This year was no different than previous years. The Lions were completely overmatched by their opponent again this year, and the Cowboys were, once again, much better than theirs. It leads to two games every year on Thanksgiving that everyone watches but are over almost as soon as the start. You would think that the NFL wants us to watch the best games available, but for whatever reason, we see terrible games every year.
The reason, I believe, is that the NFL is just looking out for us. Why would we want to watch a good game if the turkey is putting us to sleep? No no, the Thanksgiving football games are just an excuse to take a nap in front of the TV. We’ve got a game on and the day off with a full belly. What better time for a nap? The NFL realizes this, so they facilitate the nap with a boring game. At this point the only people awake are the women, and all they really want to see is a halftime show, so thats where Kelly Clarkson comes in. The NFL has thought of everything. Thanks NFL!
(In an unrelated and somber note, the Victoria Times would like to offer our prayers and condolences to the family of Joe Kennedy.)
