It's the season to give thanks, that is unless you're a Detroit Lions fan. The Motor City's annual Thanksgiving Day game this year will be a win and cover for the Green Bay Packers.
If you've never had an upset tummy to the point of feeling somewhat ill before you eat, you've never tuned into a Lions Thanksgiving Classic game just before the traditional meal is served.
Family gatherings can be taxing and annoying for many. The addition of bad football can send some over the edge. Why the NFL continues to air their very own red-headed stepchild as the featured early host every Thanksgiving, I'll never know.
Would rather be at a Pistons gameDetroit fans don't even want to watch the Lions, so why the need to force them upon the rest of the country on one of its favorite holidays? I've been to sports bars in the Motor City in the last few years to watch NFL football. People were asking the servers to change the channels to the Pistons game! I was in shock! What other town would do this?
Luckily for me, I'm a schmuck and spend the holidays avoiding my family. Perhaps many cannot find the beauty in the Lions, who have dropped their last five Thanksgiving meetings by a combined score of 179-62. But I generally spend the turkey holiday in my underwear, eating beef jerky, looking for a winner.
What am I thankful for? I'm thankful for sharp cheddar cheese, Albert Hofmann and the opportunity to make easy money betting against Detroit on the holidays. No really, thanks guys. Don't change a thing.
Right about the time that you will be digging into the stuffing and mashed potatoes, Green Bay and Detroit will be kicking off a full day of football. And I will be nursing a massive hangover with a fresh beer. Don't act like you're not jealous.
The Packers roll into town as 10 ½-point favorites. That could move one way or another, depending on whether Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson will be available. Johnson is coming off of a huge game, and Stafford off a record-setting performance. Both players are dinged up and uncertain for Thursday's game.
When these teams met in Week 6, Daunte Culpepper was in for an injured Stafford, and Green Bay took full advantage of the washed-up QB, throttling Detroit 26-0. Look for another ugly blowout should Stafford be unavailable again.
Hey did I ever tell you the story about the time that my ex-girlfriend casually mentioned to me that she once went out on a 'date' with Daunte Culpepper back when she attended UCF University? Eh, this probably isn't a good time. It is the holidays after all.
Hey speaking of holidays, does anyone have Matt Holliday's address? I'm still selling bone marrow to recover the losses from that dropped fly ball. Yea you're right. Not a good time for that either.
