Ty Law: Peyton would try getting me drunk to get info on Patriots' defense

Peyton Manning would do anything for a leg up on the competition.

During the legendary quarterback's time with the Indianapolis Colts, he'd attempt to get intel on the rival New England Patriots. That apparently included trying to get recently inducted Hall of Fame cornerback Ty Law drunk.

"Peyton would try to get you," Law said, according to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith. "Once you get over to the Pro Bowl, you're on the same team. Peyton tried to get you drunk and then try to dig into your brain: 'What did you see? Why did you do this?'

"He'd feed you these mai tais, then he'd butter you up and ask you, 'What did you see?' and this and that. I was like, 'Peyton, I ain't falling for that shit.'"

The Colts and Patriots' rivalry was among the most high-profile in the NFL this century, fueled by a quarterback duel between Manning and Tom Brady.

Law was one of Manning's defensive adversaries, especially in the postseason. The cornerback intercepted the signal-caller five times in two playoff matchups.
