Happy Thanksgiving! Your First NFL Football Open Thread

It’s a sloppy, cold and miserable day out there up here in the north. A perfect day to skedaddle out of work and make sweet, sweet love to the couch and TV-a wonderful threesome if I say so.

It must also be a great day to be a Lions fan. By no means would it be worth the several decades of what they’ve gone through but here we are-a standalone game on a holiday, a relevant and widely admired team, a team that is most likely to bury a hated division rival in front of millions of folks. Sweet.

To anyone and everyone that has commented on this site over the last year, be well, have a good time today and drop by and say hello. You might even say what you’re grateful for. (as long as it’s snarky)

To The Game!

Packers/Lions:

-Ouch! I’ve never lacerated a kidney but that’s what Luke Musgrave did and he’s now on IR. Wear your kidney cup next time, Luke. smh…

-Detroit, as you might expect, has been winless on this most hallowed of football days for the last seven years-should end that streak today though.

-Goff is 5-1 vs Green Bay, one of the best records percentage-wise against them. One of the guys ahead of him is the drunkard Jim McMahon and the other is the legendary Bobby Layne.

-Monty on a Roll: No, that’s not a sandwich dedicated to a British WW2 general that died in a very loud boating accident. T’is actually a reference to David, who has averaged 105 yards rushing over his last four games.

-He’s not playing at Night on Broadway but you may want to take Gibbs’ combined rushing/receiving prop of 79.5. Seems like easy-peasy to me but then again, it always does.

-At 4-6 the Packers are 8th in the playoff race. Ugh. That’s a lousy football conference.

Get in here and type.
