"When the Commanders face the Cowboys and the Vikings play the Lions on Christmas Day, ESPN talent won’t appear on the Netflix presentation of the games," reports Front Office Sports' Ryan Glasspiegel and Michael McCarthy. "Fox talent is not expected to appear, either. Things could change in the event that Netflix agrees to the terms the networks have demanded. ESPN talents who worked last year’s Netflix slate included Laura Rutledge and Mina Kimes. Fox denied a request for its top announce team of Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt but eventually relented to allow Greg Olsen to work as a color commentator." They add that Netflix may have to rely on talent from NFL Network and CBS.
