Nickelodeon is airing Monday afternoon’s Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs game on Christmas. The continuation of the child-friendly network airing certain games throughout the season.
Noah Eagle is on play-by-play, Nate Burleson is the analyst and Dylan Schefter doing the reporting. Schefter is the 14-year-old daughter of ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
She’s the host of Nickelodeon’s “Nick-ified Slimelights; the “Best Play Ever.” It focuses on the top highlights around the NFL world in a given week. She’s all sorts of awesome.
It’s a really cool idea to get kids involved in the NFL as they celebrate the holiday with their families. The broadcast itself has also been a smashing success with a ton of props to entertain the young ones.
That includes Patrick Star of SpongeBob fame calling some of the game.
Santa also made an appearance, committing a penalty in the process.
Fans on hand inside Arrowhead Stadium were also getting the slime treatment.
Pineapple on pizza? Yes, according to Michelangelo.
Those watching the Nickelodeon broadcast from home were pretty pleased with the product, too.
