Peyton Manning, a former NFL legend and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, attended the College World Series baseball game between the Ole Miss Rebels and the Auburn Tigers on Saturday, June 18.

Peyton was mistakenly identified on the jumbotron as 'Peyton Manning: Eli Manning's Brother' in a humorous event. Imagine winning the MVP award and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame while still living in the shadow of your younger brother, who also played in the NFL.

One Twitter user, Cooper Thorey, suggested that the screen should have identified Peyton as Tom Brady's father. Peyton and Tom Brady have been rivals and have faced each other in head-to-head competitions.

@MichaelLKatz Should have said Tom Brady’s dad

Peyton should have been referred to as Arch Manning's uncle, according to another user, Fake WYO Sports. Arch is the nephew of Peyton and is presently a quarterback at Isidore Newman School.

@MichaelLKatz Arch's uncle would have been hilarious!

The whole 'Peyton: Eli Manning' sibling situation may be compared to some fathers introducing their children to others as per TBD.

@EliManning You ever hear Dad introduce us to people? "This is our son, Eli, and this is our other son, Eli's brother."

Jone Sings Music had some questions in mind. He questioned why the team loses when "Eli Manning's brother" attends Tennessee games, but the opposite happens when Peyton attends games for other teams. Jone blamed the situation on the "Manning Curse."

@EliManning Why is it when Eli Mannings brother attends Tennessee games we lose, but when he goes to other teams they win?
#ManningCurse 🤔🤣

Melissa Amrita feels it makes sense to call Peyton as Eli Manning's brother, probably because of the "Manning Curse."
