Boy, we’ve hit a new low for entertainment

I’m sure many think it’s a fantastic idea, but the upcoming Bengals/Jags game will be simulcast on Disney+, with the players transformed, in real-time, into toys from Andy’s bedroom from “Toy Story”.

And we wonder why boys aren’t growing up to be real men.

Is this why Disney stock is down $3 today?, LOL

Don’t mean no harm, but I think it is a neat idea. May be good to get some kids interested in the game. I have two kids that are in their first year of tackle football. They love it, and I’d bet they’d love that as well.

Disney+, ESPN+ to host an animated, ‘Toy Story’-themed NFL game on October 1 | TechCrunch

ESPN is giving fans a live NFL game that will be fully animated in the “Toy Story” universe.

“Toy Story Funday Football” will replicate on-the-field gameplay with animated Falcon and Jaguar players — who don’t have faces, for some reason – running around on a traditional-looking field in Andy’s room. Viewers can watch every run, pass and score in real time through “state-of-the-art tracking technology,” wrote ESPN in a press release, enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats player tracking data and AI-based visualization company Beyond Sports.

Additionally, fan-favorite “Toy Story” characters like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jesse and Bo Peep will watch from the sidelines along with kid-friendly announcers explaining what’s happening throughout the game.
