Here's The Real Reason Why Peyton Manning Turned Down Monday Night Football

Apparently Here's Why Peyton Manning Turned Down Monday Night Football

Former NFL star Peyton Manning has been in the mix for being in the booth for Monday Night Football every year. It seems like a natural fit and one day it will most likely happen. According to Yahoo Sports, the reason for him not taking the job yet is his brother Eli...

quote:
“If he ever decides [Monday Night Football] is something he wants to do, it’s going to be after Eli has finished his career and he gets a little bit further from his era of playing and maybe some of his teammates have moved on, too,” one source said. “It would have been a tough position for him this season, with the Giants [and Broncos] being on the schedule. There is a lot of loyalty there for him and I don’t think he’d ever want to be in a position where he’d be conflicted about his analysis. It just wouldn’t have been a comfortable situation this year.”

He is worth $200 million and may not want a little job that he is tied to. Doing a commercial here and there is not a huge time commitment.

That’s exactly the right answer. Knowing Manning, he would not half arse his way through any job and would put in a lot of time to make sure he was a good commentator and I doubt he’d want to put in that commitment. Monday night football is not your average Sunday game and his announcing would be under scrutiny every week

And I’m sure he doesn’t want to have to shite on his brother when he screws up. There may not be the number one reason but that certainly is one of them and I don’t think it would be worth the hassle him to criticize his buddies and his brother when they make mistakes.

How can he do MNF when he's coach of the Vols?

Screw the flag kneelers. Ask papa John's CEO about this.

I mean Eli's career is basically done...

Skinny•58 months

Yep that's the "real" reason. Case closed. Or is it that Monday Night Football sucks and hasn't been relevant for years and its not worth the hassle?

rilesrick•58 months

Peyton Places gonna be good though

dstone12•58 months

Could be that the NFL and it’s players have really let him down and he may not want to attach his name it at this time.

Or it could just be what he said.

Monday Night Football? I thought it went the way SNL went. Kaput! Now put some college games on TV Monday night and I'll be interested.

Real men separate business from emotions.

Have they ever asked him to be part of the broadcasting team? Why would you want a mouth-full-of-marbles mumbler doing a broadcast? His dad would be a better choice even though you’d die of old age waiting. for. him. to. complete. a. sentence.

Meh. He is a professional. Guy is enjoying his millions and watching his kids grow up.

Never hurt Bob Griese. He did games with his son playing.

mikesaltychip•58 months

He is so full of shite!! lol

bamagreycoat•58 months

That’s a very reasonable explanation. I still like Eli better. Losing to Ole Miss and Eli is not as mentally harmful as losing to Peyton and the Vols.

BowlJackson•58 months

Forehead is too big to fit in the frame is the real reason

Probably the biggest forehead I’ve ever seen.

If I had Peyton's money I wouldn't be interested in a job either. I'd be on some tropical island having some drinks with the little umbrellas in it and not giving a dang about nothing
