Former NFL star J.J. Watt shared his thoughts on the NFL's holiday schedule, criticizing the league for favoring money. Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season will have two games on Christmas Day and three on Saturday, which has rubbed some people off.

During Wednesday's appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," Watt disagreed with this decision, saying that the league is after the money and nothing else.

"What do you think the NFL is thinking when they do this?" AJ Hawk asked.

"I think we all know what they're thinking when they're doing this. They want more money. More football for the people. There's a Freudian slip," Watt said.
