Peyton Manning Eyeing West Hartford Homes: Report
NFL great Peyton Manning has been spotted house hunting in town as he prepares to begin his post-playing career, possibly with ESPN.
WEST HARTFORD, CT – Recently retired NFL great Peyton Manning is reportedly looking at houses in West Hartford as he prepares to begin his post-playing career, possibly at ESPN.
Speculation on Manning’s future began even before the final snap of his second Super Bowl championship in the Denver Broncos’ 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in last month’s Super Bowl 50.
Manning officially announced his retirement on March 7 and the speculation has intensified since then, would it be TV? A front-office executive of an NFL team?
A caller to the Broadway’s Electric Barnyard radio show on Country 92.5, who identified herself as Erin and said she was a real estate agent, told the hosts that Manning looked at two of her listings last week and has landed a job at ESPN.
“I happen to know that Peyton Manning is coming to West Hartford because he looked at two of my listings in West Hartford last week with his realtor,” Erin said on Tuesday morning’s show.
If Manning does land with ESPN, West Hartford would be a logical place for him to live since it’s only about 20 minutes away from the Bristol campus and many ESPN hosts and employees already live there.
