Thanksgiving is such an underrated holiday. Personally, I enjoy the NYC parade, football usually, the food and of course the naps. Notice that’s plural. Anyway, we are talking the Turkey holiday with a sprinkle in of all your favorite things including football.

Fellas, we all eat Turkey & spend thanksgiving with family. Do you have any Thanksgiving tradition/ritual that you do? Not a family tradition but something ONLY YOU DO?

We are all thankful for different things… NOT GETTING SENTIMENTAL, DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT THANKSGIVING DAY.

Turkey Bowl

Fellas, it’s getting down to the nitty gritty. A few of the big dawg power house squads LSU/BAMA/ OLE MISS/ TEXAS A&M ALL WITH 3 LOSSES ARE ALL OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS……. But teams like Boise st/ SMU WITH ONLY 1 LOSS look to be in the playoffs.

Are we truly getting the BEST PLAYOFF SYSTEM WITH HOW THIS SELECTION WORKS???

Earlier in the season folks including some of us were firing Nick Sirriani, what about now?

Is Bo Nix the best qb drafted this year? Will he be the best of the group? Does this group have a chance to be better than 83?

Weeks ago we were all worried about Tua, of late there has been zero mention of concussions period, his or anyones! Would we all say it is true that the shield is the most important thing?

Watson with an NFL solution

Saquon Barkley broke into the 200 yards rushed in one game club with 255 yards and 2 TDs on Sunday vs. the LA Rams. There are only 8 guys in league history who rushed for more yards in a single game. Where would you rank Barkley as an elite running back?
