Fans wondering how often Bill Belichick will appear on ESPN’s “ManningCast” don’t have to guess or wait for each week’s guest schedule. The six-time Super Bowl winner will be in every episode of the alternative broadcast of “Monday Night Football” during the next season, according to Peyton Manning.
Manning appeared on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday and revealed that Belichick will appear on every “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” and will likely join the show early each time, likely in the first quarter. So viewers won’t have to wait long to see the former New England Patriots coach share the vision of him with Peyton and Eli Manning.
“That’s the idea, that Bill will be a permanent guest on every ‘ManningCast’ show at the beginning of the game, probably in the first quarter,” Manning explained, “to take people behind the ropes as to what this defense Must do”. do or what the quarterback’s challenges are.
“It was an easy pitch for Bill. I told him, ‘Bill, we want you to come. Look, we’d love to go behind the ropes on the defensive end to find out what the Eagles are going to have to do to stop Patrick Mahomes, right?’ “Manning added. “‘And if you ever run out of things to say, just make fun of Eli, right? That’s always kind of a waste of time.’ And Bill doesn’t like Eli. We all know that, two Super Bowls, so “It’s a match made in heaven.”
As has been the case with the previous three seasons of “ManningCast,” produced with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, the alternative broadcast will not air every week of the NFL campaign. The show is scheduled for 10 games during the season and probably a wild card playoff game.
