Drew Bledsoe talks football and expectations for upcoming season
Patriots legend Drew Bledsoe gives his take on new head coach Jerod Mayo, Drake Maye and Tom Brady. He also talks about his new partnership with FanDuel.
Bill Belichick won’t be on an NFL sideline this fall, but he will have a packed schedule nonetheless.
The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach will appear on all 11 episodes of the “Manningcast,” ESPN’s alternate stream of its “Monday Night Football” presentation. Additionally, he and Peyton Manning will preview the upcoming Monday night matchup in a show called “The Breakdown with Peyton and Belichick,” a 30-minute program that is released the Friday before. “Breakdown” premieres Sept. 6.
The full “Manningcast” schedule has yet to be released but the 2024 debut will come Week 1 when the San Francisco 49ers host Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Belichick’s appearances are scheduled to occur in the first half, while the Manning brothers will host guests from the pop culture and sports world in the second half.
Belichick joined the “Pat McAfee Show” for the 2024 NFL draft and he will appear on the show every Monday during the NFL season.
Belichick’s deal with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and ESPN is on top of the other media work he has lined up for this fall. On Tuesdays for CW, he’ll join Ryan Clark, Chris Long and Chad Johnson on “Inside the NFL.” The 72-year-old will also be employed by Sirius XM, as he was named cohost of the “Let’s Go!” show, a podcast previously hosted by Tom Brady.
