Signing Eli and Peyton Manning for an alternative broadcast of Monday Night Football has proved to be a great idea for ESPN’s NFL coverage. For the 2021 season, the Manning brothers have provided an insightful and entertaining television production. The nontraditional live stream has already had some memorably crazy and funny moments this year.

For viewers who have not had a chance to catch the ManningCast, or fans who want to rewatch some of the more unforgettable clips, the following list is of the top five craziest moments from the Manning brothers' MNF broadcast:

#5 - Rob Gronkowski admits to not watching game film:

Gronk is gonna gronk. Of course, Rob Gronkowski later revised his initial comment and assured everyone that he does actually watch film.

#4 - Eli Manning’s audition for “Step Up 6: Nobody Puts Eli Manning and Dak Prescott in a Corner”:

Whose hips don't lie better? Eli or Dak? Viewers can be the judge, but even Peyton Manning voted for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback over his own brother.

#3 - Number 3 is for Beast Mode’s “three-shot minimum” of Henny:

If the censorship committee decided to give the ManningCast a TV-MA (Mature Audiences Only) rating, it’s because Marshawn Lynch dropped F-bombs live on TV and probably neared the edge of what ESPN wanted to air for a “family-friendly” sports atmosphere.

#2 - Kevin Hart roasts Eli’s Manning face:

Comedians exist to point out things on live TV that most people might not have the guts to say out loud. Eli Manning did not hesitate to roast Kevin Hart’s height (or lack thereof), and Hart returned the favor with a joke about Eli’s persistent facial formation.

#1 - Eli roasts Peyton’s pit stains:

If ESPN decided to rename the ManningCast to “Monday Night Football Roast with Eli and Peyton Manning,” then the broadcast would not miss a beat. The Mannings provide brotherly ribbing of each other, and sometimes the ribbing includes their guests. The opening episode of the ManningCast provided one of the more memorable moments when Peyton Manning’s pit stains did not go unnoticed by viewers or by Eli Manning.

The ManningCast returns tonight for Week 13’s MNF matchup with the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills.
