Peyton Manning got turned into a “Superfan” on the Soldier Field turf.
As part of his ESPN series, “Peyton’s Places,” the former Colts and Broncos quarterback mingled with George Wendt and Robert Smigel, formerly of “Saturday Night Live.” They re-enacted their characters from “Bill Swerski’s Superfans” and baptized the quarterback in Italian beef juice.
Maning wore a Walter Payton jersey, and was called “Peyton the Lesser” by Wendt.
“Do you believe in Halas, the Papa Bear almighty,” Wendt asks. ”And in Iron Mike Ditka, his only son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and suffered under Mike McCaskey?”
