Peyton Manning ended up at a party with the Avs and the Stanley Cup

Peyton Manning continues to prove time after time that Colorado is home.

The former Broncos QB still lives in a suburb outside of Denver, attends various sporting events around town and even is the coach of his kid’s flag football team.

So when the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup, did anyone have any doubts Manning would end up finding it and the team? Of course not.

Avs defenseman Erik Johnson posted a photo on his Instagram story on Thursday night of him and “The Sheriff” with the Cup, then Manning himself added a photo on social media. Check the pictures out:

How awesome!

And if you look closely enough at Manning’s belt, you can see it’s Colorado flag themed. This man is Mr. Colorado. Plus, the rumor is our own Brandon Stokley gave Manning the belt, so it makes it that much better.

We’ll see where the Stanley Cup heads next, as there’s sure to be plenty more celebrity sightings and insane incidents.
