This is the second season for the NFL greats Peyton Manning and Eli Manning calling plays on ESPN in collaboration with the Omaha productions. And clearly, ManningCast has attracted a wide range of audience. This seems to be the motivation behind Amazon introducing a new project to stream on its Prime platform, which will feature one of the greatest athletes of the current era.
The show called “TNF in the Shop” will debut on November 17. Amazon recently announced that it had partnered with NBA star, LeBron James’ The Shop: Uninterrupted. It will provide a new experience for fans worldwide.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome The Shop to the Thursday Night Football family and work alongside UNINTERRUPTED to deliver a new viewing experience for fans of both the NFL and The Shop,” Prime Video Sports’ representative said in an interview via The Streamable.
“With ‘TNF in The Shop,’ we are honored to deepen that fan experience through organic, authentic conversation, and look forward to its premiere on November 17,” the post reads. The Titans visiting the Packers will be the debut game for James and Co. Per reports, the show will continue to maintain its present format with James and Maverick Carter interviewing celebrities.
The guests will include stars from the pop and music world, Hollywood, and many more giving a versatile experience to the fans. Moreover, the hosts won’t just provide live commentary, but they will also share raw stories and personal experiences in their day-to-day life. So fans can expect first-hand reactions from the experts related to hot subjects in the NFL world.
Fans react to LeBron James signing a new project
One of the main concerns fans pointed out is that LeBron James himself is going through a tough regular season, managing the show would be a difficult job. Fans also pointed out that the Lakers are yet to win a game in NBA as of now, so LeBron should focus more on his game.

However, few of them were amused by how he will manage the games.
So the lakers just won’t play on Thursday’s ?

While few of them went too harsh on the veteran, crossing the limits.
As always, I hope lebron fails in all his endeavors.

He is trying to brand himself as Malcolm X or Muhammad Ali. He’s not.
