The ManningCast got a massive guest for the first quarter of the Chicago Bears–New England Patriots Monday Night Football game. President Barack Obama, Chicago native and Bears fan, showed up to shoot the breeze with Peyton and Eli Manning.
While the three got into topics like presidential pardons on golf courses and the similarities of political reporting and sports reporting, some people were noticing what Obama was wearing rather than what he was saying.
As it’s fall and the Mannings have a penchant for wearing quarter-zip sweaters, the former president played ball and one-upped the former quarterbacks with his all-black ensemble.
