Eli Manning’s adorable dog crashed the ManningCast during Ravens-Bucs

What a good boy!

The ManningCast got a surprise visitor during its Baltimore Ravens-Tampa Bay Buccaneers broadcast.

As Eli Manning was running a drill for the viewers at home with instructions from Peyton Manning, the former’s golden retriever Hank decided to crash the broadcast for some playtime.

Hank is a very, very good boy, and he should be allowed to crash the ManningCast whenever he wants.

He did a wonderful job being a very good boy on the show, and we hope Eli Manning gave him lots of cookies and belly scratches after his surprise television appearance.

Honestly, let’s just bring out as many dogs as possible on all football broadcasts from here on out. This is the way.

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins learned unusual habit from Peyton Manning

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins picked up an unusual habit from Peyton Manning..

One thing that has become evident about Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins over the first six weeks of the season is that he’s unapologetically himself. Whether he’s swag surfing or showing teammates how to jam out to 20-year-old emo hits, Cousins is extremely comfortable in his own skin.

The veteran quarterback was signed by Atlanta to bring stability and leadership to a young but talented Falcons offense. Thus far, Cousins has done his job, leading the team to a third consecutive win in Week 6 to improve to 4-2 on the season.

Cousins is all about attention to detail and has an unusual method of communicating with his coaches and teammates. The former Michigan State QB enjoys using voice memos to share his thoughts, a habit he picked up from NFL legend Peyton Manning.

Manning, known for his extreme attention to detail during his 17-year career, dominated the league for well over a decade. The former No. 1 overall pick racked up 71,940 passing yards, 539 touchdowns and 251 interceptions for the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts.

When Manning was in Denver, he used to exhaust former Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase with his constant questions and messages. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris can relate.

“I can’t take the voice memos,” Morris told reporters last week. “He just calls me or texts me with whatever he needs.”

Cousins’ attention to detail has helped him put up some impressive stats of his own, passing for 41,068 yards, 279 touchdowns and 115 interceptions over his 13-year NFL career.

The Falcons will look to keep their winning streak going in Week 7 when they host the Seattle Seahawks at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Peyton Manning will co-host 58th CMA Awards on Nov. 20

Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning will co-host the CMA Awards alongside Luke Bryan and Lanie Wilson on Nov. 20.

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning continues to stay busy in retirement.

The Country Music Association announced in a press release last month that Manning would help co-host the 58th annual CMA Awards ceremony alongside country music superstars Luke Bryan and Lanie Wilson.

Manning is no stranger to co-hosting the event, as he co-hosted alongside Bryan in 2022 and 2023.

Manning is a noted country music fan. He has appeared at numerous Morgan Wallen concerts across the country, and went to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, a short drive from Nashville, home of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Manning has also previously showed his talents at leading music, as he was the first player in Tennessee history to lead the band in the university’s fight song, “Rocky Top.”

You can watch Bryan and Manning’s opening monologue from the 2023 CMA Awards below:

Tune into the 58th presentation of the CMA Awards on Nov. 20 on ABC.

Bill Belichick really wanted to accuse Peyton Manning and the Colts of pumping in fake crowd noise 17 years ago

He just couldn’t resist.

Bill Belichick was a guest on Monday night’s ManningCast to take in the Week 5 matchup between the Chiefs and Saints. And while Belichick and Peyton Manning have crossed paths many times over the years, the former Patriots head coach just couldn’t resist a chance to roast the Colts.

Even if he was likely making an accusation up.

During the first quarter, Peyton asked Belichick how he was able to simulate the Arrowhead Stadium crowd noise in preparation for playing the Chiefs. But instead of focusing on Arrowhead — the Guinness World Record holder for loudest outdoor crowd roar — Belichick revisited a Colts-related controversy from 2007.

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1843468667142767060

He said:

“Well, I’ll tell ya, Peyton, the crowd noise there at Arrowhead wasn’t as bad as it was when you guys piped in music at the RCA Dome. And then when the crowd noise skipped, that’s how we knew you were pumping it in.”

Belichick was referring to a 2007 matchup between the Colts and Patriots where the league looked into an accusation that the Colts were pumping in fake crowd noise. The league and CBS both found that the issue was specific to the broadcast — where the crowd audio skipped — and not something people in the stadium were actually hearing.

So, it was a bit odd to hear Belichick make up a part of that story. Now, had he said that to Matt Ryan, he would’ve had a point because the Falcons *did* get caught for pumping in fake noise. Atlanta forfeited a 2016 fifth-round pick for that violation.

The Colts, though, were cleared of wrongdoing.

Bill Belichick roasts Peyton Manning and Colts on national television

This Bill Belichick zinger was masterful

Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick hasn’t forgotten about the alleged fake crowd noise being pumped into the RCA Dome during Peyton Manning’s legendary run with the Indianapolis Colts.

When appearing on ManningCast for the Monday Night Football game between the Kansas City Cheifs and New Orleans Saints, Belichick cooked up the perfect roast for Manning and the Colts following a comment about the loud crowd noise at Arrowhead Stadium.

“Well, I’ll tell you, Peyton, the crowd noise there at Arrowhead wasn’t as bad as it was when you guys piped in music at the RCA Dome. When the crowd noise skipped, that’s how we knew when you were pumping it in,” said Belichick.

It was a zinger for the ages for Belichick, who seems to be growing more comfortable as a television personality. Honestly, this might be the most fun version of Belichick we have ever seen.

Patrick Mahomes ruined Paul Rudd’s ManningCast segment by throwing a pick to Saints’ Khalen Saunders

Not like this, Paul Rudd. Not like this.

Kansas City Chiefs superfan Paul Rudd picked the wrong time to join the ManningCast on Monday night.

Rudd hopped on with Peyton and Eli Manning to discuss his team’s Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints, but his appearance immediately went in the wrong direction at no fault of his own.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a shocking pick to Saints defensive tackle (and former Kansas City player) Khalen Saunders, and Rudd looked truly devastated as he watched the whole play unfold with the Manning brothers.

What stung even more was Rudd predicted Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster would score a touchdown right before the interception. That’s who Mahomes targeted on the play before Saunders picked the quarterback off.

You have to watch Rudd process this lowlight in the moment because it’s just priceless.

A Taylor Swift crowd shot inspired Bill Belichick to sass Travis Kelce on the ManningCast

A sassy Bill Belichick is the best Bill Belichick.

The ManningCast virtually took in Monday night’s Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints game, which music superstar Taylor Swift attended to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

During Bill Belichick’s latest ManningCast appearance, one of the ESPN game cameras cut to a shot of Swift cheering Kelce on in one of the Arrowhead Stadium suites.

The ManningCast went silent when Swift hit the screen until Belichick let out a playful “Ugh!” before delivering a perfectly smarmy reaction at Kelce’s expense.

“Big first half for Kelce, too big, too big,” Belichick quipped to laughter from Peyton and Eli Manning.

Well, if that isn’t the most pricelessly awkward moment of NFL broadcasting we’ll see this week, we’re not sure what is.

Peyton Manning threw up a sympathetic surrender cobra to Derek Carr’s horrific MNF pick

Peyton Manning couldn’t believe this.

The New Orleans Saints didn’t get off to the best start against the hosting Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

While Saints running back Alvin Kamara played quite well on the opening drive, quarterback Derek Carr threw a duck of an interception to Chiefs safety Bryan Cook that gave Kansas City its first offensive possession.

During the night’s ManningCast, Peyton Manning watched Carr’s pick with absolute shock and disgust at how badly the Saints quarterback erred on the decision.

Manning even threw up a sympathetic surrender cobra at just how rough the interception looked from his vantage point.

It’s one of those throws where you genuinely don’t understand what the quarterback is doing, as Manning looked absolutely befuddled at what had just happened in Kansas City. His reaction really spoke volumes.
