ESPN Coming to Disney+

[Mark Jeffries]

A tile for the ESPN+ streamer is already on the home page for Disney Bundle subscribers and when the big streaming version of the Worldwide Leader launches next year, Disney+ subscribers will get to watch at least 100 events a year from the mainline ESPN at no additional cost, along with a Disney+-only daily edition of "SportsCenter," a few of the shout shows like "PTI" and some Disney+-only content:

Since I don't think it's been mentioned here, Disney+ and ESPN+ will stream Monday night a simulcast of the Monday Night Football game between Cincinnati and Dallas as if it was being played by cartoon characters at the Atoms Stadium in Springfield as in the home of "The Simpsons," in a sequel to last year's "Toy Story" simulcast, with Homer and Bart in the stands rooting, Marge and Lisa doing sideline interviews, Maggie running the SkyCam and Stephen A. Smith as a "Simpsons" character. As they say on the interwebs, Worst. Episode. Ever.
