Bill Belichick will lend his expertise to ESPN’s multiple shows, including Monday Night Football, The Pat McAfee Show, and his own show on ESPN+ alongside Peyton Manning.
As much as Peyton and Bill talking football sounds awesome, I can’t stand that that broadcast doesn’t properly show the game.
This is my gripe with it… I don’t want a react video of those two watching the game… I want them to call the game like any commentators would.
Love him or hate him, Romo has a decent eye for the game and is (IMO) a much better announcer than he ever was a QB… he brings a lot of insight to the game that your average person might not pick up on, and I think the games he calls are better for it.
There’s just too many replays where he says the wrong thing (calling obvious zone man or vice versa) when discussing a previous play for me to tolerate him. He doesn’t really add depth on concepts, just the surface level details that aren’t reliable.
I’d be perfectly fine with the Manning cast audio of them bullshitting if they just kept the video screen the game. I don’t need to see them. Even better, Peyton and Bill doing whatever with a play by play guy, over the prime vision video feed. It’s really too bad that the only broadcast that shows the whole field is for awful Thursday night games.
This would be a hell no for me.
