Technical difficulties are a part of any broadcast every now and then, but the ManningCast at least knows how to have fun with them.
While discussing the punt-return-for-touchdown that got the Los Angeles Chargers on the board first against the New York Jets on Monday night, Peyton Manning apparently lost the ability to hear Eli Manning’s audio.
He had to tell his brother about the malfunctioning earpiece during the broadcast, which opened up Eli to get some delightful trolling in at Peyton while he couldn’t hear him.
We’ll let the Manning brothers take it from here because this exchange is just too good to miss.
"Eli, just keep doing more hand signals, because I can't hear a word that you're saying. There's static in my hear like you wouldn't believe…"- Peyton Manning
"I can tell that you can't hear me because you are repeating everything I'm saying every time."- Eli Manning #MNF pic.twitter.com/gXQD4xTCIj

This is why the ManningCast works so well. These two clearly love to make fun of each other at every given instance, and it was Eli Manning who got the opportunity to have some fun at Peyton Manning’s expense.
Peyton is going to have to get Eli back the next time something goes awry.
