There were quite a few years that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were rivals, competing each season for the AFC crown. But you knew they shared a mutual respect. Now, they are friends. Which likely gave way for Peyton Manning to joke around a bit during his appearance on SNL's Weekend Update this past Saturday. And honestly, whether you still feel a rivalry toward the retired QB or not, you have to appreciate his sense of  humor.

"If it were me, I probably would retire if it gave me more time to watch Emily in Paris." There's your punchline.

But you have to watch the lead-up to the punchline and appreciate every moment of Peyton's performance. It's the quarterback sneak, and he's the master.
