A bad Bengals team facing a bad Cowboys team needs something to liven it up. There will be a Simpsons based alternative broadcast on ESPN+ and Disney+.

It makes sense for the NFL to showcase the longest running comedy (since 1989) on a Monday night game close to Christmas for families to watch together.

But enough about the Bengals, I'm trying to figure out why the  Simpsons are involved.

This is my favorite post in a long time.

Simpsons post season 11 or so? Ida know, man.

A-mazing, I won't have to stream via illegal stream on my laptop, I can do it via Disney+! Hooray!

10 and earlier, golden.

11-13, ok.

14-17, passable.

18+, absolutely awful.

I'm probably one of the few people who have never watched a complete episode of The Simpsons.

I do know my Dad's hometown (Springfield, KY) was once in a contest to be the Simpson Springfield.

Bengals vs Cowboys is The Underachievers Bowl.
The Simpsons tie-in is fitting as the game will feature 2 HCs who are real life Homer Simpsons

Futurama is better.

I get that times change, but I think it's just as simple as Family Guy being so popular that they had to turn the Simpsons into a similar off the wall, less realistic show, and turn Homer into a Peter Griffin style clownish lunatic.

Wait, will the game actually be watchable on Disney+?

Yup, the Simpsons feed, so even more of a bonus for me!

Remind me when that game comes. It'll be nice to watch it without having to pirate it; like Thursday night games on Amazon Prime, I can get a glitch free stream that pally won't spoil!
