Happy Thanksgiving.

Let's put aside all the prejudice and politics and just wish each other well.

Our non-American friends have no idea of any of this anyway.

Peace on Earth.

That's only because, the Green Bay Packers failed to show up..... As a packer backer...... It was a bad day us......... But, we were beat. (To put it mildly) Hats off to you.

I expected the Lions to blow it (as they have for the last decade), they did not start well, and the Packers did capitalize on some dumb turnovers. I am not a football fan, but it is a tradition to watch the Lions lose on Thanksgiving in my house, now it's all confusing since they won.

I wish I could agree. It looked to me more like we handed it to them. After that small flurry of activity in the 2nd quarter it turned into an early Christmas for Detriot. I have no idea where our offense was, may still stuck at the Detroit airport?
