Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was ruthless on the field against the New England Patriots, and the 41-year-old has no plans to change his approach as host of the ESPY awards on Wednesday night.

During a recent episode of his late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel — having co-hosted the sports awards ceremony with LeBron James in 2007 — talked to Manning about his upcoming gig.

“Tom Brady. Is he somebody that you will make fun of?” Kimmel asked. “As a fellow great quarterback, do you feel that you have to leave him be?”

“No, the Patriots won the Super Bowl, so they are obviously a part of the show,” Manning said.
