OT- The Peyton and Eli Manning show debuts tonight on MNF, ESPN2-OT worth the watch

If you want to watch the No Fun League with levity and some serious insight and great give and take (no play by play commentary) then this is the broadcast for you. Monday  9/11. ( I will refrain from venting about that date here out of forum decorum.)

Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets- Should be quite a game. 

Edit to correct fat finger move.

I see they held auditions for this year:

If you follow the NFL and their broadcasts , then that is a production that exemplifies what the show offers. 

Thanks @Langner91 for that link.

Peyton’s son is a Josh Allen fan. 

Let’s hope the Bills leave New Jersey with a win.

I am a Packer fan, so I am hoping for the same result.  I may be petty, and someday I will be happy to see the Jets' QB in the Packer HOF, but today isn't that day.

FTFY.  Same here.

Bump as tonight's the night...(apologies to Rod Stewart).

Peyton and Eli breaking down the route of the streaker that got taken out by the “veteran player” last year is one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen in television, let alone sports..

can’t wait for tonight! 

Found it-

Well now.  That was a true upset.  Survivor pool participants, I hope you weren't on the Bills tonight!

Those NFL Script Writers are on FIRE!  Spend the entire off-season hyping this QB move and then write him out of the first episode.  Dang, never saw it coming.  Sort of like a backwards "Who shot JR?".

The video foreshadowed it, but we all thought it would be the other State Farm guy.

Thanks for the reminder @lousubcap

I was away until later in the eve, and remotely setup a recording of ESPN2, otherwise I would have missed it entirely.

Only two guests last night-last year it was three and they had four for most of their first year's run. 

Guess the novelty is gone.

Looking for the viewership ratings for last night.

I think the main feed will always attract the fan who has a rooting/betting/fantasy interest in the game.  If "my team" is playing, I am going to watch the main feed so I can be more in tune with the stats and flow of the game.

However, if the game offers no interest to me, like when the Bills play at the Jets and the ex-QB of "my team" isn't playing after the first series, I enjoy the light-hearted banter the Mannings offer.

Some games require me to start out with the main feed, and then switch once it becomes a snooze-fest.

Let me add, I am truly crushed for Aaron Rodgers.  I absolutely never wanted to see him go out this way.

That time in the cave...the downstream repercussions, NFL - No Free Lunch.

If you missed the ManningCast tonight, you missed the best college basketball player in the country.

I posted the below on the WAYDRN thread a few minutes ago:

"Watching the ESPN2 MNF Manningcast tonight for the entertainment value and every time the broadcast is available.  Eagles-Chiefs tonight so a Kelce brothers matchup.  (Taylor Swift is a continent away...)

But the focus of this is the guest appearance of Iowa's NCAAW basketball star Caitlin Clark.  She was poised and skilled well beyond her years (21 yo).  Engaging, entertaining and totally embraced the give and take.  Clearly comfortable in the environment.  Impressive performance. "

She was one of my favorite guests they’ve had in.
