PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank Center:Jimmy Kimmel brings laughs, Desmond Howard dishes on famous Heisman pose on ManningCast

Mark Davis’ infamous haircut,PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank Center the subject of countless jokes, got special treatment during the ManningCast on Monday night.

Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, watched from a private suite as his team defeated the Green Bay Packers, 17-13. His bowl-shaped haircut did not fare as well.

“Yeah, he should sue Supercuts for sure,’’ Jimmy Kimmel cracked after joining Peyton Manning and Eli Manning for the second half of their alternate "Monday Night Football" telecast.

The conversation began when Kimmel, the late-night TV host, said Davis looked good bald and that he’d seen photos of it. In fact, in February photos on a gossip site showed Davis looking clean-shaven.

But the TV cameras found Davis in the private suite at the Raiders’ stadium and confirmed reality: the Raiders owner still is sporting the same old look.

After Kimmel suggested Davis should sue Supercuts, Peyton added, “Every year I try to model my hair after an NFL owner. And this year it’s been Mark Davis.”

A graphic superimposed Davis’ haircut on Peyton’s head. At which point Peyton made strangely timed observation of the Raiders’ owner, “You do not want to get on his bad side, I promise you.’’

How did Jimmy Kimmel's humor permeate ManningCast?

Kimmel’s edgy humor seemed to rub off on Peyton.

At one point, the camera showed signature Raiders fans, dressed up more like bikers.

“You know, we were happy to get those fans out of California, to be honest with you,’’ Kimmel said, referencing the Raiders' move from Oakland to Las Vegas in 2020.

Then it was Peyton taking a jab at comedian Pete Davidson. Addressing why the Mannings had only two guests for each of their first three telecasts this year, Manning said, “Last week, Pete Davison was set to do it and he had a little car trouble.’’

Davidson, who briefly dated Kim Kardashian, crashed his car on Oct. 1 after leaving one of his comedy shows in Los Angeles. In June, he crashed his car into his Beverly Hills home.

Oh, Manning said, the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes was supposed to be a guest Monday, but forgot the Chiefs play Thursday. Yeah, fat chance.

Was Desmond Howard's Heisman pose scripted?

Desmond Howard, who joined the Mannings as a guest in the first half, recounted how his iconic Heisman pose in 1991 was supposed to be a backflip. The summer before his senior year at Michigan, Howard explained, he was dating a gymnast.

“She taught me how to do a backflip,’’ he said. “And I was, like, this would be the coolest thing to do if I break out into the open, stop like on the 1-yard-line and do a backflip into the end zone.’’

The chance came against Ohio State as Howard broke away on a 93-yard punt return.

“So I’m running down the field, I’m second-guessing myself,’’ he said. “Should I do it? Yes? No?’’

He crossed the goal line and struck the famous pose.

“It was a pretty cool moment,’’ said Howard, who won the Heisman Trophy.

Wait, was that a flop?

In the first quarter, Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby was flagged for unnecessary roughness.

“That looked like a flop,’’ Peyton said.

Indeed, replay showed Packers right tackle Zach Tom pushed by Crosby and then literally diving into the turf.

“Are offensive lineman allowed to flop?’’ Peyton said.

Replied Eli: “They are not.’’

The video showed a clear flop.

“The NBA, they’re outlawing flopping,’’ Peyton said. “Do you have to get that in the NFL?”
