The Lions on Thanksgiving

So the latest issue by the pundits is the fact that the Detroit Lions play anywhere on Thanksgiving day as they are so turrible. Well how do you think the turkeys feel? The one day of the year they give their life for the betterment (?) of so many in this country. Couldn't we just categorically change this to a cow, lamb, chicken, or hog? Why the turkey? Or maybe let's all go out and harpoon a salmon or tuna and plot those on the huge platter that all the good people would wow in amazement. Imagine the fish gravy that grandma, and only grandma, could muster up in such a way that would cover up the smashed potatoes. If you really think of it we are supposed to be appeasing the white folk and the red folk (Indians?) as friends. So why not the fish?
So yes, the NFL has decided their turkey of choice has to be the Lions. This year it is the Titans who get to feast on them. OK, OK, it is time to move this tradition on and find another. How about the Patriots? I can think of many a people that would love to carve the Pats.
Enjoy your meal.
