“Netflix to broadcast two Christmas NFL games in 2024”

[BobPSU92]

For f*ck’s sake. I won’t be watching these games.

Netflix airs 2 Christmas games in '24 in new deal

No matchups for the two Christmas Day games that will air on Netflix were revealed, but the four teams involved will play rare Wednesday regular-season contests.

Really, why? They don’t already make enough money?

 

[1995PSUGrad]

So people are upset that they have an opportunity to watch more football? I think it's a great idea.

What I would like to know is if the existing media partners knew the NFL was withholding two games almost guaranteed to get monster ratings for a bidding war. Fox, NBC, EsPN, CBS, Amazon and Peacock all passed? As Whitey Ashburn would say after yet another Phillies error or mistake, “Hard to believe, Harry, hard to believe.”

Misunderstanding?

 

[ODShowtime]

Yeah, well the Steelers are going to be the sacrificial lamb to the Chiefs so it will ruin Christmas. Well, make it kinda ****** anyway. That's the real complaint.

 

[psuro]

So, "Netflix and chill" will take on a whole new meaning? Or the same old one?

Netflix was fun when they sent you DVD's and you ripped your own copies. Since then, I don't partake.

Netflix’s got Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Just putting that out there.

The Christmas day games have been happening for a few years now, so it's not necessarily more football. Same amount of football, but now people without a Netflix subscription can't watch. I'm guessing that folks will be particularly rankled because more and more games have been going to subscription services like Amazon. That's what you get in a free market society.

Gotta love how the NFL doesn't make enough on its broadcasting rights that it feels it needs to sell games to providers that not all viewers have access to

I’m shocked, shocked I say that you weren’t consulted. I thought Latte drinking blueberry scone eaters were a huge NFL viewing base. My fraternal organization, alcoholics, weren’t consulted either.

Bob is more of a cranberry scone guy. Let's not hype him up any more than that.

Wednesday game coming off a Saturday game. Goodell is all about "Player. Safety."

Why is Saturday to Wednesday a big deal?

My wife asks me that a lot!!

How great can Christmas possibly be in FLA anyhow?

I really don't want to be here anymore; the whole place is turning into a dump. A lot to be embarrassed about but that's for other forums. The traffic alone is choking, especially when you think about who's moved here recently.

 

[Midnighter]

Also lots of Japanese language shows; I don't mind the extra football but who has time for this on Christmas? Background noise at best.

Florida is like a Black Mirror episode - it's perfect in terms of weather and beauty, but at some point you have to deal with the people there...

Sunday to Thursday is idiotic too. If it has to happen, make all teams do it during the season once then it's not an advantage for the teams that get the extra rest.

I just don't ever leave my house anymore. Maybe once a week. I could live in Alaska and it would be the same but colder.

And I'm terrified of the hurricanes this year. They're coming.

But back to complaining about football; Steelers are @ Eagles right before their X-mas gauntlet. Just throw December in the garbage I guess, in terms of wins.

Dude wtf you don’t leave your house. That’s how you’re going out? F that

Maybe I'll rise like a phoenix someday, who knows? I'm thinking of where to go next and it's not easy these days. Mountains of Central PA are looking better every day. At least I can mix in with those people and say the right things so I don't stick out.

Like whenever I go to a concert here the cool people are all around, where the hell do they all go after that?

The 302 has welcomed me n moms with warmth and cheap livin. GREAT music is an hour up the road

How quickly you forget that Tomlin’s got this.

Thanks that's reassuring.

Get above Rte. 80 to the PA Wilds. Lots of youtube videos. That's the spot.

Back to Asheville, NC.

 

[ODShowtime]

Back to Asheville, NC.

NC sounds cool but I don't want to live where they don't want me and have a name for me. I ain't no halfback.

Yes, exactly! My instincts tell me that is the general place to be safe and secure for the next 30 years or so. I just need a professional chef. Or a GF upgrade.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Back to Asheville, NC.

When I drove cc in 22 I stayed overnight in Ashville. Walked a ton of the city. It’s tremendous but I’d get bored. Philly up the road is a big fun part of my retirement.

Tell me your ideal property (in your budget) and I’ll find you a spot in Middletown

Middletown? Yuck.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Middletown? Yuck.

Why? 60 mins to Philly. 15 minutes to our boat on the peake, 1.5 to beaches, 45 mins to airport, 4k real estate taxes on 700k estate, surrounded by horse farms.
