Ex-Giants assistant Bill Belichick will be a regular on the ManningCast
The ManningCast, ESPN’s alternative Monday Night Football broadcast hosted by New York Giants legend Eli Manning and his brother, Peyton, will return with 11 episodes in 2024.
There will be a new wrinkle to the Emmy Award-winning show this season as Eli and Peyton will be joined by former Giants defensive coordinator Bill Belichick on each episode.
ESPN revealed on Wednesday that Belichick will appear during the first half of all 11 broadcasts this coming season as part of his expanded media role.
From the Boston Globe:
Belichick’s partnership with the “ManningCast” is even more compelling. He will be a guest on all 11 editions of the program, hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning, over the course of the season, beginning with the Sept. 9 matchup between the Jets and 49ers.
Belichick will join the show shortly after it begins and stay through the first half, with an assortment of celebrities and other guests coming on in the second half of the games.
Belichick will also join Peyton on Fridays for a new series called The Breakdown, where the pair preview the upcoming Monday Night Football contest.
“One of the things we ask ourselves is, ‘What would it be really cool to hear Bill talk about?'” said Steve Menzel, senior producer and showrunner. “It’s kind of like game-planning to put these guys in the best spots to bring out the best in each other and build that camaraderie.”
Although Belichick grew to fame during his time as head coach of the New England Patriots, he remains particularly fond of his 12 years with the Giants. And alongside Eli, Monday Night Football will now have a very distinct Big Blue feel to it.
