It doesn't have to be the holiday season to be reminded that the NFL is the gift that keeps on giving.

The gossip and debate typically won't disappoint you, unlike the last few seasons of "Game of Thrones." That's right. The NFL always delivers.
(Well, except if you're a Jets fan.) But more simply put: This league. To that end, 2024 has been another banner year for the Niffle.
