NFL

As a pats fan my love for the Mannings is uh finite lol, but for sure they are not the problem.

Football this year has been ugly as shit and has had some of the most objectionable officiating in recent memory (moving the ball in the Baltimore game to gift a first down, blowing a fumble dead in pats dolphins, etc etc etc).

Straight up the nfl is a dogshit product this year. The games are shitty and the super stars aren’t really superstarring.

Good, Peyton’s piece of shit human.

It’s bound to happen

They’re boring asf. Happy for them though they had a good run

I don’t understand how they thought getting a show with Peyton commenting on Monday night games and turning it into cringy bits constantly would work? How do they not realize that the majority of people that want to watch that want to watch because it’s Peyton freaking Manning? We want to hear commentary from one of the all time greats — an opportunity to pull back the curtain a little bit. But they spend like 2/3rds of the show talking to totally unrelated guests and just shit talking each other. No thanks.

I watched manning cast one time and was like fuck this.

The clips I see from it after the game are entertaining, but I’m honestly not sure who their target audience is. If I care anything about the game, then I’m watching the main broadcast. If I don’t care about the game, then I’m doing something else completely unrelated.

I liked Arnold though… am I basic? Also I liked watching Peyton dancing and showing off all the play calls and describing what they mean.

I really don’t want to see the game I’m 2/3rds the normal size with the other 1/3rf just being their faces. Just broadcast together as is, it’s phenomenal. Maybe an online stream for those who want to see all the gimmicks?

NFL for some reason doesn’t realize most of their viewers do indeed watch the games for…football. Not to see Kevin Hart plug his new shitty movie. As soon as ther golden boys in Kansas City got the Taylor Swift bump, they jumped the shark big time and are alienating a lot of real fans. It almost feels like for some games, the football is background music for whatever bullshit they’re trying to shove in your face. Most people watching a Jets/Chargers Monday Night game aren’t watching for the spectacle, fyi.

Two issues:

1. Guests — They rarely add value. Cut them down to 1 minute tops.

2. Latency — Delay kills the rapport.

It’s for casuals, not for ppl here. Not that I would know why casuals would enjoy it either

I got out 4 wks into season 1 because there was so much garbage being mixed into a good alt broadcast. Sounds like it’s gotten worse trying to fish for viral moments or whatever, along with it being an ad fest

They honestly suck. I thought it was really great at first, but there's too much dead air, the cameos are awkward, and Peyton comes across like he's a dickhead 100% more times than I thought he would. It plays like a twitch stream but it's on national television. They have the means to make it work but they don't know what they're doing. It worked when espn had dogshit announcers on the main channel but now that it's buck and aikman I'd rather listen to them instead of dead air and a B celebrity plugging their oatmeal or some shit while they pretend to know anything about what's happening with a 3 second delay on each response.

As MMA fan, I was interested to see that Dana White was joining. However, the actual interview showed he has little to no knowledge of football. The whole interview was pretty awkward and that’s the extent of their interviews I’d seen. If they do those celebrities interview often then I would get tired of it.

They lost me the first time I tried listening to that hillbilly ass accent Peyton has.

Byebye guests. Easy save, considering its for the football dorks anyways. Give us our football dorks.

So? I'd rather watch it OTA than pay for ESPN anyway. If I have to pay for it, why would I want to watch Omaha Steaks and his brother mild sauce talk through the whole thing?

Honestly, they missed a few weeks so wasn’t sure if they were on or not, but also Monday night matchups have been kinda bad this year. Packers Raiders? Lions Raiders? I like the Lions but I’m not exactly thinking that’s a marquee matchup.

This shit jumped the shark long ago

Well, same 'ol, same 'ol, does get old after awhile.

Talk football and people would stay tuned.

Hot take: I’ve really enjoyed Buck and Aikman on MNF. So it was easy for me to switch off of the ManningPlugCast back to the regular broadcast

The shitty guests ruin it so much

The show peaked with Shannon Sharpe yelling "KICK WHAT?"

Never watched it

The Mannings don't want to make the effort to be in the same place together to watch the game and avoid the terribly awkward lag. So why should I make the effort to tune in?

The guests are usually uninteresting and just further detract from the game, which is the reason I'm watching in the first place.

I'm trying to watch the game, not listen to a bunch of vanilla late night show bullshit with fake laughs and childish 100% safe, unoffensive humor.

I just don't see what there is to like about it. Peyton and Eli grifted ESPN into paying them to live-react to the game every week, from their own house, and basically be ESPN's once-a-week Jay Leno. Good for them, I guess.

They need to stop with non football guests, and discuss the game and plays more. It was great when they had Brady and n

Accessibility is an issue.

It’s great for snippets of the show on short form media, but it’s not easy for any regular person to tune in.

Eli is so bad. He has some decent quips here or there but hes bad at everything else. There we just stares at the screen open-mouthed is not interesting

Despite a small minority of people have a fervent hatred for Joe Buck, Buck and Aikman are pretty well liked and the best broadcasting duo imo. People are probably just watching them.

Back when the ESPN crew sucked more people would watch the mannings

Remove Eli. He has a face you just want to punch 👊🏽!!

Get it off espn so they don’t have to be censored and stop the stupid fucking ads and people would love it

This game has major playoff implications, so lets talk to Ray Romano about his new comedy with Tim Allen. So you're a pair of dads over 60, is that right?

Because it’s awkward and not interesting

I’M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL I AM HEAR TO TALK ABOUT MY BOOK WITH LIFE CHANGING ADVICE

I got stuck watching it one time as it was the only stream available and it was SO bad. Barely even talk about the game at all, it was like trying to watch a game while a random YouTube video plays over it.

Turns out people might actually just want to watch the game.

At this point it's not like hanging with friends watching football, it's like watching rich people watch football and sell you shit and talk about anything but the game.

Sorry but I'd rather drink beers and eat wings with the bros and have fun than be bored to literal death watching these two and their guests.

One big ad. And you gotta pay to see the show? Yeah.. no.

Play by play announcing is important to me.

I turn on the Manningcast very rarely just to get a glimpse of it, but they would have to be unreasonably funny/insightful to make me give up a play by play announcer.

I’m an absolute die hard nfl fan who loves the manning brothers and I never made it past the first manningcast. To me it always felt like they missed

They should be in the same room

They had a good thing going and are ruining it with boring guests that talk about anything but the game.

More and more viewers leave and don’t bother coming back when they do that.

I don’t like the Manning cast. I like hearing the crowd noise and the “football sounds” instead of guys talking.

They need to be in the same room together. They are always stepping on each other's words. I don't want Manning take, I want to feel like I'm in a man cave watching football with the Brady killer bunch.

Best guest so far was Aaron Rodgers, regardless of what you think of him personally. They talked football and it was entertaining. They need to have former players. Thats really the only time i get excited

lol… I fucking love it.

Also did anyone catch Peyton’s set up joke about the Jets last night on the CMAs?

Fitzmagic was an awesome guest, they had a great balance of discussing the play with expert insight but also throwing in humor

The resent games haven't been very good.

Literally love the show but for me I want to be able to see the game at all times on the screen. I don’t mind seeing them on the screen just keep the game on the screen. They are funny and the show is great they just cut away from the game to much

I would love a show that had a lot of really detailed and insightful analysis from former players as the game played out live.

I have no interest in former players trying to be late night talk show hosts.
