A New Football Broadcast Experience brought to you by…Toy Story?

ESPN recently brought us a “Toy Story” themed alternate broadcast during the NFL game between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars. The action unfolded in the fictional Toy Story character Andy’s room, and featured fully-animated gameplay in real time, with beloved Pixar characters making appearances throughout. The broadcast, which was available on ESPN+ and Disney+, had a handful of technical issues, including miscues with ball tracking, various glitches, and random cuts. But the most memorable moment may have come from a discussion between the commentators about Aaron Rodgers, drugs, and UFO conspiracies that we hope went over the heads of the intended audience.
