    Tennessee Vols legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning joined Will Compton and Taylor Lewan this week on " Bussin with the Boys " for a fantastic interview that included a ton of great stories.

    It's worth a watch if you haven't already checked it out.

    At one point during the sit-down (which isn't actually on the bus), Peyton was asked about his relationship with Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning (Arch, in case this is your first time on the internet, is Peyton's nephew).

    Peyton described their relationship in the most Peyton way ever.

    "It's funny, you know these 19 and 20 year olds, the text response rate is not super high, it's not a great completion percentage," said Peyton. "I kinda let him reach out to me if he has a question. He came to Denver a couple of years ago, we worked out. That was fun.

    "And he will, every now and then, text me with a question about a two-minute drill, this is what happened in practice today. And I'm sure as soon as he texts me the question, he regrets it. Because you can't answer a question about a two minute drill with a text back. You have to go to the voice memo. And it can't be just one. So you bang him back with a seven minute voice memo response about the two minute, about what the defense is doing, the plays that you like. You gotta go to your staples. And then you finish it and you're like, I didn't even mention the fact that a defense after a time out will probably come with an exotic blitz. So you better call a max protection coming out of the timeout. And then you finish that one, that's about a six minute (voice memo). And then you're like, I totally forgot about the red zone. So three voice memos later...he's probably calling Eli (Manning) more."

    All kidding aside, what an incredible resource for Arch to have. But then again, to Arch, I'm sure Peyton is just another family member who loves to talk football. And I think we all know that Peyton could go on for hours and hours about X's and O's.
