Football equals Thanksgiving, right? Now I would consider myself every inch of the word “fanatic” when it comes to sports, but I would have to put food over football when equating one or the other to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, by the way, is my favorite holiday! Now that that’s out of the way, I would say one of our country’s greatest pastimes is to eat turkey and watch football on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is a time for families to get together and just spend quality time. Now for those of you who live in apartments, don’t feel left out.
I am also a renter who is having house guests for the holiday. I live in a one-bedroom apartment, but it’s pretty roomy. Roomy enough for my three younger sisters to crash. It works because the atmosphere becomes more intimate and you get that closeness with your fam. Granted they’re not rabid sports fans like me, they suffer through it to spend time with me! Don’t let apartment living stop you from really enjoying your sports. I know I certainly don’t let it stop me!
The Thanksgiving Day Classic is one that carries rich tradition. This American football custom began in 1920 showcasing five teams, all of whom are now defunct. This year Thanksgiving Day gives way to 3 games on Thursday, November 27th. The Detroit Lions play host to the Tennessee Titans, fresh from their first loss of the season with a kickoff time of 12:30 PM. The Titans will definitely be taking out some frustration. Poor Lions, the Titans are going to whip them like some potatoes! Next, the Dallas Cowboys play host to the Seattle Seahawks with kickoff scheduled for 4:15 PM on Fox. Even without Tony Romo, Dallas should have no problem brushing the Seahawks to the side. And last but not least, we have the Arizona Cardinals visiting the Philadelphia Eagles with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 PM on the NFL network. I’m a little hesitant to give a prediction on this game because the Eagles are streaky, but Arizona, better yet, Kurt Warner, has definitely been showing more than shades of his former self.
