I've heard of crossovers, but this is ridiculous......

 I know The Muppets have a new show on Disney+, I believe. That's all the reason there really was for Disney to arrange a modest little crossover with ESPN, turning Monday Night Football into Muppet Night Football.

At least the intro was entertaining, with Kermit & Ms. Piggy opening the show, and leading into a football-themed riff on "Carol of The Bells":


Unfortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, their late season collapse continues, as they dropped a 27-17 decision to homestanding Cincinnati. Something tells me that QB Ben Roethlisberger is playing hurt, but trying to hide the pain in a bid to carry his team, Willis Reed-style, into the post-season. However, at this rate, what is now a 3 game losing streak could result in Pittsburgh falling out of playoff contention. This was supposed to be a gimme, considering the Bengals are in last place in the AFC North, and lost their rookie QB, Joe Burrow, to injury a few weeks back. Three Pittsburgh turnovers in the first half says that psychologically, the Steelers have lost their way.

Could a Steeler collapse lead to Cleveland or Baltimore taking the division? Well, Pittsburgh closes with the Browns........!

  1. Yeah, the Muppets have a show on Disney+ called Muppets Now. To date there are five episodes. I guess that there will be more eventually.

  2. I think the average season on the streaming services is 10 episodes. They probably need more people subscribing to Disney+.
