Peyton Manning Emotional Retirement Speech [FULL REMARKS] 

I can't be the only one who cried watching

"...And lastly, I would like to say, better ingredients, better pizza, (sniff) Papa Johns, and papa bless football." (walks away)

“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”

"God bless football" Those should be the final words of every speech ever.

18:02 long video, That's 18 for Peyton, and 02 for SB Rings.

Aww, no more Peyton vs Brady games, damn, that's actually pretty disappointing.

came back to this after hearing about DT sadly passing just to hear one of the legends speak about him, RIP 🕊

I'm not even a Colt or Broncos fan, and I'm about to cry

It's a strange feeling seeing your childhood heroes retire from sports they love and become another name of the list of hall of fame greats. For 18 years I've watched Peyton Manning play football, and he never ceased to amaze me both with his professionalism on and off the football field. Thank you for everything, including that nation-wide jingle that always gets stuck in my head every time it airs on TV. Truly an NFL legend and a class act.

Whos cutting the onions?

"18 is a good number"-Jared Fogle clearly disagrees Peyton

Peyton is unarguably one of the best quarterbacks of all time, and ran the NFL's best and most consistent offense for almost his entire career. I will miss watching Peyton play, every Sunday he made the game so fun to watch, dismantling football's best defenses. You will be missed #18

As a Chargers fan enduring what was a horrible 2015 season, I was feeling pretty good about the Jan. 3 game against Denver. With Osweiler at quarterback, my Bolts were leading in the third quarter. It meant only pride to us in a sad season that might have been our last in San Diego, but it meant something to playoff-headed Denver. When Manning put on his helmet in the third quarter, the collective reaction among Bolts fans was 'uh-oh.' You could see it on his face; you could see it in the way he took charge. The boss was back. We list, 20-27. But there was no doubt that the win was due to Manning. He was class then -- and class when he called out in tribute all the players he battled over the years -- including Chargers legend Junior Seau. Got nothing but love for you, Peyton. Best of luck and blue skies ahead.

What a way to end your career. Come back from injury just in time for the playoffs, make it to the 50th Super Bowl, and win the 50th Super Bowl. He went out a champion, even though he was already a champion. God bless you Peyton and thank you for all the memories you have given us from the past 18 years. Classiest pro athlete the world has ever seen. #18Forever - Packers Fan

My favorite verse that Peyton references:; "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 timothy . What a guy!

Anyone watch this after Eli's retirement speech?

Peyton Manning deserves a better video than this stuttering mess

I'm a Patriots fan, and I'm really gonna miss Manning. The league is not gonna be the same, and I'm glad that he won a Lombardi to end an amazing 18 year career. Father Time is undefeated, so this time was eventually gonna come. Top 3 QB of all time.

God bless Peyton Manning!

I'll always consider Peyton Manning to be the finest NFL QB of his generation. He saluted so many great players he played with and against, as well as coaches and support staff. He obviously is grateful to the fans. This was a moving speech, and I really like his ads during NFL pregame shows and during the games. His being in the games has been missed, but, thankfully, he's still there.

I have followed Payton for ever. I'm just a teenager but this man has changed tradition in my family. We always watch the games. Congrats on your last season. You won the Super Bowl for you 200th win. You will be missed. Thanks for the Memories.

You were always a class act Peyton from a Packers Fan. Thank you Peyton

I love anyone that works their ass off. Makes no excuses, gives their all and pulls no punches. I will miss you on the gridiron. Signed: Loyal Chiefs fan

What a fuckin speech. Leave it to Peyton to be an absolute class act from the beginning of his career to the end. What separates the legends from the all-star blue chip talent is the amount of modesty and humility that individual has.

The NFL won't be the same without Peyton. He's had such a positive effect on me my whole life, and I wish him a wonderful retirement

Respect to Peyton from a Pats Fan!

Born and raised a Patriots fan and even with the Brady/Manning rivalry I've never hated or disrespected Manning. Great quarterback, humble person and a classy guy. Ill definitely miss what he did for the league and getting ready to watch two of the best ever go at it.

R.I.P Omaha

My favorite qb. So much class. Peyton you will be sorely missed!

Excellent speech, can tell he's really appreciative of his career and is genuinely going to miss the game. He'll probably be in a broadcast booth or studio somewhere within a couple of years.

The cool thing about this is that the video is 18 minutes long and his number is 18 and he played for 18 years

What a great man you are and to have such honest and wonderful morals for young boys to have you to look up to. You are a special person in so many eyes. Good Luck Payton in your future life and God Bless Payton Manning. 🍀

As a Raven fans this guy was a thorn to us since 2004.When we had that strong 2006 season #1 defense 13-3 his colts beat us 15-6.hes beaten us 44-20 in 2007.31-3 in 2008.17-15 2009.2009 playoffs 3-20.hes had our number but this man has always made Ray lewis ,Ed reed,Terrell suggs,haloti ngata,and Chris Mcalister played on their toes. Im truly gonna miss him so much. Peyton manning is the greatest now he can go join the greats that he named.Thank you Peyton 1998 was an amazing year i was just turning only 7 but thank you for being in the league for so long 1998-2015 Greatest qb ever ! #18 #omaha #Hurry #Hurry

Tearsssss! Peyton was the first QB I enjoyed watching (and his brother of course!). I remember cheering for him as a Colt and I cheered for him as a Bronco. I'll miss watching him esp when he got matched up against Eli. Thank you for the wonderful memories Peyton!

Am I the only here after Andrew Luck’s retirement

If you unliked this video, you either don't like Peyton for some crazy reason or you're an idiot. Even if you don't like football, this is one of the most heartfelt and sincere retirement speeches there has been for an NFL player. Talking with this man and getting to run routes and catch passes with him at the Manning passing academy was a memory I will always cherish. Thank you Peyton for everything you've done and will do for the great game of football.

Coming from a die hard Brady fan, Peyton is awesome. I have nothing but respect for him and he’s definitely a top 3 QB all time 🐐

It's nice to see him go out on a high note. We'll miss ya 18.

Best retirement speech ever. Such a great sense of humor and so humble. We love you Peyton. Thank you for 4 years of joy, love and excitement with Denver. The NFL and Bronco fans miss you more than you will ever know. You were the best. Much respect to you Mr. Manning! What a wonderful 18 years you gave us all!! GOAT...

Manning is an icon. love him.

Came back here after watching Eli’s retirement speech 🥺

Why Peyton sounding like forest gump

Growing up in Indianapolis and watching Peyton on Sundays are some of the greatest memories of my childhood. No matter as I aged, life changed, priorities mounted, every Sunday I made time to watch Peyton play. I come back to this speech all the time when I need that lift of inspiration in my life and career. God bless this man and the impact he's had on the game and fans like me across the world. Cheers to a childhood hero and and inspiration- this speech brings me to tears every time.

Peyton is a player respected by just about everyone. I loved watching him growing up. He was very talented but he is also a good guy. Miss you Peyton. Enjoy your retirement.

Way to go Peyton! Good luck with your future.

He had me in tears. I have so much love, admiration, and respect for him. I will always be his fan

#PeytonManningForPresident Lol think about it. If we were on the brink of nuclear war, Peyton would whip out the big red button and be like "Manning drops back, fakes the draw to Obama, looks left, sees his target and throws a bomb deep downfield...ISIS CAUGHT IT IN THE CORNER OF THE ENDZONE, TOUCHDOWN AMERICA!!"

Long live Peyton Manning!!! Thanks for the 18 years you've "blessed" us with! May God continue to bless and keep you and your family!

Wow. That lady at the end bringing up something from 20 years back that people alleged he did? That seems a bit low for this scenario. Surprised she didn't ask about the HGH.

wow my idol, he had a great 18 years and he is the best, every one had doubt in you. This year every one loved cam newton, but i had 100% love for you Peyton, YOU ARE THE BEST! Sheriff!

1:33 The quote "18 is a good number..." will always stick with me. Shows how humble you can be in the game of football.

tremendous honor watching Peyton play, watching him from my mid teens to my mid 30s...Thank You Peyton for your dedication to the game.

Peyton Manning retirement from pro football there is just 4 words I have to say to him. Borrowing from the great Bob Hope, here are those 4 words Peyton:"Thanks for the memoires"

Always respected Peyton...This is his time...

I’m a Ravens fan but ultimately a Football fan. I have Nothing but respect and admiration for the great Peyton Manning. He’s the epitome of a true gentleman and I don’t know anyone who hates him. You can tell he truly lives, breaths and loves Football. Football misses you.

This speech was iconic, classic, and admirable. Im going to miss Peyton, he helped my colts become champions, and he was one of the reasons that I love football today. The race is over, Manning. Thank you.

Watched this again and cried again. I cried because he was so great and classy, and also because I realized I'd gone a whole season with no Peyton Manning

Sad day for football but congratulations to Mr. Manning on a great career and I thank him for his service as a role model for the NFL just when they needed one the most. The league owes him a debt of gratitude.

I have been analyzing Peyton Manning's retirement speech for almost 4 months now for a college English course. Every time I watch this video I cry. Every. Single. Time.

"I'll miss that handshake with Tom brady" fuck even as a pats fan I'm gonna miss that too. truly the end of the best rivalry of this sport in my life. best of luck in future endeavors Payton.

I wish Peyton would come back to the Broncos and help us flipping coach..

I used to hate this guy being a pats fan.... his broncos teams always seemed to beat the pats in AFC championships. And not to mention his legendary colts teams. Peyton manning is truly one of the greats it was amazing and awesome to watch Peyton manning. Even if he opened a can of whoop ass on us many times...OMAHA SET HIKE!!! The fans of Foxborough miss you too💔💔💙🧡

He's an incredible moving, inspiring leader. He's also humble. Just that rare combination along with a pristine work ethic that will set teammate's motivations a blaze for each game. Not just one player, but an entire team. For an entire season. That's why he was so successful. And why you can only compare a few other players in the history of football like him.

1 more year and he will be in the HOF, can't wait for that speech!

As a lifetime Patriots fan all I have to say is "God damn I'm gonna miss this guy". There's nothing more entertaining than a Brady Vs. Manning game. Now that there's not going to be anymore is pretty sad. Peyton's one of the greatest QB's to step on a field and the game will never be the same without him. I wish him luck in everything after this.

I'm a Packers fan and I was pretty upset about this

I‘ve been a football fan since the 1960s. Following Peyton’s career has been a very special treat. For the past few years I had been telling my Son to enjoy watching him play because there will likely never be another one like him.

Even in 2021, it hits different.

The best to ever play the game. Changing the world of football today and tomorrow. Will be sorely missed.

I've only cried a few times in my life and this is one of the times

I will always miss my omaha!!! Peyton you are a class act. And still in 2019, I miss you so much still. We love you

Thanks for the memories, Peyton!

I almost started crying. We will miss you Peyton. 👏🏻

Greatest speech ever given, hands down

To hear someone speak about something with such passion is inspirational. One of the goats with a true love for the game.

Haven't seen this since he retired. Man....one of the best. I'm a Patriots and Brady fan, and boy do I miss those Brady v Manning games. Always a heck of a show.

That blew me away. Classy man that will greatly missed.

Wtf is up with the skipping?

Peyton was absolutely amazing and definitely one of the best quarterback ever I have nothing but respect for manning and ever thing he's done for the NFL. I will miss Peyton, and this is coming from a new england, die hard Brady fan. Peyton and Brady were my favorites.

That was beautiful! I am grateful to have watched Peyton play and now this farewell speech.

My favorite Quarterback of all time. I love Peyton Manning.

I live in Louisiana cool that his home town is New Orleans

I just love this man ! So kind and humble

I'm not even a football fan, but I gotta give anyone respect who has stuck with something as long as he has. And can still recall the smallest details of it all and tear up. True love of the game.

🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈...............🐐

You guys laugh at his forehead while he laughs all the way to the beach with a cigar and fat pocket

It is hard to say "good by" to something you love so very much. It is impossible not to cry. Peyton, you are a real man. Take a break sir...you have earned it.

Manning, you gave the city of Denver a great ride. We will miss you you dearly. Cheers brother.

Wow. Spine tingling stuff. I feel like I've watched this guy my whole life. What a gamer.

Did You Know That Today Is The Five Year Anniversary Of the Colts Releasing Peyton Manning? March 7, 2011. Go Figure.

No words. Much respect and we'll see you man!! Awesome career and class man and family. Thanks for it all.

Sundays will never be the same :(

Peyton For Commissioner 2016

Been loving him since his Knoxville days. It's been a true privilege to watch him play in this sport, and perfect his craft. Thank you, Sherriff. #18 years went by way too quickly.

Total class to the end. A true legend of the game and of the camera, hope to see him either calling games or analyzing them this season. God bless you, Peyton Manning, there will never be another personality in the game like you sir.

Pats fan thats sorry to know there are no more Tom vs Payton games to watch ever. Best of luck to you Payton

8:47 💔💔💔

Dang man. I got teary-eyed. As a Patriots fan I will definitely miss this man. He's been one of my favorite quarterbacks since I started playing football. A legend has left the NFL and will surely be missed.

A truly touching and beautiful farewell speech from an amazing player

This is quite emotional
