End your Monday with an Omaha or two.
After the success of the first two seasons, ESPN's "Manningcast" alternate broadcast is back, and the third time might be more than a charm for Peyton and Eli Manning.
This year, there may be a little bit more of an emphasis on the on-field product after the 2022 season may have taken some detours away from what the broadcast was in 2021. While celebrities and other figures made the show entertaining, there may have been less of a focus on the game and more on the fun.
This year, ESPN is introducing a live telestrator for Peyton to use, which may bring a little bit of a spotlight on the game while also keeping the same guest-host formula they've had in years past.
In any case, there's plenty of Mannings in your future on Monday nights. Here's how to catch this season's edition of the "Manningcast" and more:

When is the next Manningcast broadcast?
Those waiting to catch the Manning Bros. broadcast won't have to wait long. The Week 1 Jets. vs. Bills matchup on "Monday Night Football" will be the first Manningcast broadcast of the 2023 season.
It's a hot start to the "MNF" slate for 2023 and a great debut matchup for the 2023 rendition of the Manningcast. The duo get to break down Bills passer Josh Allen as they hope to surge towards another AFC East crown, while the Jets introduce Aaron Rodgers as their franchise passer.
Following Week 1, the next Manningcast will air in Week 4, when the Seahawks face off against Eli's former team, the Giants.

Why Peyton and Eli Manning are on 'Monday Night Football'
In 2021, the "Manningcast" was introduced as an alternative broadcast to the traditional "MNF" viewing option. The goal was simple: For the Mannings to offer unique, experienced insight from the Super Bowl-winning brothers.
Over time, the "Manningcast" evolved into an undone-tie broadcast which includes guests from the football, broader sports, and pop culture worlds.
This year, there may be a bit more focus on the football and breaking down the game. Peyton will be operating with a live telestrator, breaking down in-game action in real time.
