Ahhhh, Thanksgiving; the time for families to get together and indulge in a feast fit for kings. It is quite possibly one of the greatest holidays of all time. I mean think about it, you see all of your family (could be a bad thing), drink heavily, have a huge meal, and watch football. In the eyes of a man, this doesn't sound too bad at all. My personal favorite parts of the holiday are the football games. There's something about thanksgiving football that's just magical. I mean after all, my favorite team is one of the three that is honored every year with the opportunity to play on thanksgiving. Wouldn't one assume this would be an even greater addition to this already spectacular holiday? WRONG!
Here's how my Thanksgiving went this year. It started off great with a few beers, watching the earlier games with my brother while waiting for the meal to be ready. More of my family arrives and we begin to eat. Dinner goes great as we enjoy laughs and each others company. Finally it's time. The perfect climax to a wonderful Thanksgiving day is now upon us. The Jets are playing in the prime-time match-up against arch rival New England, who I hate with a burning passion. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a realist. I'm well aware of how the Jets have played all season, and especially how the Pats have. I'm not exactly expecting victory, but seriously...c'mon. 21 POINTS IN LESS THAN A MINUTE!? Really New York, really Sanchez, really Rex? You couldn't even just be competitive so I could end the night without crying myself to sleep? If one ever wondered what it would look like to see a college team play an NFL team, one may have been able to see what this would look like Thursday night when the Jets took the field. Anyways, thanks for ruining my "almost" perfect Thanksgiving New York.
