Netflix will have one of its biggest days Wednesday since the site launched in 1998 when it airs two NFL games for the first time. "NFL Christmas Gameday on Netflix" begins with a two-hour pregame show at 11 a.m., before Pittsburgh hosts Kansas City. Baltimore faces Houston in the second game. The streaming giant agreed to a three-year contract in May to carry Christmas Day games. Netflix's 282.3 million subscribers in over 190 countries will be able to stream the games, marking the first time one outlet has distributed an NFL game globally. Netflix will have the games available in five languages — English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. The games will also air on CBS affiliates in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston. NFL policy dictates that games on cable or being exclusively streamed must also be on an over-the-air station in the competing teams' markets. It will also be available on mobile devices in the U.S. for those who have NFL+. The biggest reason is money. The league is getting $150 million from Netflix for the two games this season. It also continues the NFL's moves into streaming — Thursday night games are in their third season on Amazon Prime Video and the "Sunday Ticket" package moved to YouTube TV last year. But Christmas is on a Wednesday when games usually aren't played. That's true, but the league wasn't about to give up Christmas after seeing the ratings. Last year's three games averaged 28.68 million viewers. The early afternoon contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Chiefs led the way, averaging 29.48 million. The Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens and Texans played on Saturday, giving them the same turnaround they would have if they played on Sunday and then Thursday. All four have clinched playoff spots in the AFC, but seeding remains up for grabs. Kansas City (14-1) can clinch the top seed — which would mean a first-round bye and home field throughout the playoffs — with a win over the Steelers. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are tied atop the AFC North at 10-5, with the Steelers holding the tiebreaker due to a better conference record. Houston (9-6) has wrapped up the AFC South and holds the fourth seed. Netflix hopes so. Brandon Riegg, Netflix's vice president of nonfiction series and sports, said the system was stress tested, and then some, during the Nov. 14 bout, along with internet service providers reporting they were also overwhelmed by the surge that occurred before and during the fight. The bout peaked at 65 million concurrent streams, including 38 million concurrent streams in the United States. According to the website Down Detector, nearly 85,000 viewers logged problems with outages or streaming leading up to and during the fight. Possible? Yes. Likely? No. The largest audience for a streamed-exclusive NFL game was 23 million on Peacock for last season's AFC wild-card game between the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs. Nielsen will measure the ratings for the Christmas Day games, with early numbers expected late afternoon on Thursday. It will probably be at kickoff for both games, but especially around 5:45 p.m. EST. That would be near halftime of the Ravens-Texans game, and when Beyoncé will be performing. Mariah Carey will kick off the day with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You." There is no word if Taylor Swift will make the trip to Pittsburgh to watch her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift has been spending time in Kansas City since she wrapped up her Eras Tour two weeks ago. How many Christmas games will Netflix carry in the next two seasons? The NFL will have at least two games on Dec. 25 in 2025 and '26, with Netflix slated to have at least one each year. Amazon Prime Video will have a night game with Christmas on a Thursday next year. Netflix's worldwide partnership with World Wrestling Entertainment will begin on Jan. 6 when "Monday Night Raw" moves to the streaming service. On Friday, Netflix secured the U.S. rights for the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup.Samsung's CES 2025 keynote theme will be 'AI For All'None

INDIANAPOLIS – Death. Taxes. And Quenton Nelson. Star running back Jonathan Taylor suggested Thursday the Indianapolis Colts’ All-Pro left guard is one of life’s inevitabilities. A legion of NFL defenders likely would nod in resigned agreement. “Any time backs come in, I always tell them, ‘Listen, when in doubt, you know 5-6 (Nelson’s jersey number) will take you to the light,’” Taylor said. “But what he does is (a result of) preparation throughout the week, what he does in the offseason, his routine in season. He's a true professional, and it shows week in, week out and year after year. So I'm just thankful, and I'm glad that I'm on a team with him.” Nelson played a pivotal role in Sunday’s 38-30 victory against the Tennessee Titans, helping to usher the way for Taylor to gain 218 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. The Colts gained a single-season franchise record 335 total yards on the ground, and Nelson shook off a fourth-quarter ankle injury to return even while many on the sideline suggested he should rest with the game apparently in hand. Nelson again put together a highlight reel of dominant blocks, none more impressive than his effort on quarterback Anthony Richardson’s 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. After pulling from his position, Nelson quickly got to the second level in front of Richardson and drove his defender through the back of the end zone. The quarterback essentially jogged into the end zone behind Nelson, untouched and unbothered. "It makes it easier for me,” Richardson said. “I get to see 56 running around. I just get to follow up behind him and let him do his dirty work, and I just follow up and get the touchdown. I get all the credit, but, no, he does all the dirty work for us. So we appreciate that for sure." Nelson emphatically threw his arms up in celebration as Richardson crossed the goal line. That’s also in character for the hulking lineman. He’s almost always the first player to pick up a ball carrier after a run – no matter the distance from the line of scrimmage – and Richardson said Nelson often is happier than the player who scored each time Indianapolis finds the end zone. It’s a mentality Nelson said was installed by former Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, and his joy is the product of a total team effort. “There’s 11 guys doing their job for the common goal of scoring a touchdown and trying to win the game,” Nelson said. “Seeing it come to fruition after all the hard work we put in during the week is awesome.” Guard is far from a glamour position, and it’s not among the most highly valued roles in the NFL. Very few players at the position become stars. But Nelson is on another level. When he was drafted with the sixth overall pick in 2018 after a sterling career for the Fighting Irish, Colts owner Jim Irsay immediately made Hall of Fame comparisons. Nelson has lived up to the high expectations with three first-team All-Pro nods and six Pro Bowl appearances in his first six seasons. He’s one of the most recognizable names on Indianapolis’ roster and a fan favorite. But, despite outside appearances, Nelson’s success was not inevitable. His unmatched drive and work ethic have allowed him to reach the game’s elite levels. “I think his competitive nature that he brings every single day, his toughness, his attitude, his love for the game, and he plays that way,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said of what sets Nelson apart. “I mean, he shows up for his guys every single day and does it the right way and plays for the guy next to him every single time. “He's got that relentless determination that you want up front. Just a hell of a leader for us. And obviously, when we need a big play, too, a lot of the times he's our lead blocker in those situations.” Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (toe), Richardson (back, foot) and linebacker E.J. Speed (knee) did not practice Thursday. Indianapolis reportedly is optimistic Richardson will be able to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies (shoulder) and Nelson (ankle) were limited. Cornerback JuJu Brents (knee), cornerback Jaylon Jones (throat), wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) were full participants. Safety Raheem Lane (knee), linebacker Micah McFadden (neck), wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe), center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder, shin), running back Tyrone Tracy (ankle) and wide receiver Dee Williams (toe) did not practice for the Giants. Defensive tackle Cory Durden (shoulder), offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (wrist), quarterback Drew Lock (right shoulder) and offensive guard Greg Van Roten (knee) were limited.It has taken new Michigan coach Dusty May just nine games to guide the Wolverines into the Top 25. May and the Wolverines enter the poll at No. 14 and strive to continue their strong start when they face Arkansas in the Jimmy V Classic on Tuesday night in New York. Michigan (8-1) has reeled off seven straight wins to crack the rankings for the first time in nearly 25 months. "All this stuff doesn't matter to me," May said of the rankings. "It does change the complexion of what we think about and things like that. Overall, I like where we are. We have guys who work well together and they put in the time." The Wolverines look to remain hot against the Razorbacks (7-2). John Calipari's first Arkansas squad has won its past two games. Calipari spent the previous 15 seasons as coach of Kentucky and claims he's excited to be in Arkansas. "I'm not bitter about anything. I'm not," Calipari said. "This is the first page of the first chapter of a new book. The timing for me and my career and my life, this is perfect. And I appreciate the fans and everybody giving me the opportunity to do that." The Razorbacks will be searching for their initial milestone victory under Calipari during their first visit to Madison Square Garden since 1997. Their losses this season are to then-No. 8 Baylor and Illinois on neutral courts. Calipari grabbed several players out of the transfer portal in the offseason, including guard Johnell Davis, one of the stars of the Florida Atlantic team that reached the 2023 Final Four. That squad was coached by May. One of the other Florida Atlantic starters was center Vladislav Goldin, who followed May to Michigan after the coach was hired in the offseason. Goldin has strung together three straight solid games, including a season-best 24 points in a 67-64 road win over then-No. 11 Wisconsin on Dec. 3. He followed that up with 20 points and a season-high 11 rebounds in Saturday's 85-83 home win over Iowa. "He's just been a guy that you can see when he's really locked in and focused there's a different level of play," said May, "and I think now he's finding that level of play." Goldin is part of a balanced attack. Roddy Gayle Jr. averages a team-best 12.2 points per game, followed by Tre Donaldson and Danny Wolf at 12.1 and Goldin at 12.0. Wolf averages a team-best 10 rebounds per game. Arkansas is coming off a 75-60 home victory over UTSA on Saturday. Adou Thiero excelled by matching his career high of 26 points to go with 10 rebounds. Thiero scored 17 points in the second half when the Razorbacks overcame a five-point halftime deficit to outscore the Roadrunners by 20. "We've been seeing that the whole summer," Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile said of Thiero's strong play. "Him dominating. Dominating in practice and (Calipari) pushing him. This is just a reflection of the work he's done this summer and him trusting the coaches." Thiero leads the Razorbacks with averages of 18.6 points and 6.1 rebounds. Boogie Fland is averaging 15 points and Zvonimir Ivisic is scoring 12 per game. Davis (9.3) started slow with just two double-digit outings in the first seven games before averaging 12.5 over the last two games. Michigan holds a 4-3 edge in the all-time series. The Wolverines recorded an 80-67 home victory on Dec. 8, 2012 in the most recent meeting. --Field Level MediaFrance's second woman premier makes surprise frontline returnBlake Lively accuses 'It Ends With Us' director Justin Baldoni of harassment and smear campaign

MIAMI — Even the most discerning art connoisseurs must occasionally ask themselves an honest question: “Is this work good, or is it just big?” Scale is the art market’s quintessential sleight of hand, and never is it on more flagrant display than at an art fair, where mammoth sculptures and paintings distract from the bleak trade show ambiance. Monumentality is the guiding principle of the Meridians section at Art Basel Miami Beach, and on opening day, December 4, onlookers stood in strangely quiet reverence around Portia Munson’s “Bound Angel” (2021) — an installation that I can confirm is not only big but also good. A long, oval table reminiscent of an altar or the votive candle stands found at churches is crowded with hundreds of thrifted objects — ceramic angel figurines, kitschy lamps, a soap dispenser — all a ghostly alabaster white and tied up with cord or rope. Tangled cables pool on the floor near the trail of a tablecloth made of repurposed wedding dresses. “I was thinking about the kinds of messages that are given to us through these seemingly innocent objects that are pervasive throughout the culture, but almost hidden in plain sight,” Munson, who was standing by her installation, told me. “They’re actually somewhat instructional, in a negative way, about who you’re supposed to be as a woman — beautiful angels, young, white, saintly, but also sexy,” she added. Get the latest art news, reviews and opinions from Hyperallergic. Daily Weekly Opportunities It’s an especially resonant message at a political moment when “we are stepping backward in time” with regard to women’s rights, Munson continued, and in a state where an amendment to protect abortion rights requiring a 60% majority failed to pass by a sliver of votes. The work was an oasis on a day that brought few such reprieves. I felt a wave of dread wash over me from the moment I approached the Miami Beach Convention Center, remembering that Miami-Dade voted resoundingly for Donald Trump in last month’s elections, turning the county red for the first time since 1988. To access my ticket, I had to download the new AI-powered Art Basel app, which opens with a questionnaire that can’t be opted out of. It asks users to identify their “relationship with the art world” — dealer, artist, art enthusiast, “government” (?), etc. — as well as their “art style” and dining preferences. This is presumably meant to inform the app’s new Microsoft-backed chatbot, but it also struck me as a glaring data-collection effort that made my entrance feel even more dystopian. (I reached out to Art Basel for comment.) Inside the fair, the atmosphere was jarringly sanguine, with dealers reporting blue-chip sales galore. Half a million for a Carmen Herrera and $675,000 for a Sean Scully painting at Lisson’s booth. At the booth of Jenkins Johnson Gallery, a massive Mary Lovelace O’Neal canvas with an asking price of $1.8 million remained unsold as of Wednesday afternoon, but probably not for long, a gallery attendant intimated. Thaddeus Ropac Gallery sold a brand-new Anthony Gormley sculpture for £500,000 (~$637,200) and a painting by Tom Sachs, whose studio workplace culture was the subject of scrutiny just last year, for $190,000. (The gallery placed six pieces before the show even opened, including a $2 million Georg Baselitz painting). And at the Rosetta Bakery cafe inside the fair, a bottle of water, drip coffee, orange juice, and the world’s tiniest shortbread cookie set me back $30.59. But are things as good as they seem? According to a press release, this year’s edition boasts 34 first-time exhibitors, perhaps a harbinger of shifts in Art Basel’s notoriously exclusive application process. On the other hand, I counted 50 galleries in the 2023 edition that were absent from this year’s lineup, including market-savvy spaces such as Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Clearing, and Simone Subal. A few of them shuttered or downsized in the last 12 months (Cheim & Read, Helena Anrather, Mitchell Innes & Nash), and others opted for smaller fairs like NADA instead (Mrs., 56 Henry). However, at least 10 galleries that were originally slated to participate this year, according to an exhibitor list issued this summer, disappeared from the lineup. In response to a request for comment, an Art Basel spokesperson referred to a “small number of changes” made to “ensure the best possible experience for exhibitors, artists, clients, and visitors,” and declined to comment further “as a courtesy to our exhibitors.” Maybe the sheer cost of participating in Art Basel has something to do with it. Fees for the Miami Beach edition this year range from $26,850 for the smallest booth to $191,360 for the largest, typically reserved for blue-chip galleries that can break even with a single sale. That’s only the tip of the iceberg — it costs $600 just to apply for the fair, with no guarantee of acceptance, and then there’s airfare, hotels, and installation and production expenses. The message is clear: Art Basel might be worth it, if you can afford it. Henrique Faria, whose namesake New York-based gallery focuses on Latin American avant-garde movements, acknowledged that costs factored into the equation when he decided to opt out of the Miami fair circuit this year (he has exhibited at Untitled Art and Art Basel in previous years). But it was also a calculation informed by current political events and the perpetual question of whether and how to address them in an art-fair context. “The art world is full of -isms, as is any other field. And we need to avoid at all costs opportunism, the biggest -ism of all,” Faria told me. “Even though we are in agreement with a lot of the topics that are being treated within the art world, I think we need to treat them seriously.” “In order to stage a proper comeback, we need to rethink our presentations and choose our battles properly,” Faria added. Jochan Meyer of Meyer Riegger gallery in Berlin, Karlsruhe, and Basel, which showed at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2023, said they passed on the fair this year because of prices and an uncertain cost-benefit analysis, particularly given their highly conceptual program. Part of the problem, he noted, is the lack of reliable information about sales from non-blue-chip exhibitors. “Everyone hears about the big-ticket sales, but it’s impossible to know how the other galleries are doing,” Meyer told me in a phone call. The last six months have brought reports of varying veracity attesting to a period of market “correction,” a euphemistic term that implies that economic downturns are the universe’s way of showing us the true value of things. Perhaps as a result of this instability, Steve Henry, a senior partner at Paula Cooper Gallery, told me that he’s observed an uptick in interest in what he called the “classics”: Sol DeWitt and Claes Oldenburg, for instance, and Mark di Suvero, whose sculpture “Untitled (Swing)” (2008–2022) towered above us at the fair booth. “They smile like they’re five years old,” Henry noted of visitors’ reactions to the genuinely unexpected artwork, which is both big and good. It was under consideration, he said, for “just around a million dollars.” There are much less subtle takes to be found if you seek them out. Roger Leifer, a Miami- and Connecticut-based collector wearing a t-shirt that read “ART BSL” who had just come from a one-hour tequila tasting in the VIP Lounge, told me candidly that the art market is directly tied to the stock market, and by that measure, art should be selling like hotcakes. “The stock market is doing amazing. I mean, people made so much money — including me,” Leifer said, adding that he prefers Art Miami to Art Basel but that the people-watching is unquestionably superior at the latter — just before speaking to me, he caught a glimpse of disgraced casino magnate Steve Wynn. I’m writing this from the bar at Sweet Liberty on 20th Street in Miami Beach. It’s a beloved local watering hole that the elegant woman with slicked-back hair sitting next to me calls a “Miami institution” and whose number-one house rule , “no name-dropping, no star fucking,” will likely be tough to enforce during Art Week. A baseball cap with the phrase “Art is Dangerous” catches my eye; the kind-eyed man wearing it is Bruce Allen Carter, an arts educator who serves on the National Council on the Arts and made the hat himself. He wears it to events where he’s expected to be in formal wear, and it always starts a conversation. Encountering the message at the end of the day felt foreboding. Can art still be dangerous? I hope so, but likely not within the bubble of an art fair. The “Basel-is-back-baby” energy feels disconcertingly at odds with the tsunami of neo-fascism cresting around us — or maybe they’re two sides of the same coin. We hope you enjoyed this article!

"NFL Christmas Gameday on Netflix" begins with a two-hour pregame show at 11 a.m., before Pittsburgh hosts Kansas City. Baltimore faces Houston in the second game. The streaming giant agreed to a three-year contract in May to carry Christmas Day games. Where will the games be available? Netflix's 282.3 million subscribers in over 190 countries will be able to stream the games, marking the first time one outlet has distributed an NFL game globally. Netflix will have the games available in five languages — English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. The games will also air on CBS affiliates in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston. NFL policy dictates that games on cable or being exclusively streamed must also be on an over-the-air station in the competing teams' markets. It will also be available on mobile devices in the U.S. for those who have NFL+. People are also reading... Why is the NFL putting Christmas Day games on a streaming platform? The biggest reason is money. The league is getting $150 million from Netflix for the two games this season. It also continues the NFL's moves into streaming — Thursday night games are in their third season on Amazon Prime Video and the "Sunday Ticket" package moved to YouTube TV last year. But Christmas is on a Wednesday when games usually aren't played. That's true, but the league wasn't about to give up Christmas after seeing the ratings. Last year's three games averaged 28.68 million viewers. The early afternoon contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Chiefs led the way, averaging 29.48 million. The Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens and Texans played on Saturday, giving them the same turnaround they would have if they played on Sunday and then Thursday. What is at stake for the teams playing? All four have clinched playoff spots in the AFC, but seeding remains up for grabs. Kansas City (14-1) can clinch the top seed — which would mean a first-round bye and home field throughout the playoffs — with a win over the Steelers. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are tied atop the AFC North at 10-5, with the Steelers holding the tiebreaker due to a better conference record. Houston (9-6) has wrapped up the AFC South and holds the fourth seed. Has Netflix fixed its streaming problems from the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight? Netflix hopes so. Brandon Riegg, Netflix's vice president of nonfiction series and sports, said the system was stress tested, and then some, during the Nov. 14 bout, along with internet service providers reporting they were also overwhelmed by the surge that occurred before and during the fight. The bout peaked at 65 million concurrent streams, including 38 million concurrent streams in the United States. According to the website Down Detector, nearly 85,000 viewers logged problems with outages or streaming leading up to and during the fight. Could there be the same number streaming the games that there were during the fight? Possible? Yes. Likely? No. The largest audience for a streamed-exclusive NFL game was 23 million on Peacock for last season's AFC wild-card game between the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs. Nielsen will measure the ratings for the Christmas Day games, with early numbers expected late afternoon on Thursday. When could there be surge in demand on Wednesday? It will probably be at kickoff for both games, but especially around 5:45 p.m. EST. That would be near halftime of the Ravens-Texans game, and when Beyoncé will be performing. What other celebrities will appear? Mariah Carey will kick off the day with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You." There is no word if Taylor Swift will make the trip to Pittsburgh to watch her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift has been spending time in Kansas City since she wrapped up her Eras Tour two weeks ago. How many Christmas games will Netflix carry in the next two seasons?
