Were you at Peyton Manning's retirement party? USATSI

Two months after he officially announced his retirement, Peyton Manning finally found time to hold a retirement party. The huge event went down on Monday at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Manning's party was basically the social event of the summer in the NFL. According to KUSA, Von Miller and Demaryius Thomas were both on hand to honor their former Broncos teammate. Eric Decker, Champ Bailey, Jacob Tamme and Julius Thomas were among the other former Broncos players who attended

Several former Colts players also showed up, including Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Jeff Saturday.

Edgerrin James also showed up, and we know that because he basically took a picture with everyone at the party.

First, he got a group shot of former Colts players:

Archie Manning was also at the event. The whole party was planned by Peyton's wife Ashley, according to KUSA's Mike Klis.

Anyway, thanks to James, who was the unofficial social media guru of the event, we also know that LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshall Faulk were in attendance at the party:

A few NFL head coaches also showed up, including John Fox, Adam Gase, Mike McCoy, Sean Payton and Andy Reid.

Jim Kelly and Rex Ryan were also on hand to bid Peyton adieu:


Former Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden also made time to attend the Peyton's retirement bash. The picture below comes from the Instagram page of Reggie Miller:



The guest list wasn't just limited to the sports world, either. Justin Timberlake and Chance the Rapper were also in Beverly Hills, although no one seems to be sure if Chance was actually invited.


Phil Simms, Matt Ryan, and Al Michaels were also in attendance.

Two days after the retirement party, Peyton was given the Icon Award at the ESPYs. Timberlake presented the award to Manning, Kobe Bryant and Abby Wambach.


By the way, if Manning's retirement party is any indication, it looks like he's actually done and we don't have to worry about him pulling a Brett Favre for the next two years.
