That Peyton Manning is so cheeky.

The Broncos quarterback, who owns 21 Papa John's pizza places in Colorado, recently gave SI.com's Peter King an update on how things are going for the chain franchise.

"There's some different laws out here in Colorado," Manning said. "Pizza business is pretty good out here, believe it or not, due to some recent law changes."

Of course, Manning was referring to Colorado recently legalizing recreational marijuana.
