Peyton Manning is back on ESPN2 with his brother, Eli, this season for Year 3 of the ManningCast, an alternate broadcast of Monday Night Football for 10 games each fall.
Peyton and Eli invite guests to appear on the show each week — last week featured Aaron Rodgers, Klay Thompson and Tiffany Haddish — and the 49ers-Vikings game also featured appearances from five of the smallest guests in ManningCast history.
Peyton had his son, Marshall, and four of his friends demonstrate how San Francisco uses pre-snap movement to disorganize a defense.
“Go do your homework, boys,” Peyton says after the demonstration.

“Is this what you do — do you yell at your players like that,” Eli asked Peyton after the demonstration. “Do you yell at them all the time?”
Eli was obviously joking, but he wasn’t the only one who teased Peyton for the demonstration on Monday. Many football fans were reminded of Peyton’s hilarious Saturday Night Live skit from 2007.

Peyton Manning brings a bunch of kids onto tonight’s ManningCast, then barks at them to go finish their homework. Shades of this @nbcsnl classic. https://t.co/hwRqBBwVLL

And now, naturally, we have to watch the skit again:
Such a classic.
