ESPN confirms second season of ‘Peyton’s Places’

Peyton Manning is continuing his ‘Peyton’s Places’ project with ESPN, agreeing to film a second season.

Peyton Manning won’t serve as a commentator for “Monday Night Football” this fall but he’s going to continue his working relationship with ESPN.

Manning announced last month that ESPN hoped to film a second season of Peyton’s Places “once things get back to normal.” On ESPN’s official Twitter account on Wednesday, Manning announced that a second season has been officially confirmed.

“Hi there, Peyton Manning here,” Manning said in the Twitter video. “I’m here to celebrate National Day of Streaming. Now, you’re probably saying to yourself, ‘Isn’t every day National Day of Streaming these days?’ And I think you’re right — but this is actually the official one.

“So, in honor of the occasion, I’m thrilled to announce that Peyton’s Places will be returning to ESPN Plus for a second season. That’s right, so be sure to get ESPN Plus so you can stream Peyton’s Places Season 1 and get ready for the upcoming Season 2. Thanks very much, stay safe.”

The 30-episode first season received mostly positive reviews from fans.

Manning, 44, won Super Bowls with the Colts and Broncos during his 18-year career. He will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.

ESPN plans to make a second season of ‘Peyton’s Places’

Peyton Manning says Disney hopes to film a second season of ‘Peyton’s Places’ for ESPN Plus.

Can’t get enough of Peyton’s Places on ESPN Plus? Good news — the show is planning to film a second season!

“Telling the history of the NFL for the last 100 years was a lot of fun and hopefully, when things get back to normal, we’re going to shoot for Season 2,” Manning said during an appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Sunday. “[We’ll] finish some of the stories that we didn’t get to tell last year. So, hopefully once things get back to normal, we can get a chance to do that.”

Manning said breaking down film with Joe Nameth was the most memorable part of the series for him.

“To sit down and watch Super Bowl III with Joe Nameth, to watch the actual game film, I could have done that for a week,” Manning said.

The 30-episode show has received mostly positive reviews from football fans. Here’s what Cindy Ellenbecker had to say on Google:

I’d give 10 stars if I could. My husband was given the ESPN+ subscription for Christmas specifically so that he could watch Peyton’s Places. So far, we have seen about 7 of them and they are fantastic! Hearing the old stories, seeing the old clips and seeing Peyton Manning talking to the heros of football is priceless. Each segment is informative and humorous. You could not have found a better host for this tribute to the NFL’s 100th Anniversary! I hope that you will make this series available in a DVD set someday so that I can give it to my Dad who would love this but does not have a smart TV or computer.

Manning, 44, won Super Bowls with the Colts and Broncos during his 18-year career. He will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.

Tonight TCU is traveling to Lawrence, Kansas to take on the #1 Kansas Jayhawks at the Allen Fieldhouse.

Tonight TCU is traveling to Lawrence, Kansas to take on the #1 Kansas Jayhawks at the Allen Fieldhouse. Backed by the nation’s best defense Kansas will look to end the season strong against the Horned Frogs, who are also coming off a big win over the Baylor Bears.

TCU Horned Frogs vs #1 Kansas Jayhawks (-16)

Date: March 4, 2020

Tip-Off: 8:00pm ET

Where: Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence KS

Live Stream: ESPN+( Sign up Now)

Desmond Bane seemed unstoppable last game against Baylor putting up 23 points and knocking off the Bears. TCU will need another performance from Bane to be able to contend against the number one Kansas Jayhawks, especially at home.

The Jayhawks have been crushing teams at home as of late, winning their last three games by an average of 20.7 points. They beat up on TCU in their first meeting 60-46 earlier last month. TCU has also had some big wins over their last three games so they need to come out on fire to compete with Kansas.

Probable Starters

No. 1 Kansas

G – Devon Dotson, 6-2, 185, Soph.

G – Ochai Agbaji, 6-5, 210, Soph.

G – Isaiah Moss, 6-5, 208, Sr.

G – Marcus Garrett, 6-5, 195, Jr.

C – Udoka Azubuike, 7-0, 265, Sr.

TCU

G – Edric Dennis Jr., 6-3, 190, Sr.

G – Desmond Bane, 6-6, 215, Sr.

G – P.J. Fuller, 6-4, 175, Fr.

G – Jaire Grayer, 6-5, 210, Sr.

C – Kevin Samuel, 6-11, 250, Soph.

Prediction: With Kansas beating teams at home at a clip of 20 plus points you have to take the Jayhawks in this one. I think the Horned Frogs will be drained after knocking off a couple surprise teams over the last three games. Pick: Kansas Jayhawks (-16)

UFC 246: Conor McGregor vs Cowboy Cerrone, Preview, Fight Card, Live Stream, How to Watch

Watch UFC 246 Live Online.

The first UFC fight of 2020 is upon us and it’s a big one. Conor McGregor will be returning to the octagon on Saturday night in beautiful Las Vegas to take on Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in a welterweight bout that almost everyone will be watching.

McGregor vs Cowboy

  • Date: 1/18/19
  • Location: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas
  • Prelims: 8:00 PM ET
  • Main Card: 10:00 PM ET
  • Live Stream: ESPN+ ( Sign up Now)

Cowboy will be looking for an upset against McGregor but he will need a lot to go his way if this is to happen. Cerrone has become less durable and really easy to hit which is not a great combo when coming into a comeback fight versus McGregor.

McGregor will be looking for a quick win in this match because if it does go longer than two rounds he may have some trouble with Cowboy. Conor will want to set an example as soon as he gets into the ring and I’ll look for the Irish with the win in this big matchup that everybody has been waiting for.

Main Card (ESPN+ PPV at 10 p.m. ET)

  • Conor McGregor  vs. Donald Cerrone
  • Holly Holm vs. Raquel Pennington
  • Aleksei Oleinik vs. Maurice Greene
  • Anthony Pettis  vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira
  • Brian Kelleher  vs. Ode Osbourne

Disney+ vs. Netflix: Which is the best streaming service?

Breaking down everything you need to know about the Disney+ vs. Netflix debate, including which one is better for sports fans.

Today, Disney+ launched to the delight of people who love Star Wars, Marvel, and anyone with small children. Disney’s new standalone streaming service gives users access to pretty much their entire back catalog, along with National Geographic, as well as the aforementioned blockbuster series they’ve purchased.

It’s also got a lot of people asking: How does it compare to the existing streaming services?

In this article we’ll look at the Disney+ vs. Netflix debate. We’ll look at what each offers, and compare price and interface. We’ll give a final verdict for people out there, and have a special analysis for sports fans.

Let’s get to it.

Which has better offerings?

Right now, by a nose, we have to give it to Netflix. Netflix has spent aggressively on original content, and has also invested in a lot of classic films

Disney+ comes out of the gate in second place, already surpassing Hulu. It’s got the Disney back catalogue, as well as everything from the Marvel cinematic universe, Star Wars, and National Geographic. This does leave blind spots — any movies that are older and outside of a few major franchises are basically going to be kids’ movies, and their TV offerings can’t get close to Netflix yet. But this is a strong start.

As for other things out there: Hulu is a fine option. It’s got some interesting TV shows and gets TV offerings much quicker than Netflix does. And as we’ll share in a second, you can actually get it with Disney+, which may be the best way to go.

Price?

Disney+ is available for $6.99 a month to start, with an annual option for $69.99. This is considerably less than Netflix’s current cost of $12.99 a month, and will be the difference maker for a lot of people.

And Disney+ also came over the top with another option: You can have Disney+, Hulu, AND ESPN+ all for $12.99. I already pay for ESPN+ (you can read our review of ESPN+ here), so for me, this option is a no-brainer.

Ease of use?

We haven’t had too much time to play around with Disney+ yet, but the format seems intuitive and nice to use. Netflix has had years to perfect the way they share content with you, and their search option works great, but Netflix also has an annoying feature where it auto-loads previews and starts playing video when you’re just trying to browse, which drives me nuts.

So I guess we’ll give it to Disney+ for now.

Final verdict

If you have to choose between one, I think I give the slight edge to Disney+, with a big caveat — if you don’t have small children and aren’t a huge comic book film fan, you might be frustrated with what they offer at first. Netflix has more original programming, and much better TV offerings. Hulu I don’t think compares to either, but as a tack-on to Disney+, might well be worth it.

Plus, if you love sports, the Disney+ / Hulu / ESPN+ deal is a ton of great content and live sports programming for the same cost you’re paying for Netflix now.
