Danielson’s outfit was an obvious reference to Manning’s recent ad campaign for DirecTV. Manning, who retired in March, has been depicted wearing a bathrobe while trying to cope with not playing football on Sundays in several commercials.
Beyond jokes from Manning and colleague Verne Lundquist, Danielson was mocked by several Twitter users.

Can Gary Danielson's wife call him home and we'll let Verne and Peyton finish this one off?

Perhaps Danielson understood Manning’s recent transition as a long-time retired former NFL quarterback in his own right.
