Football on Thanksgiving

Ah, Thanksgiving. The food, the family, and of course, the football! Sounds awesome doesn't it? There's just a few tiny problems with this. One, I can't stand turkey because whenever I eat it, I just want to be eating chicken and the truth is, turkey is just dry, nasty chicken(there's a reason there's "Kentucky Fried Chicken" and not a "Tennessee Fried Turkey"). I don't like my family, and while not everyone hates their family, there's almost always at least one member of your family that you don't really like or is just plain annoying. Well, at least there's great football...NOPE! If the NFL and Roger Goodell would do it right, Thanksgiving day could be to the NFL what New Year's Day is to college football. Right now, we're stuck with the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys every year with one additional night game on the NFL Network being added very recently. Why do the Lions and Cowboys get the Thanksgiving games every year? Because the Lions started it and the Cowboys were the only ones that would do it 30 years ago. But in today's game, should that really matter? Why is it that they get to have the exposure every year? Why must we be subjected to bad football? The Lions have always sucked, so why must we be exposed to their futility? They flat out don't deserve to play on Thanksgiving. And the Cowboys are good, so what does the NFL do? They ruin the game and force us to watch the Oakland Raiders. Why Roger Goodell? Why?!?!?!The NFL is really missing out on a fantastic opportunity to make Thanksgiving to the NFL what New Year's Day is to college football. Give us the best games of the week and some of the best games of the year. Don't give us 3 crap games such as Packers-Lions, Raiders-Cowboys, and Giants-Broncos. The NFL is giving us bologna when it should be giving us filet. Give us a 3 game stretch of Bears-Vikings, Steelers-Ravens, and Patriots-Saints. Take the last game off of NFL Network and put it on NBC so more people watch it. Roger Goodell, the ball is in your court. Fix this problem now!
