I love it! The NFL sticking it to the NBA! They crushed the NBA in ratings last year.

NFL ratings dominate Christmas viewership over NBA's slate of games

Viewership results from the two leagues show a big disparity in audience for their Christmas Day games.

We celebrate Christmas Eve, so I'm good with Christmas Day football.

Agreed. Christmas Day - especially the afternoon - is a great time to just hang out with the family. We will have a nice dinner, but also the TV will definitely be on the whole time since everyone is a football fan.

I thought I'd never get tired of football. Roger Goodell is putting up a very good fight. The game is getting way too oversaturated.

Absolutely ****ing Disgraceful.

Doesn't have anything to do with Christmas either.

"Player Safety" my ass. That is - and continues to be - a ****ing Lie.

I ****ing HATE the ****ing NFL, Stokoe Goondell, and ALL of the Non-Men at 345 Park Ave. **** them ALL to ****ing Hell, and that Right Soon.

Player safety would give the teams playing a bye the week before the game, giving them 11 days before the game and 13 days after.

2 games in 5 days. Right, the NFL "really" cares about player safety.

C'mon, Ken, it's for the kids. It's a gift. A literal bow-tied NFL gift. So what if it costs a few brain cells and a couple of guys drooling in their late 40s. It's for the the mon...ah, kids.

Going Saturday and Wednesday is no worse than Sunday and Thursday. We already have weekly Thursday games so I am just a bit curious about why this announcement set so many people over the edge.

Thursday games suck too, unless Both teams are given byes the prior week.
