1. ESPN finally got Peyton Manning on Monday Night Football, and it paid off nicely.
The Worldwide Leader gave Monday night's Saints-Raiders game the Megacast treatment, with one feed featuring Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit commentating on the game while being joined by special guests.
At one point the Megacast had Peyton Manning and Charles Barkley link up with Davis and Herbstreit, which led to some solid trash-talking, such as Manning asking Barkley how much he weighed.
But Peyton's most savage comment was a subtle dig at the Patriots.
When breaking down how a coach calls a play into the quarterback's headset, the future Hall of Famer explained that the communication is supposed to get cut off with 15 seconds left on the play clock.
