Both Mannings have become deejays. The former quarterbacks, two-time Super Bowl-winning brothers and close mates with Kenny Chesney, kicked off the “Poets & Pirates DJ Sessions” this week on the singer’s SiriusXM channel, No Shoes Radio. In addition to spinning the songs, the Mannings told stories about their personal meanings, as well as about their long-time friendships with Chesney. (AP Photo/Tony Avelar, File)

Al Michaels spent 20 years calling “Monday Night Football” games before before leaving ABC in 2006, but he’ll be part of ESPN2’s coverage of the Rams-49ers game this Monday.

While Michaels is now employed by NBC Sports and calls “Sunday Night Football” games, he will make a cameo on “Monday Night Football.” Michaels will be the first quarter guest on the “ManningCast,” which features former NFL quarterbacks Eli and Peyton Manning.

The Mannings sort of call the games, but mostly offer insights on plays and/or players, while chatting with guests who come on each quarter.

Peyton Manning’s entertainment company, Omaha Productions, announced the guest list for Monday’s game.

Golf legend Phil Mickelson joins the guys in the second quarter, and the discussion is nearly guaranteed to turn to drives of a different sort.

In 2020, Peyton Manning joined Tiger Woods in “The Match” charity golf event. The duo defeated Mickelson and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady.

Golden State star Draymond Green will be the third-quarter guest and former Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will join the fun in the fourth quarter.

On Draft Day 2004, the Giants traded Rivers and three draft picks to the Chargers for Eli Manning.
