Thanks for Nothing NFL

As a die-hard fan of the National Football League and a football purist (believe it or not, I don’t even have to play fantasy football to enjoy watching!), I could not go another year without venting about the annual Thanksgiving gameday offering. On yesterday’s menu was the 8-2 New England Patriots at the 2-8 Detroit Lions, the 7-3 New Orleans Saints at the 3-7 Dallas Cowboys, and the 2-8 Cincinnati Bengals at the 8-2 New York Jets. Seriously, the only people thankful for this barn-burner lineup were Turkey Day gamblers receiving the gimme three-team parlay. I admit that the Cowboys at home under new coach, Jason Garrett, had a chance at knocking off the defending Super Bowl champs, but having won a single playoff game in the last fourteen years, “America’s Team” has to be “America’s Most Overrated Team”.
