The former seven-time Super Bowl winner and former head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, media career will begin with Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli alternate broadcasts, and he will appear every week on the award winning show.
The Hall of Famer quarterback, Peyton Manning, announced during “The Pat McAfee Show” that the decorated head coach will join the ManningCast in the first quarter of each episode.
“If you ever run out of things to say, just make fun of Eli.” 🤣

Manning mentioned, as per NY Post, “Bill is going to be a permanent guest on every ManningCast show early in the game, probably the first quarter, to kind of take people behind the ropes of what the defense has to do or what this quarterback’s challenges are. I can’t tell you the advantage of having a defensive coach to take the quarterback behind the ropes … Bill’s gonna do that. I think the audience is going to be fascinated by how smart he is.”
He further continued, “It was an easy pitch to Bill. I said, ‘Bill, we want you to come on. Look, we’d love to go behind the ropes on the defensive side as to kind of what the Eagles are going to have to do to stop Patrick Mahomes, right?’ To make Belichick feel more at ease, Manning was quick to offer up a roast to Eli as a go-to. ‘And if you ever run out of things to say, just make fun of Eli, right? That’s always sort of a time-filler.’ And Bill doesn’t like Eli. We all know that — two Super Bowls — so it’s just a match made in heaven.”
The two-time Super Bowl champion, five-time league’s MVP, Manning, further shared how one of the most decorated head coaches in the league, Belichick, is “quick-witted” and “funny” and stated that he is “brilliant” considering his foresight on defense and offense. The report of Belichick joining a football show with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions was mentioned earlier by The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.
