It’s Monday Night Football season once again, and ESPN’s wacky uncanny valley animations have returned.
Football fans got a taste of what ESPN has been cooking up earlier this preseason when they pelted Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll with fish. ESPN has haunted football fans with their legendary animations for years now, from Joe Flacco sprouting raven wings and dancing to the Bills’ Home Alone parody.
And now, add Nathaniel Hackett to the list of people ESPN has turned into deformed monstrosities, as the Denver Broncos head coach starred as Indiana Jones stealing away Russell Wilson from the Seahawks.
Our animations are back 😄

My nightmares are going to be haunted by this smirking Hackett for the rest of my days. Thanks ESPN!
