Peyton Manning may just be an evil genius.

The Broncos quarterback squeezed in a reference to his apparently booming Papa John’s franchises in an interview with MMQB.com.

Manning bought 21 franchises of the pizza chain in October 2012, two weeks before weed was legalized in the state.

“I’ve gotten to know some of the folks here in Colorado,” Manning said in responding to a question about whether he voted.

“There’s some different laws out here in Colorado. Pizza business is pretty good out here, believe it or not, due to some recent law changes. So when you come to a different place, you’ve kind of got to learn everything that comes with it.”
