    Default NFL Thanksgiving

    Is having the Detroit Lions play the early game on Thanksgiving the worst tradition in sports? This year we have Detroit vs Chicago in what should be an absolutely atrocious game.

    This is a team that has 3 playoff appearances since 2000.
    1 playoff win since 1991.
    And is 119-224- 2, including 13 (going on 14) 10 or more loss seasons since Barry Sanders retired.

    I understand what you're saying but I enjoy the nostalgia of seeing Detroit play on Thanksgiving. Start the game at 11:30 and have it on in the background while you're getting ready to feast.

    It's not awful it's great.

    It would be cruel to take this from Lions fans it's literally all they have.

    You'd think they'd just rather enjoy Thanksgiving with their families at this point.

    Nagy to be fired post game. It ended up being leaked today and the Bears didn't want anyone to know. Nagy is going to address the media in the next hour apparently.

    Bears vs Lions with a coach that won't even be on the team the next day... Might be a Lions W?

    Can't Bear to watch that game. Couldn't pay me enough to sit through that mess of a game. Hope many of my American friends get hit by the tryptophan bus by then.

    NYGiants fire OC Jason Garrett after a report the players have grown tired of him.

    Guy threw like 5 straight screens in the 4th and punted on 4thand5 or something in the 4th down 27-10. Guy was playing like a Madden 12 Easy Mode computer.

    It boggles my mind how much trouble some of these coaches have with basic play calling. Absolutely bizarre.

    Sucks for Nagy though. Just let him enjoy Thanksgiving lol.
