Published:
Peyton and Eli Manning continue to increase their workload at ESPN and the brothers have just agreed to the biggest deal yet with the worldwide leader in sports.
ESPN has just announced the Manning brothers are set to host a Monday Night Football MegaCast to call 10 games in each of the next three NFL seasons. The brother are currently under contract to call 30 upcoming NFL games for ESPN.
The first three weeks of the upcoming NFL season will be covered by the Manning brothers with these games being featured: Baltimore at Las Vegas, Detroit at Green Bay, and Philadelphia at Dallas.
The Monday Night Football megacast will run on ESPN2, while the tradition MNF will run on ESPN.
The rest of the games they plan to call will be determined at a later date.
“Offering multiple Monday Night Football viewing options for the next three seasons continues our innovation efforts and provides additional value for our fans,” said Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of ESPN and Sports Content. “Peyton and Eli will bring a different approach, delving into conversation about broader, big-picture topics while also honing in on the game, much like fans do when watching with their family and friends.”
The standard Monday Night Football broadcast featuring Steve Levy, Brian Griese, Louis Riddick, Lisa Salters and John Parry will remain intact for another season.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee, Michael Wayne Bratton oversees the news coverage for Saturday Down South. Michael previously worked for FOX Sports and NFL.com
