Why is there no Manningcast for Monday Night Football on week 4?
Two games wrap up the Week 4 action this evening but the Manning Brothers will be taking a well earned night off.
The 2024 NFL Week 4 action concludes tonight - first up in Miami where the Dolphins (1-2) take on the Titans (0-3) then up to Detroit with the Lions (2-1) hosting Mike Macdonald’s unbeaten Seahawks (3-0).
The fourth week of Monday Night Football this season and the second without the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli and their keen-eyed insight, commentary, analysis and breakdown of tactics and strategy. However, there is no Manningcast scheduled for tonight.
Bill Belichick to feature in all 11 episodes
At the start of this month, the brothers announced the full schedule for the 2024 NFL season with a 10-minute video titled “ManningCast: The Musical”, which featured sports stars and celebrities such as Bob Iger, Archie Manning, Jimmy Kimmel, Snoop Dogg, Olivia Dunne, Andy Reid and Pete Davidson. In the video, the Manning brothers state their desire to win a Tony Award before breaking out into a theatrical Broadway performance.
The Manning brothers have signed up for 10 regular season episodes of the ManningCast, including the double header with the Ravens at Buccaneers and Chargers at Cardinals in Week 7 on 21 October. Peyton and Eli will also be providing commentary for a Wild Card game between teams to be determined in January.
Bill Belichick stars in every episode, adding his own expert views along with two other celebrity guests - usually former players and football-loving stars from the entertainment world.
