There are too many people at ESPN/Disney who don't realize there are actually people out there who enjoy sports. Like, the actual sports games. Not the celebrity hype machine, the social media jarring, or single game parlay bonuses, but the organized competition between two teams wearing different uniforms.

The ManningCast is an interesting novelty when it's 2 brothers who have played a lot of football providing a commentary track for a football game. In the current format, it's the 2 worst talk show hosts of all-time doing a pandemic era Zoom production while a football game is played in the background. It doesn't help that the real MNF broadcast has a duo who have developed into excellent sportscasters. If I have a choice between listening to Peyton and Eli ask Martha Stewart for her favorite turkey roasting tips or listening to Buck and Aikman elevate a November MNF game to the point that I'm convinced it might decide who goes to the Super Bowl, I'm going with Buck and Aikman.
