Week One - 2021

I started out on the regular broadcast. I flipped over and The Manning Cast was rough at times but got better as the show went on.

They had Charles Barkley, Ray Lewis, Travis Kelce and Russ as guests. I think Russ was the best of the four - but, and this happened with all guests, the conversations were stunted at times because they'd interrupt one another.

The regular broadcast is meh. I like Riddick and that's about it.

meh is the perfect word for the broadcast...it feels like a nondescript sunday afternoon game. its fine. it doesnt suck like it did a few years ago, but it doesnt have the big game feel cbs fox nbc have with their top teams.

espn is not committed to this team long term but right now dont have anything else better so theyll go with the group that isnt getting roasted on twitter. massive step up for them.

the manning stuff was good at times but it very much felt like a dvd commentary. theyre not at the game and jumping all over the place. i stuck with the regular broadcast for most of 4Q because you just cant get the emotion and feel of the game when its 2 guys in studio and 1 on zoom. good additive broadcast all in all. ill repeat i came away thinking peyton would be monstrously good as a traditional color guy. of course he could be doing that if he wanted, lord knows hes had the offers.

farg is wrong with you MAGA people??

Lol.  The NFL on tv is barely tolerable with the sound muted.  But sure, more ex-jocks screaming over each other.  That'll make it better.

No idea how or why anyone would watch those shows. Just talk for the sake of talk and very few original or necessary insights. Seems like a literal waste of time to me.
