The conversation quickly shifts to CBS President David Bonderman and the rather lackluster scheduling decisions surrounding NFL games. With two significant playoff games on the line, the reaction was one of disbelief mixed with disdain over what was branded “garbage.” As the host lamented the Christmas Eve matchups, it became clear that delivering competitive matchups on Christmas means sacrificing quality for quantity.
The outrage reached a crescendo when discussing how CBS, despite shelling out billions for the NFL broadcasting rights, found itself with no compelling games during a crucial holiday window. The absence of prime-time experiences left many feeling cheated as they were relegated to less exciting matchups.
