Peyton looks like he’s about to cry when Eli is praising him for like a minute straight. great moment .
Yep, he held it in
Absolutely beautiful
There older brother had a career ending injury & peyton was so heartbroken he said he wished it happened to him instead of his brother. That's all you need to know about Peyton manning
Truly a wonderful moment.
The look in Peyton's eyes when Eli is talking about him and their family is the look of unconditional love for a family member. He is obviously his lil bro forever.
Came here to comment this. Awesome to see. They are truly America's family
right when eli said “wow.. my brothers pretty freaking awesome” you could see peyton hold back a tear. love the mannings
Coming from a Philadelphia fan, that’s high praise.
@@angelusgnz5784 hell I was holding back a tear lol
never beat florida hahaha
The Manning family is just the best
The pride in Peyton's eyes says a lot about how close this family really is.
Mr&Mrs. Manning did a phenomenal job raising ALL of these young men. No matter how successful these guys are they are still polite, intelligent, funny as heck. That can only come from a healthy, relaxed, supportive environment. They deserve ALL that they do.
Isn't that the truth. So great!!
Parent Hall of Famers both for sure
Good, famous parents + good, famous kids = (apparently) a very pleasant family dynamic 😁😅
hell*
@@adhynugroho9424 makes it even more impressive ARchie and his wife pulled it off
2 of the nicest, classiest guys ever. Congrats to their parents.
2 of the greatest humble athletes you will see. It's a beautiful thing.
12:50 mark. Peyton looks so humbled. I can only imagine. I don't think Ely has ever talked like that about how Peyton influenced him like this.
That MNF broadcast was EPIC!!!!!!!!! Game changer for MNF. Can't wait until next week. Well done guys.
Yup it's like a movie commentary track just with something that interests me instead 🤣
There are people watching people eat, there are people watching people watch TV, we are now watching history
Both of these guys, number one overall picks, NOW,the nephew, has the path to do the same. WOW, what a family bloodline
Getting into that family is now like marrying into an aristocratic family
america’s don’t have royalty... but these guys and a few others are like our version
Plus their dad was a 2nd overall pick
Plus, their pop was a great qb who played on a poor team.
They're like the Kennedys of the NFL in a sense of legacy i mean
Eli is a HOFer. Don't care how much titles the media says he was just "very good." Two superbowls and he always be the only guy that beat Tom twice when it mattered most. The man played 16 seasons and never missed a start until he basically retired. I'm a diehard Cowboy, and I respect the heck out of Eli.
Coming to this AFTER they just finished their season and man, their show was an absolute mega success. I only ever watched them if they were on that Monday, I learned alot from them and it was endlessly entertaining, hope it continues 2022-2023
Eli and Coughlin were an amazing pairing and you can hear how much Coughlin helped Eli and Eli took it in and thanked him later.
with them joking on each other so much and clowning on each other all the time... this love moment is what we ALL needed
Peytons charisma is off the charts I love listening to Peyton talk about football .....so much knowledge in that big dome of his
I could listen to the Manning brothers talk for hours
It's official, I'm hooked on this Cowherd podcast!
I'm a Giant fan and watched this twice. I love the stories and just the way they tell a story. That's not why I watched it twice. Colin put on masterclass for interviewing. Love or hate him he's GOOOOOOOOOOD!! He seems to even make the people he talking to better like he is a coach.
Thank you, Collin: Without any doubts, this interview of the Manning Brothers is some of your best work. Your interview acumen during this interview is second to none. In my opinion, this was one of the best sports interviews of the decade and should be award-winning. Great facilitation and thanks a million for sharing this exciting story of a new ESPN MNF MegaCast Venue is epic for enjoying NFL football. ESPN are winners and this program is the next generation of MNF programming. The Manning Family is Football Royalty with a strong morale character developed by Archie and Olivia Manning who are New Orleans Royalty and deservingly so. I grew up in the New Orleans area and a lifelong Saints fan since the very beginning in 1967. I have followed both Peyton and Eli since their Newman High School days and they are great people who happen to be QB's in the NFL. Peyton is probably destined to be the NFL Commissioner one day. This interview is a must-see for football fans. Thanks, again Collin. Great Job!!!!
espn is hott doodoo.. MNF with the Mannings is their only saving grace
2 legends, sons of another legend. It's been an honor watching them all play.
Diehard Patsfan here but Im amazed by how likeable relatable down to earth those 2 and their whole family are now that we arent competing against them...They all seem like theyre really good people, and theyre quite funny at times.
Great interview by Colin by allowing both brothers to share their thoughts without interrupting. And what a great football family mannings are. They are student of the game even after their retirements, so humble and still lot to offer to football viewers.
For sure its rare to have 2 brothers both elite QBs at the same time and yet there is no jealousy, just brotherly love.
Apparently Cooper Manning was the most talented of the three but got seriously hurt and couldn't go to the NFL
@@jamesdedonato5819 cooper was a elite wide receiver.. His story is sad.. But his son look like the real deal
Colin is excellent in this long form interview format. He could have had real broadcasting success in any lane he chose glad he picked sports
You can disagree with Colin's opinion, but the guy is one of the best media guys around
It's analogy of divorce for me
Prior to the broadcast, I was skeptical. I was even skeptical thru the first few minutes....but then something magical happened: the Mannings clicked. The irreverence to the game, sport, each other.....NOT doing the cliche'd/TYPICAL sports broadcast, is what MADE this broadcast special and rare. As in....MUCH needed fresh blood. I for one WILL catch their act for the remainder of the season. WORTH it.
Agree 100%. they kept getting better and better and who knew Eli was that funny. You can't match that brother bond with an ordinary broadcast.
2 brothers, 2 1st picks overall, 2 SB rings each, both HOF bound. Seriously, if there were such a thing as football royalty, the Mannings have got to be at the top of the list.
Peyton is HoF bound. Eli got lucky a few times and had an average career.
@Suleyman_Sports A person doesn't get lucky twice? What if I told you that in 2007 against Romo, Favre, Brady, and then again in 2011 at least against Rodgers and Brady (again), Eli went up against all star QBs that were having one of their worst games of the year. And then Eli still needed a highly unlikely play to pull off the win. If even one of those QBs shows up being average, it isn't close. For example, in 2007, Romo led the Cowboys to 45 and 32 points in the regular season and then they only scored 17 in the post season. What would you call that and how much of a factor was Eli in that?
Romo should be a first round Hall of Famer and Eli should never be in it. For the people that think I’m nuts, let’s play a little game of “Guess Which One Is Romo”. I’m going to take the stats from Romo and Eli along with Hall of Fame locks like Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, and Peyton (the only Manning QB) only I’m not going to put their names next to them. It should be easy to pick out Romo from this elite group. The columns are completion percentage, yards/attempt, TD %, Int % (This was done in about 2018) A 65.3 - 7.7 - 5.7 - 2.7 B 67.1 - 7.6 - 5.3 - 2.4 C 64.2 - 7.9 - 5.1 - 2.7 D 65.3 - 7.9 - 5.7 - 2.7 E 60.0 - 7.0 - 4.6 - 3.1 F 63.9 - 7.5 - 5.5 - 1.8 So, which one is Romo? This should pretty much be a no brainer. Look at E. Dead last in every category by far. Except E isn’t Romo, it’s Eli. Romo is D, tied for the best in two categories against players considered to be legends. He may not have won “the big one”, but when he’s putting up the same numbers as guys who have won it, is it really all Romo’s fault? Is it his fault at all? Romo belongs in the HoF, first ballot. Bit, it isn’t all so bad for Eli. Let’s put him in a group with Ryan Tannehill and Baker Mayfield. And Eli……. Still comes in dead last in every category. Is this starting to sink in yet. Romo had the same stats as HoF locks and Eli has the same stats as guys barely hanging onto their jobs. Just in case you are wonder who the other players are. Peyt 65.3 - 7.7 - 5.7 - 2.7 Brees 67.1 - 7.6 - 5.3 - 2.4 Roet 64.2 - 7.9 - 5.1 - 2.7 Rom 65.3 - 7.9 - 5.7 - 2.7 Eli M 60.0 - 7.0 - 4.6 - 3.1 Brady 63.9 - 7.5 - 5.5 - 1.8
@@tomknapp6194 using your logic Matt Stafford should be in the HofF while still playing. Smh. You can spin numbers all you want, you need the wins. The big games. You cant take those from Eli saying “it was the team”. He gets those just as a Matt Stafford doesn’t. Romo over Eli? Maybe. You cant separate a player by just stats and say that makes them a shoe-in for the hof. Its about fit and finish. Its not all stat and superbowls. Its looking at intangibles AS WELL. All the little thing. For example. Barry Sanders. Not even playoff victories on all those records, yet arguably the best to play the game.
@@JWTiny @J. W Tiny You said it, not me. Stafford will probably surpass Eli in yards and TDs just as Matt Ryan will this year with hundreds of fewer attempts than Eli. Just as Rodgers has about 60 more TDs than Eli with about 1,500 fewer attempts. See where this is going? Eli has a lot of stats because he played nonstop for 16 year with average/below average results. But, they will still pile up as they did in his case. It doesn't mean he's great or even good.
I’ll never forget the way the Giants did Eli dirty by ending his Ironman streak. I’m not a Giants fan, but I’ll never forget that
The worst part about it was that they benched him for Geno Smith... I would have been ok with it to see what they had on the bench in Lauletta. At the end of the day though, the Giants let Eli down by letting the o-line deteriorate the way it did. It is still a problem now!
@@MrMirack yeah, but he was a 2x Super Bowl champion QB with the Giants, and defeated Brady, the goat, both times. Considering what he did for the Giants, with his Ironman streak, which I admire immensely because it means he played through 100s of nicks and bruises, perhaps some severe, you don’t bench him. You let him continue his streak, and let him retire from the Giants at the end of the season with the respect and dignity he earned. If I was the owner, I would have said no way head coach, are you doing that. I’ll take whatever flak New York is going to throw at me. Keep it classy.
@@rabidlenny7221 there was a huge decline, whether it was Eli, or the line. The season was shot, so why not bench him to see what they had? I think it would have been more impactful to pull him in a first quarter situation than ending his streak. But Geno fucking Smith?!?!? That is where they lost me.
I am a Giants fan, and I'll never forget that. Honestly, ever since they fired Coughlin, The Giants have been downhill with their decisions.
True, and for no good reason. After one game, Eli was back starting.
Imagine them commenting a bucs game 😂
Wow. The insights from Peyton about watching film with defensive coaches & Eli with Coughlin making him break down every blitz each week is gold. 👏👏👏 I’m becoming a big fan of this channel.
Pure Class, Great family. Peyton to me is the 🐐 He himself changed expectations for QB's period 💯
He had a tough time as a rookie and constantly made mistakes. It took time for him to develop his skills and football IQ. Brady was better from day 1 and once he started he never gave his starting job back. But both are two of the best. Without them we would have very little elite quarterbacks like we did in the 90s/very early 2000s.
Yea! to you
@@rafaeltorre1643 yeah because Brady got to sit behind Bledsoe for more than a year and 2 full NFL training camps to learn the game and also had a far superior team. Peyton took over a 3-13 team and they were hot garbage. In his 2nd season, they went 13-3.....
The manning cast is the best thing that has happened in football this decade, in my humble opinion!!! I never want to watch MNF any other way!!! I'm actually bummed for the first time in my career, that I'm WORKING the Monday Night game in Santa Clara because I'm gonna MISS the Manning-cast!!! LoL
Not a huge fan of Colin but he crushed it in this interview. Questions were on point and showed a lot of insight on these two
Peyton can legit be a comedian
Colin's reaction at 19:02 is everybody's reaction when Peyton delivers the perfect one-liner/joke 😂
Colin's reaction to the "summering" joke from Peyton is priceless
That eli story at the end is WILD😂😂😂😂
I'm a big buff dude and i almost had an "Awwwwww ," moment during this interview. Great content !!
Just watched this after the MNF game, and I can say it was one of the best games I watched because of these two and the guests. Just great insight and great awkwardness with cutting to commercial mid sentence and having bad timing with trying to talk to people virtually it was awesome
I love Colin's interviewing technique of "take me to a moment." I'm gonna start using that phrase if I'm having a serious discussion with someone
I love Eli because he beat Brady twice in the Super Bowl
"The Book of Manning" is still one of the best ESPN documentaries ever
Eli getting his gold jacket and joining Peyton in the Hall!
He probably will but he shouldn’t. He’s gonna get in just cause his last name is Manning. Im not trying to diss Eli or hate on him at all. He had some amazing moments and he was clutch as hell at times especially in his two SuperBowl wins. But you cant point to a single season while he played that he was the best QB in the league. He finished his career with the same amount of losses as he had wins. Its “the hall of fame” not “the hall of very good at times”
@@nopeteys2424 He is one the most prolific playoff performers at QB. I agree that he was not impressive in the regular season but QB's are judged on postseason success.
They're gonna make him wait years.
@@dantheman8152 Eli has never lead the league in anything except interceptions. He has no All-Pros to his name. I cannot think of a single season where he was top 5 at his position.
@@Alexander22129 Like I said. It's his playoff resume that will get him the nod.
That Coughlin impression was so good haha
Wasn’t it lmao
Colin at his BEST!!!!!
Fabulous job by Colin hosting this interview
How am I only seeing this now? That was awesome!
How could you not ask about Eli’s soup history off the bat?
Huge missed opportunity
Wish my Brother and I got along this well. Makes me sad how distant we are.
Today is another opportunity to make that connection
These programs by men who really played help many fans to learn more about what the football game is really about.
its basically the Mystery Science Theater 3000 of football
Love these 2. I’m a big brother and I’ll always remember once when Colts played Giants. The reporter on field after was trying to get Peyton to say things like he beat his brother and he got the best of him. Peyton shut that down immediately. He said he loves his brother it’s not a rivalry it’s a brotherhood. Always remember that moment.
Anyone who loves football would love to talk football with either one of these guys during a game. Their MNF show will be great because thats exactly what your doing.
My first memory of Eli is that 7 overtime game in 2001 against Arkansas... I was in college as well. That game was crazy. They lost but he threw 6 TD's and 0 interceptions and over 300yds. He was only a sophomore and I remember all of us thinking... this guy is gonna be better than his brother. Hahaha. He was a beast that season.
I love this family. Our family was Broncos fans. We would dress in Broncos clothes and our son would make homemade pizza and scream the roof off the house. Love how very humble these good men are.
I love the Manning’s. Legendary family.
Peyton Manning's charisma is off the charts.
Those two brothers honestly love each other!!
You can see that these two really love and respect each other as brothers AND as players. When each is talking, the other one looks at him like he is the best QB alive! This was a fantastic interview/podcast. Well done!
I could not be more excited for this every Monday.
I remember getting drunk as shit with BOTH of these guys at the Kingpen in New Orleans. Great family and even better people!
hidden gem of an interview
Colin is really good at interviews and doesn’t come across as the guy we hear on the radio show and I mean that in the best way possible.
Sad how the Giants failed to give Eli any protection or weapons his last few years. & They could've had another Superbowl in 2016 if the receivers just cut their drops in half. He was such a scapegoat when their roster went downhill.
I get nauseous every time I think of that Green Bay playoff game that year. Playoff Eli was there to do business
Plaxico shooting himself really hurt his legacy too. They were undefeated when that went down. There’s a good chance eli wouldve ended up with 3 rings if plax stays healthy
@@joeyglover3429 He was switched on. Damn shame
If you break Eli's career in half 2004-2011 and 2012-2019, despite having his best year in the first half and his worst in the second half, he was a better QB in the second half. And they won squat. That should suggest something right there.
@@jacobschippell2058 Plaxico had 454 yards, 53% completion, and 4 TDs through 11 games. That was a difference maker for Eli? Almost undefeated. But, then couldn't score a TD in the playoffs.
watching what they did this mnf... they were great
And YES! WHO KNEW ELI WAS THE HILARIOUS ONE???!!!! AWESOME SAUCE!!!
Colin is a great interviewer
absolutely loved the Megacast! I have not watched a full MNF game in many years but I enjoyed every minute of P&E. great engaging entertainment!!
This show was amazing! Neeed more of it! Love the whole ending 20 mins with Russ! He really meshed well with them and there was so much explaining they did that was just pure awesome!
Simply awesome! Fantastic interview by Colin and these two brothers are a class act. One of the most entertaining interviews I have watched from a football fan perspective. Keep up the great work Colin and wishing the Peyton brothers all the success on their new adventure.
In follow up ..... Two Brothers who get along because they respect and most important like each other. Good job Mom and Dad.
I love that they truly respect n Love each other that is worth more than GOLD
Im from Alabama Roll Tide! And i love these 2 brothers!
Great conversation. Like Derek Jeter getting inducted into the baseball hall of fame today (I'm a Met fan and die hard Giant fan but congrats #2) the Mannings just represent humbleness and class no matter how successful they are
I love Peyton, I maybe had a chance to play golf with him and didnt, Then I passed him on a escalator right when he came to Indy, then he sat in front of me at the IU Ohio state game. I feel like he was the best ever at putting the ball where only 1 guy could catch it. The best part of football to me is right in the line hearing the players and the NFL never gets in there close. I'm so excited to see these guys watch football and give us a closer glimpse of what's going on.
That was AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!! I MUST go out of my way to catch those two in that scenario! Colin & those two were ALSO something worth seeing more of😉🤞🏻💪🏻
So freakin hilarious!!! Lol. Fun interview can’t wait for their show
100 % watching and talking like a fan "is why this show is fantastic"
Peyton is hilarious and of course he's great, but I think Eli has really shined in broadcasting . He has shown charisma and wit that no one knew he had.. I enjoy Monday night football because of the Manning brothers, and to listen to Eli bash Peyton's forehead for 3 hours 🤣🤣
These are the best sports heroes that kids can actually look up to. Great human beings.
I thought Payton was gunna cry Cheer's glad I got to see legendary dude's play football
The shotgun bit had me spit Sprite out my nose
Love PEYTON I'll NEVER 4get The MEMORIES
Truly the first family of American Football
Peyton looks so dang proud of his little brother ❤
This is great!! On the Herd Colin would be like "We got a minute left" right in the middle of Peyton's story, but not here!! Of course Eli stayed in New York! He beat Vader and Palpatine TWICE, he will never have to buy another drink in his life.
This was hilarious 😂
when these guys talk I cant stop smiling and I have watched football for my entire life with Joe Namaths Guarantee my fondest memory
the entire video, especially when Eli is talking about Peyton and aso New York.... that kind of look an only come from an older brother watching and being super proud of his little brother.
Great interview Colin. Well done. Enjoyed that a lot.
I hope they do the Steelers game. Their broadcast was awesome!
This has to be one of the best interviews I ever watched. But the way Colin couldn't believe Peyton picked Denver to live and raise his kids. Manning will be the owner or in the Broncos management soon. Elway is passing the torch to Peyton Manning #Broncos
Ingenious idea of all time can’t wait for this show
Its time to now make MNF a holiday!
Haven't watched a Monday night game other than the Browns games..so not many. In at least a decade. After watching clips and the end of Monday. Definitely tuning in.
FANTASTIC interview! Is it safe to say I admire these three guys!👊🏽
@@tonyfro23 exactly
I’m not a big fan of Colin but this was an amazing interview
MAN I LOVE THESE GUYS !!! AWESOME INTERVIEW !!!
I miss having Manning playing for my Colts. These guys are awesome to watch and Peyton is an offensive genius. These guys are so good together.
Eli Probably had the best answer for “why do you live in NJ?” I’ve been asking myself that for 30 years
Great show!
Awesome Colin thanks good interview with Peyton and Eli
Greatly enjoy these two and their love for the game....
