Two of my favorite words.
So how are they linked?
There's the obvious college football bowl season or Capital One Bowl Week (which lasts nearly a month), that falls around the Christmas season, and to me, there's nothing like watching two 8-4 teams duke it out on a tv decked in garland and santa hats, but that might just be at my house.
The NBA. It's baaaaack, & I wrote a killer Twas the Night Before Christmas about it. Why wouldn't I be excited about the season starting? Even if I don't care all that much about it any other time.
The NFL. With Christmas falling on a Sunday, most of the games are being played today on Christmas Eve, with the exception of the Sunday night and Monday night primetime games.
So around Christmas, which is better? A packed Christmas Eve filled with 13 NFL games, or an NBA opening day on Christmas with a total of 5 games, including a tripleheader to kick things off?
It's hard not to be biased, but I'm trying. I'm more of an NFL fan than an NBA fan, but I do feel that the NFL on Saturday is better than the NBA on Sunday. Now, that being said, the NBA may have more viewers since it is the start of the season, but with how busy Christmas day is and how much of a lull can occur on Christmas Eve, I personally am more likely to keep the NFL games on today, and actually pay attention and sit through a game or two, than to turn on the NBA tomorrow for more than a few minutes, just to see how things are going. I'll try and keep up with the NBA games, just to know how the season's beginning, but I won't be stuck on the couch watching.
Whatever your favorite is, enjoy it. And have a Merry Christmas. But remember, it's not about the sports, or the gifts, or even the family and friends. Though those are all important and special, remember the real reason for the season. God Bless You, and Merry Christmas!
