Peyton and Eli Manning collaborated with Steelers great Jerome Bettis for a very special Halloween epsiode on ESPN+. In a special combined episode of Peyton's Places and Eli's Places, the three created their own version of the famed Ghostbusters film in a skit for the platform. And it all takes place at Bettis' alma mater Notre Dame as they search for the ghost of Notre Dame running back George Gipp.
The three Super Bowl winners walked into the Notre Dame locker room where they were told their uniforms were waiting. Upon entering, there are three customized Ghostbusters uniforms for each of them. They then take off on Notre Dame's historic campus in none other than the Ghostbusters' Ectomobile.
Bettis gives directions to Peyton as he drives the iconic car from the movie and even flashes his student ID to get through a gates area. Bettis just finished his Bachelor's Degree from Notre Dame this past spring and is now an official alumni.

When Bettis asked Peyton how he got the Ectomobile, he joked that he told Bill Murray, who played Dr. Peter Venkman in the Ghostbusters' movie, that he could take Eli's spot on the Manningcast.
The entire episode was released on Sunday morning and can now be watched in its entirety on ESPN+.
Eli Manning makes appearance at Penn State's "White Out"
Since 2004, the Penn State Nittany Lions have hosted a primetime "White Out" game each season. The annual game has become iconic in the football team's history as over 100,000 fans all decked out in white, pack Beaver Stadium and create a loud environment unlike anything that has ever been seen in college football.
On Saturday night, Penn State took on Minnesota in the annual White Out game and the football team's favorite walk-on player was in attendance. Eli Manning, also known as Chad Powers, was on the sidelines to take in the game with his daughters. Manning dressed up as a walk-on named Chad Powers for an episode of "Eli's Places" last month, an alter ego he may never be able to shake after the success of the episode. He tried to convince scouts and coaches that he should make the team before head coach James Franklin revelaed his identity.
Despite a slow start, Penn State pulled off a dominant 45-17 win over Minnesota in front of 109,318 of their loyal fans. Perhaps it was the "think fast, run fast" motto by Chad Powers that lifted the Nittany Lions to victory?
