Former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is hosting the ESPY awards tonight. Leading up to the event, Manning made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Tuesday.

Manning talked about a wide variety of topics, including his feelings on fantasy football fans versus diehard football fans. The conversation led to a funny story regarding an experience that Manning had with a diehard Buffalo Bills fan.

Manning and the Colts had escaped with a win late against the Bills in the middle of his career and the quarterback decided to throw his hat and sweatbands to people in the crowd as souvenirs. One Bills fan wasn't having it.

"We were playing Buffalo in the middle of my career and we beat them on the last drive of the game, right?" Manning said. "So I'm going into the locker room and I've always thrown my hat and my sweatbands up into the crowd. You find a kid, right? Even a kid who's a Buffalo fan is probably gonna want a sweatband or hat or something. So I throw it to one kid and he's like, 'Oh my gosh, thanks.' I threw my hat to a dad; he was happy. I take my other sweatband and throw it to this kid, he was in this big Buffalo Bills jersey, and he throws it right back in my face. And I'm like, 'You know what? I like that kid. He likes his team.' I like the diehards."

That fan may regret their decision now as Manning went on to become one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, but the memory has stuck with the soon to be Hall of Fame quarterback.
