Thanksgiving Food For Thought
I would like to know who passed the law that says Detroit and Dallas will host Thanksgiving NFL games from here to eternity. Did it not dawn on the league's decision makers that this would lead to some real dogshit games that no one in their right mind would watch if it weren't for the fact that they're the only games on TV?
[whine]But, it's TRADITION[/whine]. Screw tradition. I enjoy watching football on Thanksgiving Day as much as anyone, but a Bears/Cowboys match-up? Woo. Hoo. Pass the creamed spinach and a tofu smoothie.
How tough would it be to have the teams from the previous season's conference championship games play each other on Thanksgiving Day? They've already played each other in the regular season this. It would have just involved shifting some dates. Or, at least, play two games featuring the two Super Bowl teams from last year?
Granted, this won't always result in big, glitzy marquee match-ups, seeing as the Panthers are shitting the sofa (aka: crapping the bed, screwing the pooch, sucking the big one) this year, but it would be a vast improvement over the "traditional" crappy game selection method currently employed by the league.
Just my $0.02.
And, oh yeah...GO PATS!!!
