Manningcast Part 2?

A surprisingly large number of fans seem to think that the show is a replica of Manningcast.

ESPN’s alternative stream has been very successful in its Monday Night Football coverage. Starring Peyton and Eli Manning, the show has been quite a success.

While it is no surprise that Prime Video wants to amp up its coverage on Thursday Night, fans are left wondering if this show will be any good after all. The show will kick off during the Tennessee Titans vs Green Bay Packers broadcast.
