The Mannings

[Redsfan_83]

My girls had hockey practice last night and my wife recorded the Manning broadcast not being aware of other options....who forced themselves to watch this?

I didn't mind Payton at all, he was pretty much unbias but having to watch Eli, Pat and the half drunk comedian was very painful. If you are going to be on a broadcast, is it not your job to not be a cheerleader? Eli was critical at times, and I didn't mind him too much but I don't get the ESPN fascination with having to trot the brothers out week after week. Maybe it's just me...?

Its not just you; but remember the media's east coast orientation; and thus its love affair with Eli. ESPN has been extremely stupid for some years now.

They are way better than having to listen to Joe Buck

Pat McAfee is hilarious, and Peyton is brilliant. I enjoy hearing those two talk during a game.
