Dear Manningcast intern or producer who is tasked with monitoring this thread.
You have taken an amazing concept and overproduced the hell out of it. You literally have two incredible football minds watching a game together and somehow managed to make it not compelling and not about football.
Some ideas work really well. The giant head prediction board is great because it is about the game. Demonstrations of “behind the scenes” information is perfect. Other football players(or people who really know football) that talk ball and share experiences are great. They can even cut off a story to comment on a play in real time.
Having late show type guests that get asked cringe worthy questions are not interesting in this format. I know some producer is tasked with “increasing our meme worthy content to attract audience numbers from a certain demo to expand the reach of the brand” or some similar corporate bullshit buzzwords. Make a another athlete podcast if you need to, but the game is such a huge part of this format.
Peyton and ELI usually have good instincts about this so hopefully they can override some producer and get this product back to a watchable state.
It’s a jab at Nick Wright who thinks he is mediocre until he fulfills a certain set of conditions like being behind by a certain amount in the fourth quarter and bringing his team back without the help of his star players.
Dumb shit, but it’s a hot take from “sports media personality.”
