Peyton Manning won Super Bowl 50 last night with the Denver Broncos but why did he mention Budweiser during his postgame interviews?

Manning has never been associated with Budweiser as far as I know during his long career in the NFL.

I've never seen him in a Budweiser ad, so when he mentioned how much of the beer he was going to drink last night I was intrigued.

In two separate TV interviews he mentioned Budweiser. Something was up but it didn't feel like an endorsement. Turns out, it wasn't.

I also found out that Budweiser didn't pay him to mention the product. The Budweiser mention was strictly a calculated Peyton Manning business move.

What would you do? Manning's retiring, he's just looking out for his future interests. I have no problem with what he did.
