Always good to see my boys, The Mannings @peytonmanning & Eli Manning.
Great to see their #ManningCast become so hugely successful on @ESPN - and they’re just getting started.
Last time I was on Manning Cast with them, I took a big swig of @Teremana on live TV because the team I gave a rousing pep talk to, immediately threw a pick 6 😂🤦🏽♂️
Cool moment for XFL Chairwoman @danygarciaco here as she’s a huge fan of both of these 2X Super Bowl Champions and a lifelong @nygiants fan.
Meanwhile, I’m looking at Eli like he’s a snack 🤣🫱🏾🫲🏻

Ladies & Gents,
The deal is done 🥃 🚀
In a show-stopping announcement our @XFL is coming to @DISNEY & @ESPN, @ABC & FX.
Starting in 2023, all 43 XFL games including playoffs + championship game will air across @ESPN, @ABC and for the first time ever, pro football will run on FX.
I have had the privilege throughout my career to have built and enjoyed a very successful legacy relationship with DISNEY.
Now we have the privilege again to continue to build out thru our multi year agreement - with passion, ambition, work ethic & the desire to ALWAYS take care of our audience - the people.
I flew into New York to join our XFL Chairwoman @danygarciaco to surprise and electrify the #DisneyUpFront22 crowd with our big announcement.
It was also equally important to me, that I flew in to look my partners in the eye and shake their hands to say thank you.
Bob Chapek — CEO x DISNEY
Kareem Daniel — Chairman x DISNEY Media & Entertainment
Jimmy Pitaro — Chairman x ESPN
Burke Magnus — President x ESPN
Russ Brandon — President x XFL
And now the fun part….
We go to work.
