Thread: Peyton Manning inducted into Colorado Sports Hall of Fame

DENVER — A gold jacket is no doubt coming soon for Peyton Manning, but on Wednesday, his induction into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame was more than enough.

“I am honored and humbled to be included in this year’s class of inductees into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame,” Manning said during his induction speech. “I’ve learned a lot about the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame over the years, and I’ve previously attended this banquet as an Athlete of the Year winner. This is certainly a first-class event and a first-class organization.”

Manning, who was recognized alongside five other inductees Wednesday night, joins an impressive group that includes many former Broncos players and members of the organization.

Several of those people — including John Elway, Steve Atwater, Rick Upchurch and Billy Thompson — were on the dais on Wednesday as Manning accepted his award and delivered his remarks.

DENVER – Before his interview with 9NEWS, Peyton Manning was flipping through the photos on his cellphone.

Someone from his old Indianapolis Colts days sent him a photo of a T-shirt that had the team taking Ryan Leaf with their No. 1 overall draft pick.

That T-shirt was made up so the T-shirt company wouldn’t lead out the Colts’ selection. Two T-shirts were made. One was the dummy T-shirt of Leaf.

One was of Manning, who was the choice 20 years ago Wednesday in the 1998 NFL Draft. Who would have thought that exactly 20 years after he entered the league, Manning would be going into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame? Manning headlined a group of inductees during the induction ceremonies Wednesday night at the Hilton Denver City Center hotel.
