Christmas Day in sports is usually associated with the NBA. In 2022, the hoops will share the spotlight with the NFL.
NFL broadcasting VP Mike North spoke to WGR’s Sal Capaccio this week and spilled the news the league is planning a tripleheader on Christmas, which falls on a Sunday:
“We’ll play one game on CBS in the afternoon, one game on Fox in the afternoon, and our regular Sunday night game on NBC,” North said. “Christmas, when it falls on an NFL game day, we’ve had a lot of success there, all due respect to our friends at the NBA.”
… the bulk of the weekend’s games will be played on Saturday, December 24. There also will be a Christmas Eve night game on NFL Network.
The Thursday night opener in LA?
