Peyton Manning, the NFL fan, rooting for 6 teams

Many of Indianapolis' football fans kept rooting for Peyton Manning after he left the Colts for the Denver Broncos in 2012.

Now, as the future-Hall-of-Fame quarterback steps into retirement, he says he plans to root for the Colts.

And the Broncos.

And the Houston Texans.

And three more teams, according to several media outlets at the Manning Passing Academy on Saturday.

At the Manning passing academy, Peyton said he'd be rooting for Broncos, Colts, Giants, Texans, Dolphins and Lions this season. Just an FYI.
