Muppet Central
Gonzo, Leon and Lindberg plan to form a football team. Kermit wants no part in it.

High Diving

(commercial break)

Sky Box
Statler and Waldorf talk about the sports that have been done so far.

Halftime fable
for the big halftime show, Rowlf reads a fable, "the tortose and the hare'.

The Tortose and The Hare
Bean brags about being cuter than a turtle, so the turtle challenges bean to a race. While the turtle is uglier and slower, bean concentrates too hard on looking at himself in a hand-held mirror.

Sky Box
Statler and Waldorf think the story was too slow and uncute.

Wrestling Match
it's time for the big wrestling match. Hulk Hogan versus sweetums. After defeating sweetums, a giant match (A big wrestling match, get it?) challenges the hulkster to a rematch. the match is too hot for Hulk.

Football
it's time for the football game, but the muppets opponents (The Procrastinators) don't show up, so they have to forfeit to the muppets.

Sky Box
statler and waldorf can't believe that the muppets actually won something.

Closing Number: take me out to the ball game
Due to the football game being forfeited, the cast sings "take me out to the ball game" and close the show (as rain pours on them).

Jim Hensons Closing
Jim henson: remember, it's not whether you win or lose...
Waldo C. Graphic: (showing up out of nowhere) it's whether the opponent loses that matters.
