The man throwing Demaryius Thomas the ball earned himself a little airtime on Wednesday, too.

Peyton Manning seized the spotlight at the ESPYS, where he was awarded the Best Record-Breaking Performance of the Year by voters.

Watch Manning accept the award in the video below. Ironically, Brett Favre -- the player Manning passed on the all-time career list -- sits back to watch his daughter, Mosley.

A humble Favre sent a congratulatory tweet to Manning after the event.

Hey, records are set to be broken. Still friends. Congrats again Peyton. @NFL @ESPYS https://t.co/48tW3XWJW9 pic.twitter.com/skpDTSEhSR
