Because it’s terrible. They need a moderator.

[–] Status_Serve8287@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I prefer them over the regular Monday night announcers lol

[–] Stein_Time@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The show was great when it was their perspectives as QBs analyzing the game. Its now just a TV show that has football on the side.

For me personally I don’t watch it anymore, part of that is MNF now has good announcers. When the Manningcast first appeared they were better then the actual MNF announcers.

[–] bigredadam@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I rather watch them and do every Monday, ya maybe the guests can be limited. it also is only certain games. it's the best tweak to football in years

[–] 8each8oys@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To be fair, once ESPN got their shit together and landed Buck and Aikman, I didn't need the ManningCast any longer.

[–] Random3lem3nt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I watch so much football that i find it refreshing to put on the Manningcast on Monday Nights.

The show is at its best when the guests are either Football players talking tactics with the Mannings or celebrity fans with knowledge and passion for their team.

[–] anon135797531@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A lot of complaints about the guests in this thread. IMO the mannings just don’t have the necessary charisma

[–] 50eggmafia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If it were always with present and past players, sign me up. Keyshawn this past Monday was fantastic. I can do without all of the celebrity plugs and bullshit.

[–] carnage3232@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They should limit guests to current and former football players because Arnold was awful but Trevor Lawrence was a great guest

[–] NeverDieKris@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The novelty has warn off. The dream Monday night crew would be the Manning bros, Pat Mcafee, and Mike Tirico.

[–] Schnookybear@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In Canada you have to pay a premium to view this.

[–] TigerCat9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well my wife, my two kids, and I love it and always watch it.

We could all watch it on different TVs if that would help the numbers.

[–] BaNoCo92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Put them on multiple platforms.

[–] kvaldez10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was a cool SCHTICK at first. Now it’s just getting old and annoying. Somewhat like the hosts. Sorry not sorry.

[–] Obvious_Exercise_910@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Two brothers with a combined 34 years playing QB in the NFL, 6 SB appearances and 4 wins… I want to be a fly in the wall as they watch the game and talk back and forth with one another. With the guests there is so much conversation you can’t follow the game.

It was also be awesome if they had their own production - as they are just commenting over the original feed they don’t know what replays are coming, angles etc. I know it would add a big cost but if they had a good producer and it was their own feed this would be epic. I’d love to hear them break down certain plays/coverages etc.

Enough talent with those two - keep it the Manning cast, not Manning’s plus guest.

[–] Wackdiesel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They just talk shit àbout whoever....They are royalty in their minds....

[–] sister4sale@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When the manning cast dies. I hope both Kelce brothers have retired and we can get the Kelce cast.

[–] Jacksonrr31@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was watching a replay of the Monday night game between 49ers and Vikings. It started off interesting when they were breaking down the plays. But then they just started having all these different guests on and were not even talking about the game anymore. I quickly lost interest.

[–] commenter_69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I watched probably about 3-4 Manning Casts in each of the 2021 and 2022 seasons, but haven’t watched a single one this year. Have just had no real desire to

[–] bcgg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well yeah, 4 out of their 5 games have featured some god awful teams. Jets x 2, Giants and pre-JCD firing Raiders.

[–] speghettiday09@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love the manningcast but definitely don’t watch it when my team plays in mnf.

[–] Richard__Cranium@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I bet the ratings would be higher on a non cable channel. I used to pay for YouTube TV or any other the other random TV streaming services during the football season just to watch football. It's not worth the experience ass amounts they charge now.

Get rid of guests and put it on something I can get with a shitty antenna and I'll go back to watching.

[–] LeadSledPoodle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The match ups have been okay-to-bad for ManningCasts so far. I'm not going to watch the Bills beat up on the Broncos next week, and I live in Denver.

[–] Rich-ucf23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They need to put it on ESPN plus. No one watches ESPN 2. Better metric is what else would be in its place

[–] SayNoToStim@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Terminator 2 is my favorite movie. I love Arnold as an actor.

But what the fuck is he doing on the show?

[–] JohnsonMachine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They need to get rid of the guests. Maybe have them come for halftime. I’d rather have them talk about the game.

[–] jamesdeniro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Might help if the MNF games weren’t garbo this season.

[–] MooMooHeffer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The casual fans won’t stick around forever. Stop pandering to them.

[–] HiYoSiiiiiilver@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who tf wants to watch a football game with Eli and Peyton’s heads on screen talking nonstop and their little family inside jokes. Has to be the most annoying way to watch a game

[–] Emotional-Key-653@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How much do they get paid to do this show?

[–] bear_knuckle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Didn’t even know manningcast was a thing

[–] yooosports29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because nobody wants the guests

[–] T4lsin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I enjoy the manning cast. Would like less guests.

[–] HermDog04@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, the reason why I watched the Manningcast was because ESPN’s commentating crew was so ass. Once they got Buck and Aikman, the commentary has been way better in my opinion, so I watch the actual broadcast more now. Still tune in to the Manningcast every now and then (especially when the game is boring like last week), but I don’t have as much of an incentive to watch it anymore.

[–] tony8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let's put it back on ESPN+

[–] remindmewho@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The problem is that the guests are lagged so badly that they end up talking over each other constantly. It's cringy. And then half the guests' audio is so bad you can't hear them at all.

[–] tootsie404@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And ESPN,/Disney when you do bring a guest on please provide them a decent mic setup. Aaron Rodgers was talking through dial-up until he pulled out 2013 earphones from the drawer

[–] tootsie404@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The show should have a laid-back podcast vibe. It's why the mannings are literally talking to you from their couches.

[–] Klutzy_Turnip4564@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

ESPN is always laying off season journalists only to pay meathead jocks tens of millions of dollars. Bizarre

[–] superbear19@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a Canadian they moved it off TV onto a app that you have to pay for

[–] Vividlarvae@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I only want to watch when they are talking to other quarterbacks, for the most part they get in the way of watching the game. Doesn’t help that their competition for the game is Troy and Buck who are actually one of the better booths in football imo

[–] Poetryisalive@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Imo just keep it straight athletes
