Manning Cast - MNF

[ChickenWyngz]

Who else has been watching? It's been fantastic, IMO. There have been some technical issues at times, but overall it has been hilarious and great information too. I've said for a long time guys like Pat McAfee were going to change the game in sports reporting, and this is added to that list. It brings in an entirely different audience, IMO.

I am sad they are taking a 3 week hiatus though. Can't wait until week 7 to tune in again.

Caught it the first couple of weeks.  Ended up missing part of this past week due to being sick and falling asleep on and off.

I think it's been great!  There have been some great stories, analysis and jokes.  But, hands down, in my opinion, is the dig Peyton threw down this past week on Joe Buck was HYSTERICAL...because it is true!

Biggest surprise to me has been Eli.  He's always been overshadowed by Peyton's personality for the most part.  He's had some great moments that I never expected.

BTW - I LOVE Pat McAfee's show.  Can get a little off-topic and raunchy sometimes, but the guy knows how to disarm his guests and you get less of the cut-and-paste cliches given in other interviews.

I haven't watched a second of the normal MNF broadcasts since this started and I won't watch the normal feed as long as this is on. 

[ChickenWyngz]

No doubt! With them taking 3 weeks off I legitimately may not watch. That's nothing standoffish at all, but I was making time to tune in for kickoff. I won't do that now.

Right there with you. We are watching an iteration of the what the future of sport's broadcasting will be.

He used to annoy me, but I can't deny how funny and talented Peyton Manning is. What's interesting is this is not an ESPN show. This is a show developed by the Mannings that was sold to ESPN.

Same.  So much more entertaining.

I like Peyton's commentary but I don't care for any of the rest of it I have listened to.

I wish they would have more of Peyton and Eli breaking down/reacting to the game and less on air guests. 
 

It seems like the broadcast his an awkward change of pace immediately when most guests are on.

Definitely on the guests, total buzz kill, that is one of my complaints. 

[TheDeuce]

Depends on the guest for me. Some have been really good, others not good at all.

Marshawn Lynch and Tom Brady were both excellent guests.

I watched a little bit last night on and off.  I thought Brees was okay, not as good as he is when he is doing color on his own broadcast.
