NFL

well it was on TSN in canadaast season we could choose regular broadcast or manningcast. Now, manningcast is nowhere to be found on TSN so I guess they are kind of doing it to themselves 🤷

ManningCast sucks

There is no fucking way I am going to watch a game where 30% of the screen are the manning brothers

The show fucking sucks. I want to hear about and watch football. I don't want them talking to each other or to guests about random bullshit when the game is on.

We watch the show for the manning brothers breaking stuff down, quit with the celebrity guests, I’d be okay with other high level pros that can add to the discussion but they are doing their best to turn it into every other espn sports show and it’s just boring.

One guest a week. Ideally football related but at least a fan of the game. I think Bill Burr was on and he was great, I think the Snoop one was good too. It has to be someone who's at least sort of there for the football.

They’re boring and I don’t want to see their dopey faces in my living room for 3.5 hours.

Also, I don’t like that the volume on the broadcast is turned down. This production should belong on YouTube where it can have a dedicated audience and they won’t have to worry about wasting a slot

They should really have other camera angles as well. It doesn’t have to be commentary over the main broadcast. I’d love to see a drive of the all-22 with the Mannings and a defensive player putting arrows and circles over each down diagnosing in real time.

If ESPN can eat fines for Pat McAfee swearing Manningcast can have permanent guest spot open for Marshawn Lynch

He was absolutely perfect set against both Peyton and Eli

This is so much better than any broadcast. It’s odd how tv ratings are calculated . Dish network completely lost and doesn’t show fox network and they have some fix games with higher ratings than when dish had fox. No way you remove one of the largest tv providers and a channel but report higher ratings for sporting events in fox. That doesn’t math

Get in the same room and ditch the non-football related guests if you watch. I have enough zoom meetings in my life already.

The bit where eli yelling into Peyton's ear like an OC "PLAY PLAY PLAY WATCG 7 SWITCH THUS HURRY SNAP DELAY OF GAME"

... is such good insight into the details that make a good offense run that most of us would never know about

So boring. Rather listen to drunk idiot Joe Buck.

I’d watch it if I had the channel

The back and forth inside joke banter is jarring after a while. Just talk game give more insight. Chill on the guests as well.

What they should do is make it an audio only secondary audio choice for the main channel. English language, Spanish language, and Mannning bro talk.

There is no need to devote a second channel for it, we don’t need to see the Mannings, and we definitely don’t need a talk show format for guests to plug things.

The ManningCast isn’t even about football anymore, atleast when the guests are on

It’s literally not even worth watching if you care at all about the game

They really need to get them in the same room together.

I tried watching when the Seahawks played but it just seemed so over the top and stupid. Plus they both seem to be super against Seattle so IDC for em.

Granted the only time I've watched Seattle played the broncos and giants so I guess I understand the bias.

it got worse the minute espn realized it was popualr and started overproducing it. just have the 2 guys and anyone they are actually friends with shooting the shit. i dont want and scripted segments. dead air is fine.

We tuned into the Manningham when Joe schmo and uncle laser were the announcers. Joe and Troy are great though and much more enjoyable to actually take in a game.

Guests should only be big football fans, or players/industry members.

Marshawn showing up wasted, Joe Buck just fucking around, and John Stewart complaining about the Giants, these are Hallmark moments of the show.

Whomever that fuckin "comedian" who was on last week, who just babbled about nothing, disconnected, then came back only to do the same shit, was annoying. Idk who she is, she clearly doesn't care about football, and there's no point. This isn't a talk show, it's a MNF game

It’s such an easy problem to fix too if they give even one iota of shit

Honestly The ManningCast is my favorite sports show right after the TNT NBA pre game crew. Though I like the Mannings just because they're complete dorks about football, but I find their insight to be refreshing compared to most commentators during games. But that's just me, I could do without the guests for the most part but even those can be entertaining sometimes or at least spruce up the horrible games that are often on prime time NFL.

they need to ditch espn and go on Twitch during thursday night, and no celebrity guests outside of football

Well the main cast is on broadcast TV now in addition to ESPN. Less and less people even have ESPN2 or cable for that matter. And they aren’t even on every week. This first year was gold but now they are mostly a talk show. Waaaaay better than the LeBron BS though.

Thats because they are competing with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman...who are actually pretty good at casting.

The format designed around pandemic isolation and suffers now for keeping it

Bunch of curmudgeons in here. The ManningCast is absolutely hilarious and the non-football guests and awkward format just add to the absurdity of it all. I just think it's dumb that it doesn't get simulcast on ESPN+. I'll be very disappointed if it ever goes away.

I think it’s neat that it exists. But I haven’t watched much of it.

This is so stupidly simple:

GET. RID. OF THE. GUESTS.

I just want to watch the game and get some insights from people that know the game well.

If you absolutely must have someone else on, make sure it's a damn football person. I literally couldn't care less about Arnold damn Schwarzenegger and whatever babbling bullshit he was talking about. .

Also never have Screamin A Smith or Skip Bayless or any of those dumbass sports jocks on there. NE.VER.

I think the initial novelty of it has worn off. It felt too much like a tv show instead of a game. I prefer the traditional broadcast. (Even though Troy aikman fucking sucks)

They need to book Bill Burr forever

The focus should never really get off football or the game.

it's football show, keep it about football

it's dead simple shit

Eli sucks. Some of the guests are good football talks but most are a waste of time. I’d rather them and a 3rd guest (who could add football value) every week were in the same room just watching the game.

I just wanna see two dudes who know the game on a ridiculous level just root their hearts out for the offense at all times… and Eli to say the most hilarious shit that I’m 100% convinced he doesn’t mean as a joke lol

Tbh, I think a lot of people have cancelled cable and it’s ridiculously hard to watch Monday Night Football. Sure, the show isn’t what it was and overall this season of football isn’t that good but that has to be a contributing factor.

It's probably because the the Manning brothers have the charisma of half a toe

The first few games when it started where great. A lot of football talk and former players. Then it QUICKLY got turned into celebs coming on to endorse something and not talk any football at all.

Lost their mojo. Think they should stop with most guests.

Easy they went from something organic to a commercialized product.

The show worked because it was two idiots gushing over football!

Anyone remember Conan's Clueless Gamer segment? It was great when it was 2 guys with chemistry talking about playing the video game. Then they decided to bring in celebrities to "improve" the segment and it ended up killing it. The same thing is happening with the Manningcast.

Having guests with little to no interest in football just promoting their stuff is not helping. It feels like a late night talk show.

The novelty has worn out. I’d rather watch a best of at the end of the season then watch a full manningcast game (unless my teams being blown out)

Have 2 guests, either a celebrity fan of one of the teams or a known former player. One each half. First few minutes of the second and middle/later of the 3rd. Cut the promotion crap. Leave the rest of the time for the two to banter with each other while watching the game.

I’m pretty dumb when it comes to tv stuff but the manning cast seems hard to find for me. I have the nfl + subscription but never see the manning cast as an option. Would really like to watch it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Because it sucks due to all the arbitrary guests

I can't even watch it in Canada, have to buy another BS streaming service...

They explained how to identify man vs zone by who is lined up across from the running back, with just the two of them. It was great and informative. This was 5 minutes after they photoshopped Peyton's hair onto Trevor Lawrence for a joke that went on way too long.

Stop doing guests. Just Manning + Manning breaking down the game. Don't force an interview in where it isn't needed
