Football, Christmas Day, playoff implications, Netflix streaming: [View all]

about as clueless as it gets, NFL. KC at Pittsburgh and Baltimore at Houston: two potentially excellent games, with division championships and playoff seeds on the line, on the biggest holiday of the year in the middle of the week. The NFL bills it as unprecedented. Yeah, it's never been done because it's a really bad idea.

One positive, if you can call it such: I imagine the games will be repeated on the NFL channel -- if you get can that through your streaming service. Prime's Thursday night games are.

That said ...

Merry Christmas, football fans.
