The 15 best moments from the Simpsons Funday Football broadcast
Monday night's Simpsons Funday Football broadcast went off without a hitch.
The incredibly fun Simpsons-themed ESPN broadcast of the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys game gave fans some incredibly memorable moments throughout the evening.
As Homer Simpson's Cowboys and Bart Simpson's Bengals battled each other on the Springfield gridiron, the broadcast featured some hilarious sequences that would even make the Comic Book Guy impressed.
Even if you never want to see a Simpsons-themed NFL game again, you have to admit this was pretty enjoyable in spurts at the least.
Let's recap 15 of those moments that we'll be talking about all week.
Mina Kimes, Dan Orlovsky and Drew Carter did a great job with the game broadcast.
