The Happiest Place on Turf

Mickey Mouse, Simba, and Dory are getting some new teammates…

Disney announced a deal Wednesday to stream two Monday Night Football matchups this fall and Super Bowl LXI on Valentine’s Day. As part of ESPN’s first-ever broadcast of the big game, Disney+ will bring the U.S.’s most-watched annual event to 55+ international markets. Streamers can choose the standard ESPN/ABC booth with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman or ESPN Deportes’ Spanish broadcast.

Meanwhile, October baseball’s rounding second. The Rays swept the Yankees after a fan-interference call overturned a would-be game-tying homer in Game 3 (see the spectators swipe the ball), keeping the Yanks championship-free since 2009. They’ll face the winner of tomorrow’s Cleveland-Chicago Game 5 in the ALCS. The Dodgers and Brewers advanced to set up a rematch of last year’s NLCS.

Verse to consider when you’re delighting in the games, devouring a good meal, or delivering on a job well done… “Let the whole earth shout triumphantly to the LORD! Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name. For the LORD is good, and his faithful love endures forever; his faithfulness, through all generations.”
Psalm 100:1, 4-5 (CSB) (read full passage)
