Peyton Manning's practice for the 'Kick of Destiny' is hilarious
Peyton Manning and his younger brother, Eli Manning, are set to face off in FanDuel's 'Kick of Destiny 3' event at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The brothers will compete to see who can be the first to convert a field goal during pregame ahead of the Super Bowl. FanDuel has already released two commercials promoting the showdown, and they have now shared behind-the-scenes footage of Peyton practicing for the event.
In the six-minute mockumentary, Peyton clearly exaggerates his preparation, stating on Day 4 that he went 100-of-100 on practice kicks. Notably, none of the kicks are actually shown. Check it out:
On Day 6 of the video, Manning says he missed a 72-yard attempt, otherwise going 199-of-200 on field goal attempts that day.
FanDuel also released a mock press conference featuring Peyton and Eli, with the latter saying he only attended the presser so he wouldn't be fined.
Here are several more segments from that press conference:

Prince William's longtime friend, who was the chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar, died from a heart attack on a polo field in Windsor, England, on June 12. He was 53.

Former Super Bowl champion predicts drama for Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf
Former Super Bowl champion predicts drama for Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf could have trouble in paradise before the end of the 2025 season — at least that's what former NFL defensive end Chris Long believes. Long, a two-time Super Bowl champion, recently appeared on The Rich Eisen Show and brought up Rodgers' infamous red line drama when discussing his pairing with Metcalf: 'When he was in New York — and I'm not taking a shot, but I don't love seeing stuff that should be worked out in the locker room, worked out on podcast,' Long said. 'Metcalf has not always been the most surgical route runner. You talk about if we end up in a situation where somebody's not on the right side of the 'red line', famously, infamously, I could see some stuff like that happening — and the growing pains being tough.' The situation that has Long worried stems back in Week 6 of the 2024 season, when then-Jets QB Rodgers criticized WR Mike Williams for running the wrong route — as he should've ran the 'red line.' Rodgers and Metcalf have been bonding heavily throughout the offseason so far — hopefully enough to prevent Long's worrisome prediction from coming to fruition.

Recent ranking gets to the heart of Jalen Hurts and Sirianni's bond
Most of you young Philadelphia Eagles fans will find this hard to believe, while some of the older die-hards can take a second and reminisce. Once upon a time, journalists were asked and encouraged to triple-check the facts before publishing a story. As you've probably figured out, we've ventured into a new era of sports reporting. Steering clear of rumors was often the rule of thumb in the days of yore. Now, reporting them isn't just welcomed. It's encouraged. The Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts era in Philadelphia has already given us enough stories to last a lifetime, but one of the best we've read came by way of a recent FOX Sports ranking. This description of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni might be the most accurate Eagles fans have seen in a long time It doesn't take much to stir the pot in a sports-crazed town like Philadelphia. Unsurprisingly to no one, when the Eagles aren't performing well, there is often more to talk about, but who would have thought? The Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts era has become one of the best (and most widely-discussed) eras of Birds football we have ever witnessed. Nick was the coach no one believed in. Jalen was the second-round quarterback that fans couldn't believe their favorite team had drafted that early and invested a high selection in. Fast forward to the present. Nick and Jalen have helped lead the Birds to two Super Bowl appearances during Coach Sirianni's first four seasons at the helm, and had the Kansas City Chiefs groundsman not been responsible for preparing the turf, Philadelphia would, without question, be 2-0 under Nick on football's grandest stage. But, wait... More rumors... We've been bombarded with theories that detail disharmony between Coach and QB1. Thank Heaven for a recent take by FOX Sports' Henry McKenna. He recently ranked the NFL's best marriages between quarterbacks and their respective teams. The only thing better than Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' top-five ranking is the explanation of the dynamic between the star signal-caller and the man who patrols the sideline. "Opposites attract. Hurts is the calmest, chillest, most understated superstar in the NFL. Nick Sirianni is a ball of energy and emotion. And they don't always seem to like each other, but they love the same things and that's how they keep their love alive. I think it's because Howie Roseman lives in the space between the two guys, linking Sirianni and Hurts with personnel that suits both of them. Because you know … Philly also has Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, among others. It's one big family, fitting for the City of Brotherly Love." Finally! Someone got it right. Now, McKenna's list isn't perfect. Rankings that find any reason to place Baker Mayfield ahead of Jalen Hurts have grown tired. That is, however, another story for another day. Coach Sirianni and Jalen Hurts have come a long way since that speech about flowers and fertilizer. They haven't lost very often, and honestly, most wouldn't mind if Nick had another speech like that one in him somewhere. Two people couldn't be any more different. Jalen is cool. Nick runs hot. Jalen is reserved. Nick is emotional. Jalen is a southern kid. Nick was born in Jamestown, New York. But, they're both Eagles through and through. That's what ties them together. They have a lot of wins left in them, and something tells us they'll keep each other on their toes and focused.
