How to watch ‘Peyton’s Places’ episode 8: The birth of the ball

Join former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning as he continues his trek through the football world in his show “Peyton’s Places,” exclusively on ESPN+.

Have you ever wondered why a football is shaped like a football? You’re not alone and Manning is hunting for answers. Manning gets together with former teammate, wide receiver Brandon Stokley, to trace the evolution from a watermelon ball to the model seen on fields today. He then travels to the Wilson football factory to make the perfect ball.

“Peyton’s Places” is a tour through 100 years of football and the league’s rise to its place atop the sporting world. In each episode, Manning visits the people and places that have helped create the NFL into what it is today.
