After a graphic showed a comparison between Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his contemporaries among the list of all-time winningest NFL coaches, including George Halas of the Bears and the Dolphins’ Don Shula, Burr chortled, “That’s the best picture they could find? Don Shula looks like a mafia don, George Halas is smiling like he just met his grandkid for the first time… Belichick looks like he’s getting indicted.”
But it wasn’t all bleating and bellyaching — Burr took the time to give credit where credit is due in the most Bill Burr way possible. He paid Peyton a much-deserved commendation about his comedy skills in a compliment that sounded suspiciously like a complaint, saying, “I have to say, as a comedian, Peyton, it really bugs me how funny you are. You crushed it on SNL.”
After the way Eli dismantled Burr’s Patriots, it’s unsurprising that Burr omitted mention of the younger Manning brother’s SNL chops.
Burr concluded his time on the Manningcast by thanking Peyton and Eli for bringing up all the Patriots’ Super Bowl losses without making any mention of their many wins. We’ll probably get an earful about the experience on next week’s Monday Morning Podcast, but if you’re hankering for more football content from Burr, you’ll see him on fourth downs this Sunday when his Texans take on the Las Vegas Raiders.
Pin’em deep, Burr.
