Joe Burrow is headed to Springfield. On Monday night, ESPN announced that an alternate telecast of its Dec. 9 Monday Night Football game featuring the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys will take place inside the universe of The Simpsons.
The Simpsons Funday Football stream will be available on Disney+ and ESPN+, recreating the real-world players as cartoon characters in real time. Bart and Homer Simpson will replace the characters at certain moments, while previously written skits incorporating Stephen A. Smith, Peyton Manning and others will appear in the telecast.
