LeBron James finally making NFL debut on TNF with ManningCast-like show during Titans vs Packers
NBA Champion LeBron James will take his talents to the NFL on Thursday night. James, Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera will debut their new show 'TNF in The Shop' on Thursday night when the Green Bay Packers host the Tennessee Titans. This alternate broadcast to Thursday Night Football is Amazon Prime's newest venture to reach more fans each week.
TNF in The Shop will feature executive producers James and Carter along with Rivera hosting guests in an atmosphere that can be best described as a watch party. The show will be a mix of Uninterrupted: The Shop and ESPN's alternate Monday Night Football broadcast, 'The ManningCast.' Guests will share their opinions on the game and engage in various conversations with the hosts.
The Los Angeles Lakers star made the announcement for TNF in The Shop just last month during a Thursday Night Football broadcast on Amazon Prime. The premiere episode will welcome the following guests: Los Angeles Rams corner Jalen Ramsey, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, actor Rob Lowe and actor and comedian Jamie Foxx.
TNF in The Shop is going to be lit tonight 🔥
Tune in to the latest #TNFonPrime alt stream, kicking off at 8 PM ET during the @Titans vs @Packers matchup https://t.co/ndNiEZuH8x
All four guests should provide great insight on the game and the conversations should be interesting throughout Thursday night.

Last year, while appearing as a guest on the ManningCast with Peyton and Eli Manning, he stated who his favorite NFL team is. After being asked by Eli Manning if he had a favorite team, Peyton Manning joked that he was now a Los Angeles Rams fan. This was because he was spotted at the SoFi Stadium taking in a game the day before. However, he said that while he was there supporting the Rams, he is actually a fan of his hometown team, the Cleveland Browns.
LeBron James was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, which is about 40 miles south of Cleveland. He has also expressed in the past that he is a fan of the MLB team, the Cleveland Guardians.
We shall doubtless learn more about him during the program tonight.
