Peyton Manning admits he was initially uncomfortable with the idea of hitting kids with a football during his time as host of "Saturday Night Live."
The retired quarterback spoke about his memorable 2007 United Way sketch at the annual Colts Kickoff Luncheon on Wednesday, revealing that it took some convincing from one of the child actors' parents before he agreed to do it.
"I want him to hit my kid in the face." 😂
