Peyton Manning served as the host for the 25th annual ESPY Awards Wednesday night in Los Angeles, and while many found him hilarious during his opening monologue, others probably didn’t. Peyton decided to take his humor up a notch & take a couple innocent jabs in the process, making fun of Ryan Lochte’s alleged robbery & Kevin Durant for joining the Warriors. However, Kevin didn't find any humor in Peyton’s comments, in fact he looked hella pissed.

During the opening monologue, Peyton would go onto praise the women's U.S. gymnastics team at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, and in doing so he found a way to fire off the perfect jab at Kevin Durant. "Our gymnastics team was so dominant that Kevin Durant told me he wants to play for them next year," Manning said, as Durant coldly stared back at him. "And I gotta tell you, I don't think you'd start for that team, Kevin. Russell Westbrook, what do you think?
