A night with the ‘ManningCast’: Voice memos, legendary cameos help redefine NFL broadcast

“He’s in charge of that right butt cheek,” Eli Manning says.

It’s Sunday afternoon of Week 2, a little more than 24 hours before the Manning brothers are on the air, and a flurry of voice memos lights up Peyton’s phone.

“The RPOs all look bad, Peyt.”

“I don’t think Kirk was under center for one play, which is strange.”

The voice memos have a backstory: A few years ago, while he was watching a Broncos game, Peyton had to sneak into a bathroom at Empower Field in Denver after a coach called him later than expected.
