Tennessee Vols legend Peyton Manning, as he tends to do, went viral on Monday night during the ManningCast broadcast of the Los Angeles Chargers vs New York Jets. 

At one point during the show, Eli Manning asked Peyton to go through a series of play calls with ridiculous names. And Peyton nailed every single one of them (except the last one, which he refused to do). 

The play calls had names that ranged from flounder to disco to turtle (among several others). 

Just check out the clip, no words really do it justice. 

Peyton is one of the best things about ESPN these days. If the ManningCast is on (it's not an every week deal), I can't imagine why anyone would watch the Joe Buck/Troy Aikman broadcast of the Monday night game. And that's nothing against Buck/Aikman — they're an iconic broadcasting duo. It's just that Peyton, who references his time at Tennessee during nearly every ManningCast, is incredibly entertaining (and insightful). 

Hopefully we get the ManningCast for years to come. It's one of the few gems in sports television these days.
