The NFL is expected to sell its Christmas doubleheader to Netflix. This will be the first time NFL games are broadcast on the streaming service.

The move doesn't necessarily mean Netflix could become a long-term partner with a consistent schedule of games. Netflix often likes to have one-off events such as last weekend's roast of Tom Brady.

Christmas Day falls on a Wednesday this year and the NFL's original intention was to not play on the day. 

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is a suspect in an alleged assault that injured a man at a Dallas nightclub earlier this week, police have confirmed.

The Dallas Morning News reported that officers were dispatched early Monday morning to the nightclub after reports of an assault. A man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including swelling on one side of his face.

Rice, 24, was arrested in Dallas in March for his involvement in a seven-car crash that left at least seven people with injuries. He is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury, according to police.

Rice was driving 119 mph before the crash on a Dallas freeway, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Morning News.

Dallas police will not pursue sexual assault charges against Dak Prescott, with a police spokesperson saying that detectives determined there was insufficient evidence an offense was committed.

The case stemmed from an alleged incident that occurred in 2017 in which a woman said Prescott assaulted her in the back of an SUV in a strip club parking lot.

The Chicago Bears' proposal to fund a new lakefront stadium remains a "nonstarter," Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's office said after top aides met with team officials.

The Bears unveiled a $5 billion plan calling for public funding last week for an enclosed facility to be built next to their longtime home at Soldier Field. 

"As the Governor has said, the current proposal is a non-starter for the state," press secretary Alex Gough said in a statement.

"In order to subsidize a brand new stadium for a privately owned sports team, the Governor would need to see a demonstrable and tangible benefit to the taxpayers of Illinois. The Governor's office remains open to conversations with the Bears, lawmakers, and other stakeholders with the understanding that responsible fiscal stewardship of tax-payer dollars remains the foremost priority."

The Bears' plan calls for $3.2 billion for the new stadium plus an additional $1.5 billion in infrastructure. The proposal calls for $2.025 billion from the Bears, $300 million from an NFL loan and $900 million in bonds from the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority.
