens.  The youthful 38-year old coach then accepted the head coaching job in Seattle two years ago. The Seahawks, like their head coach, play fundamentally sound football and rely on their top-rated defense to win games. You won’t find many familiar stars in this Sunday’s NFL title game Can you name the starting running backs for either Seattle or New England?  I can’t. America is going to get a chance to learn a lot about these two unheralded competitors and their coaches on Sunday night in Santa Clara, California. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots quietly did the weekly work to climb the standings and finish with identical 14-3 regular season marks. The two starting quarterbacks aren’t flashy but both passed for more than 4,000 yards in the regular season.  New England’s Drake Maye tossed 31 touchdowns but only had eight intercepted.  Seattle’s Sam Darnold had 25 touchdowns but was picked-off 14 times (third highest in the NFL this year). These two teams have identical season records, great defenses, and effective quarterbacks.  The biggest surprise to me is that New England is considered a 4 ½ point underdog in Sunday’s game. Enjoy watching those very expensive $8 million per 30-second commercials and, perhaps, the game itself! The post It’s Football Friday! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

John Elway. Joe Namath. Johnny Unitas. Peyton Manning. Look into the backstory of just about any star quarterback you've ever heard of, and you'll find either an overbearing father, or an absent one.  In honor of the Super Bowl and the men who play the biggest role in this game, author and ESPN senior writer Seth Wickersham joins Paternal to discuss why there's no cooler job title in America than quarterback, but each star's story often traces back to the influence of his father. He also discusses the challenges the sons of these star quarterbacks face in living up to the legacy of their dads, the perils of father/son relationships built on football, and why even Tom Brady struggled to be a quarterback and a father at the same time. Wickersham's latest book, American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback, is available now wherever you buy books.

Mike and Jesse are back to break down the latest movement in the sports card market as we head toward the Super Bowl. First, Jesse shares a "cautionary tale" involving a massive rip of Marvel cards and the hunt for a Hugh Jackman auto. Then, the guys look at the disrespect in the NFL market, specifically comparing Sam Darnold's prices to Josh Allen's. Despite a stellar season and being the NFC Champ, Darnold's cards are a fraction of the price of many other quarterbacks. Are collectors missing the window? They also discuss the "dirt cheap" pricing on Cooper Kupp and the heating-up market for Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Later, they discuss the massive PSA Spotlight Auction starting this week and running through February 7 featuring cards directly from the personal collections of legends like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Eli Manning. They analyze the value of inscription cards, seeing exactly what Tom Brady wrote on his own rookie card, and debate if provenance from a player's own collection is the new grail for collectors. There are also plenty of other cards in the auction including a special Mewtwo Pokemon card. The auction's final hour will be broadcast LIVE on the SCN eBay Live channel. Finally, they tackle the Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub and answer your mailbag questions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike also welcomes Justin Wickizer, the Director of PSA Marketplace, to discuss the highly anticipated PSA Spotlight Auction launching January 28th, which features items from the personal collections of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Eli Manning. A major highlight of the auction is a unique Eli Manning card featuring a hand-drawn diagram of the Xs and Os from the legendary "Helmet Catch" play, a piece Justin describes as a true one-of-one experience for collectors. Justin also explains the strategic advantages of the PSA Vault, emphasizing how its integration with eBay allows hobbyists to instantly capitalize on "market moments" and player performances. As the crew prepares for Super Bowl LX in San Francisco, they detail their plans for a massive live event on February 7th featuring high-end wax rips and live auction closings for the Manning and TB12 collections.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Concrete Genius Pod with Sauce Mackenzie.On this episode, Sauce opens with love and gratitude for the listeners, then dives headfirst into one of the most emotionally charged and honest NFL conversations you'll hear all season.We start with a moment of silence for the Buffalo Bills — arguably the most heartbreaking franchise in modern sports. From Scott Norwood to overtime losses, Buffalo's pain is generational. Sauce breaks down the latest collapse, why it hurt so bad, and why the Super Bowl window is never guaranteed.Then comes the real conversation.Sauce addresses the national media's obsession with Josh Allen — not to attack him, but to defend the truth. Josh Allen is talented. He's passionate. He's elite. But why does the media refuse to hold him accountable the same way they do other quarterbacks?Why are turnovers excused for Josh Allen but magnified for Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts?Why was Cam Newton crucified for one Super Bowl moment while Josh Allen is protected from criticism after multiple costly mistakes?Sauce draws historical comparisons to Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Brett Favre, reminding listeners that greatness requires accountability — not excuses.From media hypocrisy to racial bias in sports narratives, from Buffalo's organizational questions to what real leadership and criticism should look like, this episode is raw, uncomfortable, and necessary.Sauce also:Questions whether Buffalo needs organizational changeBreaks down why babying Josh Allen actually hurts his growthDiscusses playoff pressure, fan culture, and entitlementPredicts upcoming playoff outcomesBreaks down the Bears vs Rams matchup and why momentum mattersExplains why Seattle's defense is championship-levelTalks cold-weather football, travel fatigue, and real situational analysisThis isn't hate.This is honesty.
