MNF With the Manning Brothers

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rob:
The last two weeks I thought I didn't have ESPN2 so I haven't checked this out yet, turns out I was just looking at the wrong channel where I thought it used to be.  I'm definitely switching over to them next week.  Levy and Griese and the third guy are boring, pedestrian... cliche... it's sad how far MNF has fallen since Gruden and Tirico left.

I flipped back and forth a few times between broadcasts but ended up watching 90% with the Mannings.  The main crew is just so stiff and boring, and the Mannings are pretty good and funny.

One thing I do wish they would do with the Mannings is not necessarily show their Zoom call faces quite as much.  They should just have the game on without as much Manning face time.  There usually isn't a ton to see with the Mannings unless they've got a guest on that is really animated like Pat McAfee.  Maybe pull their faces up periodically during slower times of the game.

I'll keep mostly watching the Mannings going forward.

Ditto to all that.  They are definitely better than the regular announcers, but the show is a kind of low production in terms of pulling it all together.  There are a number of times where you're just looking at "E" and "Pey" as they watch the game and no one is saying anything.  That would just look a lot better if they went full screen to the game versus the awkward silence (though sometimes that's part of whta's funny).  Love the commentary with them breaking down defenses and the guest stars.  I'll keep watching ESPN2 on MNF.

I'd love to see the ratings of the two broadcasts to see which is better.  My guess is that ESPN2 is blowing the regular MNF broadcast out of the water!

GrandMoffNick:
I enjoy this as a gimmick here and there but will take the "regular" broadcast for a majority of the game.

I don't know how they compare, but I did read that the Manning broadcast doubled in ratings from week 1 to week 2.
