New series based upon a sketch Eli Manning did on his ESPN+ show. Count me in!

Okay, that was pretty good



Why the hell are they making a show about this???

Converting the Ted Lasso concept from ad to series makes some sense, and worked beautifully. But I don’t see how “NFL QB goes ‘Undercover Boss’ at a college” translates to anything more than I one time gag.

Hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Big Mommas house had a sequel. Just sayin. At least they are giving us some OC here and not another remake/live action redo/retread crap.

And that scene in Armageddon always gets me. Always.

I'm thinking it might be similar to the concept in Powell's "Everybody Wants Some!!" movie, where Wyatt Russell's character sneaks back into college to play baseball after he ran out of eligibility a few universities ago.

This also seems to be the reverse of George Plimpton's "Paper Lion".

Hollywood needs more men like Glen Powell and less "men" like Timothee Chalamet. I will definitely watch this show.

Okay alpha dog.

It's a shame that The Rock wasn't available to play Bob Dylan.

I was hoping for a football version of "Eastbound and Down". Like Chad would be a cousin of Kenny's or something.

Damn, what did Chalamet do to you? It's not his fault he's skinny. He put a lot of criticisms I had of him as an actor to bed with his turn in Dune 2.

As much as I love Eli, that Chad Powers bit was cringe as hell and it was blatantly obvious 90% of the people in the video knew it was him.

I like Powell, and I liked Eli's skit, but how in the world will they make a TV show out of this?

Just to be clear, you're watching this show because you are interested in seeing a "real" man?


Ha gay.

You fricker. I haven't had my coffee yet and for a second I had hopes this was real.
