ESPN shot themselves in the foot, to the surprise of no one. Yes the Manning Cast has too many celeb guests now and it makes watching a chore because they don't even talk football a lot of the time. Manningcast was way more engaging when they had other players on.

But arguably the bigger issue is that the MNF crew is now Aikman and Buck, who are actively a good pair compared to the horrible trio of Levy, Griese, and Riddick. I used to tune into the Manningcast mainly because they were the better alternative. Now Buck and Aikman are good and I have zero reason to watch the Manningcast.

ESPN is paying a shitload of money to cannabalize their own broadcasts.
