CBS Sports ^ | November 5, 2019 | Pete Blackburn

Even with some significant household names and star power taking the field for Monday's Giants-Cowboys game in the Meadowlands, the night's biggest headliner came via a most unexpected (and unsettling) candidate -- a rogue black cat. That's right, a black cat stole the show on "Monday Night Football.''

It may not have been the best omen for either New York or Dallas but the cat provided quite a lot of entertainment value for everyone watching both inside the stadium and at home. After somehow making its way onto the field during the second quarter of the contest, the poor kitty spent a few minutes running around the field rather helplessly as it tried to figure out where it was and why tens of thousands of strangers were watching its every move.

That cat looks like he’s spent his life eating stadium dogs and nachos.

Black cats have hard time getting adopted.

I adopted one five years ago. Nicest, sweetest little kitty. Halloween was coming and I was concerned about the people who were looking to adopt a black cat Halloween week.

Many years ago during a televised Cubs game a black cat took the field. A groundskeeper ran out and grabbed it. Bad move. The cat tore him up. The guy was a skinny black dude and looked like Steppin Fetchit carrying the cat off.

Yes, they do and it is a shame. Most have a little white on them so they are just black and white. We have five black cats. Fantastic hunters, great companions, tough as little boots and loyal.

They go with any decor.

TV just said it was the “cat player of the game” with 2 TD and running for over 170 yards! LOL!

Our rescue black cats have been, and are, wonderful and sweet. And gorgeous.

I am thouroughly enjoying the Jets’ shitshow. I can’t stand Darnold either.

Losing to what has been called the “worst team in NFL history” has got to hurt!

But at least the Jets did beat the Cowboys, which the Jints didn't.
