Former Endeavor executive chairman Patrick Whitesell and private equity giant Silver Lake have made an investment in Omaha Productions, the busy content banner headed by NFL great Peyton Manning.

The deal gives Whitesell and Silver Lake a minority stake in the company that produces ESPN2’s alternative “Monday Night Football” live telecast during the regular NFL season that features Manning and his brother Eli Manning, a fellow former star NFL quarterback, commenting on the game with celebrity guests and other entertaining elements. Omaha has also produced a slew of sports documentary content (including Netflix’s “Quarterback” and “Receiver” series) since the company was founded by Manning and veteran TV producer Jamie Horowitz in 2020.

Whitesell earlier this month formally exited Endeavor and WME after nearly 25 years, following the completion of Endeavor’s transaction with its majority owner Silver Lake to go private again after four years as a publicly traded entity.

Patrick Whitesell has made his first investment under a just created venture backed by Silver Lake — acquiring a minority stake in Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.

The former executive chairman of Endeavor, which was taken private by Silver Lake earlier this week, is CEO of the new platform — which hasn’t yet settled on a name — in partnership with the giant investment fund that will focus on sports, media and entertainment businesses. Silver Lake is providing an initial $250 million in capital.

Financial details of the deal with Omaha Productions weren’t disclosed.

“All of us at Omaha are excited to get to work with Patrick and Egon as our new teammates to grow the business and create new opportunities for fans,” said co-founder Manning, referring to Silver Lake CEO Egon Durban.

The new investor joins Peter Chernin, whose North Road took a minority stake in Omaha in 2023 and has served...

As Glen Powell has become a bigger and bigger star, many have compared his rise to fame to that of movie megastar, Tom Cruise, yet Powell's recent career move proves that he can stand apart from his Top Gun co-star. Although Powell is best known for his performances in Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone but You, and Twisters, the actor's career first began way back in 2003 with the sequel, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. For many years, Powell went under the radar, taking on minor roles in increasingly popular movies until he finally entered the spotlight in the 2020s.

The connections between the careers of Powell and Cruise are minor, yet hold quite a lot of weight for some audiences. The comparisons likely began when the pair appeared together in Top Gun: Maverick, which is the movie that seriously pushed Powell into the limelight. From there, Powell's roles in...

On the heels of HBO and Max’s 2025 preview earlier this week, Disney is also sharing footage for several TV series hitting its streaming platforms in 2025 including The Bear season four, the Glen Powell-led Chad Powers, Noah Hawley’s new series Alien: Earth, Charlie Cox in Daredevil: Born Again, the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale and more.

Early in the teaser, viewers are treated to clips of the fourth season of The Bear, starring the show’s Emmy-winning cast Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colon-Zayas, Matty Matheson and Jamie Lee Curtis. It was previously reported that FX was shooting seasons three, which was released at the end of June, and four of The Bear back-to-back. The latest, divisive batch of episodes featured major life updates for the characters and ended on a cliffhanger.

The Simpsons Funday Football alternate viewing presentation will stream on Disney+ and ESPN+ and, on mobile, with NFL+. The traditional Monday Night Football telecast will be available on ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes with Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli on ESPN2.

Both the traditional telecast and Peyton and Eli will also be on ESPN+, making each distinct presentation available in the ESPN App. All telecasts will begin at 8 p.m. Et.

When the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 9, you may be surprised to see some new players on the field in the form of Bart and Homer Simpson.

That’s because in addition to the regular “Monday Night Football” telecast, ESPN+ and Disney+ will be offering a live, animated recreation of the game with “The Simpsons Funday Football.”

The House of Mouse dropped a teaser for the state-of-the-art sporting experience during halftime of Monday’s game. While the clip only shows Bart siding with the Bengals and Homer backing the Cowboys, the December game promises many more appearances from Springfield — including Krusty, Nelson, Milhouse, Ralph, Carl, Barney, Lenny and Moe. Plus, Marge and Lisa will be interviewing players on the sideline, while Maggie operates the skycam. Watch the video below:

After throwing characters from Marvel and Toy Story into its ongoing battle to lure young viewers to its increasingly expensive sports telecasts, Disney’s ESPN is really bringing in the big guns.

Characters from the long-running animated series “The Simpsons” will join a December 9th “Monday Night Football” game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys in an animated “alterna-cast” that will stream on Disney+, ESPN+ and NFL+ while the usual traditional broadcast airs on ESPN. In the kids’ version of the game, Bart Simpson will play at times for the Bengals and his father, Homer, will fight for the Cowboys, while sister Lisa and mother Marge will interview players while baby Maggie operates the sky-cam.

Longtime “Simpsons” voice actors Hank Azaria, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner and Yeardley Smith will voice several of their characters in prerecorded bits and sketches.

ESPN has for years experimented with concepts that...

A Monday Night Football matchup later this season will feature two familiar characters, Bart and Homer Simpson, in the decidedly unfamiliar context of a live NFL football game.

The alternate, animated telecast of the December 9 showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys will feature a fully immersive Simpsons experience conveying the actual on-field action. It will be brought to life by writers and voice talent from the long-running Fox animated series, whose characters and library became the property of ESPN parent Disney in 2019. The setting for the telecast, streaming on Disney+ and ESPN+ and on mobile via NFL+, will be Atoms Stadium in the show’s fictional home base of Springfield.

It will be the second annual “Funday Football” initiative by ESPN, Disney and the NFL, following last year’s debut edition set in Andy’s bedroom in Pixar’s Toy Story franchise. Unlike a year ago, however, strikes...

Bart Simpson may soon have a new catchphrase in his repertoire: “Don’t have a Cowboy, man.”

The Walt Disney Co., the NFL and ESPN and teaming up to debut another animated alternative broadcast of an upcoming NFL game, but this time they are going big with “ESPN’s The Simpsons Funday Football.”

On Dec. 9, Disney+ and ESPN+ will stream the Dallas Cowboys-Cincinnati Bengals matchup, but it will take place in Springfield’s Atoms Stadium, with all the players replaced by dozens of animated characters based on those from the Fox and Disney+ series The Simpsons.

It will be the second year in a row that Disney+ will stream an animated version of an NFL game, but this year’s game will be bigger on multiple fronts: For starters, it is a Monday Night Football matchup, not a Sunday morning game like last year’s Toy Story game.

Tom Brady is used to being the best.

For 23 seasons, he was the most dominant quarterback in the NFL, and it could be argued that no player in the history of the league has ever played the position with greater skill.

But after decades of dismantling opposing defenses, Brady has finally encountered an adversary capable of neutralizing his prodigious talents.

We’re talking, of course, about the broadcasting booth.

Tom Not-So-Terrific

Yes, if you’re a football fan then you’ve probably heard the criticisms of Tom Brady’s color commentary for Fox.

It’s been one of the inescapable narratives of this season, right up there with the awful officiating and the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce breakup rumors.

For the sake of fairness, we should note that Brady is not the most unqualified announcer ever to call an NFL game.

Under the partnership, the “Beckham & Friends” altcast for CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League coverage will be available as a new viewing option to Paramount+ subscribers. The Beckham-led versions will stream during UEFA Champions League Semifinal Leg 2 matches and the UEFA Champions League Final. The deal includes exclusive altcasts on Paramount+ in 2025 and ’26, where Beckham will be “joined by his friends from the worlds of sports, media and entertainment,” according to Paramount.

Beckham said the “watch party”-style altcast will likely feature a different celebrity friend each time.
