Not everyone has the good fortune of attending the 2024 Paris Olympics in person, which is why you need a good broadcasting crew to help bring the Olympics home to millions watching from far away.
This year’s all-star broadcast team featured a lot of talent, from Snoop Dogg to Peyton Manning to Michael Phelps, Mike Tirico to Kelly Clarkson.
Tirico is NBC’s Sunday Night Football play-by-play announcer, so that was an easy decision to make.
Kelly Clarkson was making her NBC Olympics debut to host Opening Ceremony coverage alongside Tirico and Peyton Manning.
Manning was also making his debut. The Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion brought his witty humor to millions around the globe.
Unfortunately and possibly fortunately, many had differing opinions of the all-star cast, and many reactions involved the former quarterback, especially about his wristband that served as a cheat sheet that provided one of the more hilarious moments of the day.
The reaction to Peyton Manning’s coverage varied on social media:
The Hall of Fame quarterback obviously never played in the Olympics, so many found it rather strange to see him on coverage.
Peyton Manning Trolled Tom Brady and Bill Belichick at the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony
Peyton Manning has been retired from the NFL for over a decade, and the heated rivalries he once had with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have turned into playful jokes now that everybody is out of the league.
On Friday at the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris, Manning, while commentating for NBC, couldn’t help but throw a slight jab at Brady and Belichick.
It happened as Tirico was talking about the suspension of the Canadian soccer coach for a drone scandal and filming practices.
That was just an easy layup for Manning as he chimed in, “A little Spygate in soccer here in the Olympics,” Manning joked.
“Spygate” resulted in several fines for the Patriots and the loss of a first-round draft pick in 2008.
