Peyton Manning takes hilarious shot at New England Patriots during ‘Monday Night Football’

The New England Patriots will never live down spygate.
During the ManningCast of Monday night’s Detroit-Green Bay game, Peyton Manning joked that Green Bay must have heard his Friday conversation with Eli Manning as the Packers were following their suggested game plan of emphasizing the running game.
“I think our conversation was bugged – like the Patriots used to do,” Peyton said.
Eli brought up that the Patriots practiced at the facility of the Indianapolis Colts, Peyton’s former team, in preparation for a Super Bowl in Indianapolis against Eli’s New York Giants. Peyton shared his strategy for avoiding any New England bugs in the Colts’ locker room.
“Every time I played against New England, I used to go and talk to my receivers in the shower, in the far corner,” Peyton said. “I’m like ‘Don’t talk about a play next to my locker because I know it’s bugged. I know it’s got a hot mic in there.’
“We’re in the shower – very strange to see 7 guys hanging out back there in the shower. Take all precautions out there…”
It’s safe to say the ManningCast isn’t a one-week wonder.
