re: Anyone else watching Peyton and Eli talk about the MNF game on ESPN 2

It was smart football analysis but not condescending while being hilarious.

They are both (Peyton moreso) slightly condescending, but mostly witty, without specifically offending anyone individually. That's what makes it fun to watch. Same with Romo in his broadcasts.

They give the fan the deep insight that almost none of us can see, but also have a quick wit to make it funny. I found myself laughing multiple times.

I loved Peyton's quip about halftime adjustments:

"Whoever wins this game the media/fans are going to say it was because of the halftime adjustments." Halftime adjustments!? We didn't have time for halftime adjustments. The elevators got stuck. Some coach didn't make it.... There are no halftime adjustments". It just goes to show how wrong some of the fan groupthink really is.

And the way the broadcast ended was great. They voiced what we were all thinking. Who in the hell is Jones? Peyton messed with Eli for not knowing who he is then ended the broadcast with a condescending "Carr to Jones. One of the great combinations in the game today.
