We’ve made it a habit of laughing with Peyton Manning over the years.

The College World Series on Saturday turned the tables and trolled the former NFL quarterback, leaving many laughing at the former Tennessee Volunteer.

Manning, who was in attendance at the CWS watching Ole Miss and Auburn, was shown on the jumbotron and was identified as Eli Manning’s brother. Seems appropriate as Eli’s Rebels were playing.

Speaking of the Rebels, Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin - who is also in Omaha - couldn’t help but capture the moment for his Twitter followers. All’s fair in SEC trolling, amirite?

Peyton Manning, over the years, has proven he can take a joke but has a knack for delivering some timely humor.

On Friday, while attending the first day of the College World Series, he sported an “Omaha” hat, which, of course, is not only the location of the CWS but also the word he made famous with his audibles during his time in the NFL.
