" The announcement was made by Peyton Manning during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Friday.

Beginning with the 2024 season, Belichick will feature on every episode of the ManningCast, providing insights and analysis during the first quarter of the game. Manning explained that Belichick will take viewers "behind the ropes" by discussing defensive strategies and the challenges faced by quarterbacks.

The ManningCast, hosted by Peyton and his brother Eli Manning, has gained popularity over the years. Last season, the Manning brothers entertained viewers with their commentary and special guests over the course of ten episodes.

Peyton Manning jokingly noted that he played the "Eli card" while pitching the idea to Belichick. Manning highlighted Belichick's storied relationship with Eli and added, "And if you ever run out of things to say, just make fun of Eli." The playful banter between the two brothers is expected to add an entertaining element to the show.

The partnership between Belichick and the Manning brothers was first hinted at by Peyton while speaking at Tom Brady's roast. Manning expressed his excitement about having "the greatest coach in NFL history" join their show, assuring viewers that it would be "awesome."

Belichick's inclusion in the ManningCast marks a significant milestone in his career, as he will not be on the sidelines during an NFL season for the first time since he began coaching in 1975. After spending an impressive 24 seasons with the Patriots, he parted ways with the team earlier this year.

Football fans can now look forward to hearing Belichick's expert insights as he joins the Manning brothers on the ManningCast, giving viewers a unique and informative perspective on "Monday Night Football." The upcoming season promises to be even more exciting with this stellar addition to the show.
