Who's been watching the Manning broadcast of MNF on ESPN2 the first two weeks?
I think it's been amazing to listen to Peyton, Eli, and the myriad guests they have on and how they dissect football and give a real unfiltered analysis of the game as it's going on.
There are definitely kinks to work out, Peyton is, at times, a little long-winded. The brothers and guests not all being in the same place forcing audio delays make for awkward stepping over each other, and there needs to be a better focus on the play by play analysis, but it is only week two and they've got a lot right already.

I like it, but I don't think the guests add much.

The content has been in-depth, and is very enlightening as to what is going through a QB's head during the game. The production has been a bit rough. The best part is when Eli hacks on Peyton. And they had PMac on last night, which must be a producer's nightmare, because you just never know what he's going to say. The first week was better than last night, but it's really good viewing for Manning fans, or for more technical fans. |

I watched a few minutes as I walked through the room. I happened to catch Peyton explaining how he took the opposing teams defensive schemes as a personal insult that needed to be avenged. Classic Peyton.
I am wondering why one or the other Manning can't get on a freaking plane and be in the same room as his brother. That would improve the watchability. Is that too much to ask, given the number of viewers listening to them,? |

From what I've heard, Peyton only took the gig because he could do it from home, since he's spending more time with his kids (even coaching his son's flag football team. (Can you imagine having Peyton as your kid's coach?).
Not sure why Eli couldn't head up to Peyton's Place for the show... (see what I did there?)

I also caught a segment where Peyton was recollecting details, that Eli didn't remember, of certain plays from a certain drive that happened in a certain game from years ago. Funny thing is that Eli was quarterbacking that drive.

The first week was better than last night, but it's really good viewing for Manning fans, or for more technical fans. I think, for me, the first week was better because the game was better. The Mannings and Wilson were completely engaged in the 4th quarter/overtime and really discussing different aspects of the game. Week two was a blowout and they had a harder time staying engaged I felt. I think the guests have been hit and miss. Kelce, Gronk, those kind of meatheads I have no interest in. But Russ, Ray Lewis, the super intelligent ones who can give all kinds of different insights from both sides of the ball are the kind of guests I'm interested in seeing more of. As for the Mannings not being in the same room, that is baffling but it is what it is. |

Eli gives the double bird on air. Live. And it was phenomenal.
They should just put the Mannings on ESPN, and the regular announcers on ESPN2.
I can never watch a regular football game again. The education in football I'm getting from Peyton is unbelievable. Sometimes I don't know what the hell he's talking about, but when I understand it, it just blows my mind. It's like a Dennis Miller standup routine.

The Mannings had Letterman on last night, and gave a lot of pub to BSU. Dave talked about shooting Peyton's show at BSU, and asked Eli why he didn't do a show in Muncie.
Good stuff!
