Peyton and Eli Manning are winning over a lot of fans with their Manningcast coverage of Monday Night Football on ESPN 2. One person they won’t be winning over any time soon though is Hall of Famer Warren Moon.
The Oilers and Vikings legend stopped by Outkick’s tailgate party ahead of Georgia’s destruction of Vanderbilt on Saturday. When asked about the Manningcast, he said that he isn’t a fan and couldn’t see himself ever being won over.
“It’s a little bit different. I’m a hardcore football guy, so I don’t want jokesters in the game, I want to analyze the game,” Warren Moon said. “I look at the game a lot differently than most people look at em’, I’m really quiet about it and so that’s kind of what I want to see when I see a game. I don’t want to see a lot of comedy.”
During his visit with the Outkick crew, Moon touched on several quarterback related subjects. He said that rules make it possible for quarterbacks to have much longer careers than they would have in the past.
When it comes to Tom Brady though, Warren Moon said that career is not merely the result of being treated with kid gloves. He even admitted that he is a little jealous of what the Buccaneers’ QB has accomplished.
“I should have ate more avocado ice cream when I was playing and maybe I’d still be playing right now. But, he takes great care of his body. His body is like his temple. He trains well in the offseason, and then he went to a super talented football team, I mean he’s got four All-Pro receivers.”
