This is the most Peyton Manning thing ever: Before appearing on David Letterman, Peyton Manning studied tapes of the show.

Dan Pompei from Sports On Earth wrote an article titled “Inside Manning.” In the story, an anecdote about Manning and Letterman appears:

Manning was selected to appear on David Letterman’s show because of his achievements as a scholar-athlete, and he handled the talk show host’s smart-aleck one-liners like a seasoned politician. Manning later acknowledged studying tapes of Letterman prior to his appearance.”

Maybe Manning wanted to study tapes of Letterman so he could ace the show. Or, maybe Manning studied tapes of the show in order to find out if his foul language would be tolerated.
