Bill Belichick Adds Another Media Job With Former Patriots Rival

Bill Belichick already has a busy calendar in his first season away from the New England Patriots.

Belichick already appears weekly on the “Pat McAfee Show” and will do so during ESPN’s “Manningcast” during Monday Night Football broadcasts. In addition, he’ll see plenty more of a former opposing quarterback that helped define his Patriots tenure.

Belichick and two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning will co-host a program on ESPN+ called “The Breakdown” that will air weekly. That’s plenty of time to spend on air after years of batting each other for AFC supremacy between the Patriots and Manning’s stops with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.

The primary episode to preview Week 1 airs on ESPN+ on Friday, Sept. 6. Manning’s company, Omaha Productions, made the announcement on X on Wednesday.

Belichick’s Patriots got the best of Manning with a 9-4 record in 13 regular-season meetings. It was Manning however that took the postseason upper hand, beating the Patriots in the 2006, 2013 and 2015 AFC Championship Games.
