During his latest Monday Night Football parallel broadcast, Peyton Manning decided to revisit a particularly striking accusation from the height of the Colts-Patriots rivalry.
“Every time I played against New England, I used to go and talk to my receivers in the shower, like in the far corner,” Manning said. “I’m like, ‘Don’t talk about a play next to my locker, because I know it’s bugged. I know it’s got a hot mic in there.’ We’re in the shower, very strange to see seven guys hanging out in there.”
And while Manning seemed to be mentioning it only as humorous banter, there was a time when his accusation had some seriousness to it.
