Welcome to a Christmas Eve edition of The Business of Sports with Andrew Brent. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah.

Warm holiday wishes to all as we close down yet another year. And it's another year in the business of sports and the business of football.

And I'll do my rant about the biggest business of football stories of the year going

through 10 to 1 my top 10 in that list. As always, this is underscored, this opening is

underscored by the one and only Sam Brant who's home with me during the holiday season

I'm not going to work on disease.

and taking you behind the scenes of the business of sports primarily the NFL so further ado, let's get into the top 10,

as I see them, the top 10 business of football stories from the year in the NFL. And this is
