Peyton Manning agrees to give Snoop Dogg a Papa John's discount
Snoop Dogg was on hand for the Denver Broncos' final media availability of the week Thursday as a correspondent for "The Rich Eisen Show," and came armed with some hard-hitting questions for Peyton Manning.
No, the rapper didn't ask Manning about his potential retirement or what it will take to defeat the Carolina Panthers.
"Peyton, Snoop Dogg from the Rich Eisen Show," he said. "First of all, can I get a 50 percent discount on Papa John's pizzas when I'm in the state of Colorado?"
Manning didn't hesitate: "Absolutely, absolutely."
Snoop followed that question up by asking Manning if he's getting advice from dad Archie and brother Eli leading up to Super Bowl 50.
"Well, Snoop, I've always enjoyed my conversations with my dad (Archie) and (brother and New York Giants quarterback) Eli as far as things that have to do with the NFL," Manning said. "I had dinner with Eli the other night and he and I talked about a lot of things, but certainly he played against these guys (the Panthers) earlier in the year, and we've talked about the practice routine and kind of the setup. So he's great to bounce ideas off of.
"My dad's always been a great sounding board for me throughout my lifetime. And so I'm very grateful to have both those guys that have played in the NFL ... to be able to talk to, so I feel very fortunate."
