[Mister CIA]

Christmas Day is shaping to be a huge TV ratings showdown between the NBA and the NFL.

Insert Roger Goodell FeedMe.gif here, but I'll be in the minority tuning in for the Spurs @ OKC, though I might drop into the Cowboys game if there's a Sad Jerry shot to behold.

Well that's a fine mess. Let's break out the science books.

That NFL lineup looked much better week 1.

I'm certainly not watching the first 2 games if it means having to subscribe to Netflix. I might watch the game on Prime if there's absolutely nothing else to do.
(Spoiler: there will be other things to do.)

Did not know that, and at first I assumed you were talking about the NBA showing games on Netflix. That's one heckuva a flex by Goodell.

I took a quick spin on Google and found this, in case anyone else was wondering:

Netflix paid the NFL a reported $150 million for a three-year deal, covering two Christmas Day games in 2024 and at least one game in 2025 and 2026, effectively paying around $75 million per game for the initial holiday broadcasts. This deal marked Netflix's major entry into live NFL broadcasting, aiming to boost subscribers and advertising revenue.

Anyway no sports for me on Christmas day.
