    Two boring middle-aged dudes talking football in between plays on a couch for 3 hours isn’t entertaining.

    IM sure it has nothing to do with the state of the primetime games in the NFL this year. I love the manningcast, especially over aikmans weird commentary this year, but ther was basically only two good games all year…,

    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.

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

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

    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

    Also doesn’t help that you’ve had some really shitty teams/matchups on MNF

    I mean the Giants were there and we only put up 3 points that Monday night, who the hell wants to watch that

    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.

    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
