The reason for not watching the show? Eli and Peyton Manning themselves

In the segment featuring Boomer Esiason, Eli Manning asked the former Bengals MVP Boomer Esiason that he had also said on his show that he doesn’t typically watch ‘The Manning Cast.’ He then reminded him about his comments on his show that this will be a “must watch TV.” Manning asked the former quarterback if there was a warning.

“No, you don’t have to worry about that. I am not Marshawn Lynch. You are not gonna have to beep me out tonight,” Esiason joked about the question. He was referring to Lynch’s frequent bursts of cuss words on camera.

Ah Eli, I am just saying thank God you took that mask off. That’s all I am gonna tell you and I will say this you know; I find you guys to be distracting and you are too funny. Both of you guys together are funny and that’s what I was talking about, saying you know, you distract me from watching the game,” Esiason said. Quite a reason to not watch a show.
