I guess this technically applies for next year as well

Thanksgiving
NFL:
Eagles vs Lions
Cowboys vs Panthers
Bears vs Packers

CFB:
Texas vs Texas Tech
South Florida vs UCF

Christmas
NBA:
Pelicans vs Heat
Bulls vs Thunder
Cavaliers vs Warriors
Spurs vs Rockets
Clippers vs Lakers

New Years
CFB:
The Playoffs and other NY6 bowls

MLB Opening Day


But to seriously answer your question, probably the New Year.

I hate the NFL though. And the thanksgiving CFB matchups make my bird soft.

Thanksgiving weekend as you got major games in every sport and level
Plus you got the wimmenz out shopping so no distractions.

The Battle 4 Atlantis trolled 2 states and UConn hard.

New Year's Day. How many people are even paying attention to the TV on Thanksgiving? You're eating food and catching up with family members who you're visiting or have come over to visit. Same thing with Christmas.

Yup and its the most "FAMILY" holiday there is... But to be fair I myself think that Thanksgiving holiday WEEKEND is awesome... Just look at the great games they have all weekend......

New Years. The thanksgiving matchups don't really move the needle this year (Eagles and Lions both suck, other two games are one really good team vs one who isn't really good) and football > basketball.

Playoff matchups should be good this year. If the seeding holds, Alabama/Oklahoma has a chance to be awesome.

New Year's

Or the opening Thursday and Friday of March Madness. That counts as a holiday.

I think the Thursday/Friday of Champ week is better than the 2nd round of NCAA more games and just crazy upsets making teams worry about getting in.

Thanksgiving week is awesome cause there is nfl, college football, and good college bball tourneys. Pretty great mix of stuff going on.

Like tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and watch gonzaga-Washington bball. Pretty neat. You get that with bowl season as well but bowls outside the New Years 6 are lame as frick.

Thats why it is my favorite. You can almost always predict who the good teams in the nba will be from year to year, and the association does a good job of putting those teams and stars on showcase.

An undefeated GS vs Cleveland would be so big
