I've never been a fan of the Thursday Night football games. After all the NFL only has them to make more money. Sometimes less is better. The extra games have never felt right but there is one exception. Thanksgiving football is a natural. Football was probably played between the Indians and the yahoos in the silly suits. Before they broke bread they probably broke the huddle. Thanksgiving football came before the NFL. It was a holiday staple of the city league teams that dotted the blue collar towns of the Midwest. It was often the season finale. The rivalry game. Traditions drive most of what we do. Especially as the holidays come into focus. Football has long been part of that Thanksgiving tradition. As satisfying as that turkey feast.
The Flea Flicker wishes everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Can't wait for that Harbaugh postgame handshake.
