KUSA - Mama knows best, right?

If anyone understands a professional football career, it's probably Olivia Manning. Olivia stood by as her husband Archie Manning as he played for the New Orleans Saints, Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings -- spanning 13 years in the NFL.

Then, two of her sons -- Eli and Peyton -- ended up playing in the big leagues too. Both of her sons have now won two Super Bowl rings -- Eli with the New York Giants and Peyton with both the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

So, when she says it's time to hang up the cleats, she probably knows what she's talking about.

"I would like for Peyton to retire, I would," she told ESPN.com and The Los Angeles Times.

She continued to say she thought retiring after winning a Super Bowl was the "best way to go out."
