The brothers and former NFL quarterbacks Payton and Eli Manning are not ready to withdraw from the game because they are preparing to co-host the backup broadcast of “Monday Night Football” on ESPN2.
The Walt Disney Company, the parent company of ABC and ESPN, confirmed on Monday that the Manning duo has agreed to broadcast 10 games per season for the next three seasons.
Partners include Payton’s Omaha production company, which will help with the business. Manning Broadcasting will be conducted remotely, but the details of the alternative program have not yet been announced.
Peyton Manning has long been sought by multiple networks as a game analyst, and the new partnership will enable him to use his advanced knowledge of games and sense of humor on the booth. The standard broadcast will be broadcast on ESPN, and the Manning Brothers will compete on ESPN2 and ESPN+.
