Why the Simpsons are preventing an awful Bengals-Cowboys MNF game from being flexed out
That’s right, it’s all the Simpsons’ fault that we can’t get a better Monday Night Football game on our televisions.
Let’s explain: ESPN has some awesome plans for a Simpsons-themed alternative broadcast we’ll see in Week 14. The game that’s scheduled for that night? The hapless Cincinnati Bengals against the haplesslier (real word) Dallas Cowboys.
Bleh. Flex that thing out!
Except they can’t, per SI.com’s Jay Morrison who says the game “is not eligible to be flexed out because of all the drawings, voiceovers and other work that has been done for The Simpsons alt-cast that will air that night.”
D’OH!
For those asking, the Bengals-Cowboys MNF game is not eligible to be flexed out because of all the drawings, voiceovers and other work that has been done for The Simpsons alt-cast that will air that night.
