The Mannings on “Monday Night Football” was billed as hanging out at a bar with Peyton and Eli to watch a game.

At the start, Peyton started talking at a million miles a minute, as if he were paid by the word, which still might be a cut from the God knows how many millions ESPN is direct-depositing him to do these jazzed up Zooms with his brother for 10 “MNF” games.

As the show went on, when Peyton and Eli focused more on the intricacies of the game — and not the Mannings nostalgia show — it got better.

Still, this is the Mannings on “Monday Night,” so there is no preseason.

The show began slowly, which was largely because Peyton was running a no-huddle, looking for big plays instead of just taking the 7-yard outs he needed.

Before Monday Night Manning started, Peyton said he will see flowers when there are weeds.

“I’m going to be hard-pressed to say anything negative,” Peyton said on Colin Cowherd’s podcast.

When Peyton doubted Barkley was ever booed at home, Barkley quickly shot back that he played in Philadelphia.

Barkley added, while everyone may love Peyton, Eli knows about being booed at home, playing in New York.

When Ray Lewis joined the Mannings, they got more into talking football, making fun of Eli, reminiscing about Lewis and the Ravens just toying with Eli as a Giant rookie.

“They thought I was going to egg his house or something,” Manning said

In the fourth quarter, Russell Wilson joined the Mannings
