So it’s the Dallas Cowboys again facing off against some team on Thanksgiving that’s a complete waste of space in a game whose high point is the biggest bully against the inferior opposition they faced being given some festively themed award presented by an overly hyped and under qualified sports personality.

Of all the rituals that are staples of traditional modern Thanksgiving, 2 of them have been a constant (not counting a visit from or to see that weird uncle that’s in ever y family) -- good food and bad football. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that was ever happy to see such players as QB Joey Harrington, QB Jon Kitna, WR Carlos Rogers or WR Mike Williams fail (although it did contribute to some silly jokes for a few family laughs such as that Charlie Batch was sacked like the turkey when mom brought it from the store).
Class sessions continue even with the apporaching T-day holiday. A feast of previewed coverage for the T-day action and of course the leftovers from Week 11. The SoTG, Chris and Weasel are the chefs!!!
Any NFL fan, be it casual or religious, knows the name of Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow. Forsaken as a guaranteed bust upon his drafting last year; Crucified as a quirky experiment when he was installed for QB Kyle Orton when the struggling Broncos named him the starter; he’s suddenly seen as a Mile-High Messiah going 3-1 as a starter going into this Thursday Night Game, keeping Denver in the hunt for the AFC East Division and revitalizing playoff hopes. However, the one ‘L’ that Tebow has endured was against a solid defense where the Detroit Lions feasted on a Tebow steak during the 45-10 route. This Thursday Night match up against the New York Jets represents the first time Tebow has faced a top-level “D” since. The Jets ‘D’, however, don’t have the same offensive support as the Lions and failed to score. Broncos win 17-13.
