Day 625 -- Thanksgiving 2021

• A Thanksgiving article on Yahoo! is about Matthew Judon of the Patriots and his hatred for macaroni and cheese.  Say it with me:  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...   
• The Minnesota Wild and New Jersey Devils had their game delayed last night -- because the Wild got stuck in New York City's holiday traffic.  Oof.  Been there and seen THAT!   
• Two Pacers fans were tossed after hurling "indecent" words at LeBron James last night.
• Matt Nagy is the coach of the Bears for now -- as Bears ownership let the team know this week before today's Thanksgiving game with the Lions...  ... so you jackasses who have been even chanting it during HIS SON'S BASKETBALL GAME can SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!    
• Spied on the Detroit game:  "Tonight, I'll be eating with Uber Eats.  Offical Food Partner of the NFL".  Typo was NOT mine.    
• Speaking of advertisements for the ineptitude of the NFL and why teams like the Lions are bad business, even if they make money:  I present this game.  It now appears Chicago is going to win with a short field goal off of a penalty for double time-outs after the defense couldn't get set up inside the 15.  On some level, you have to recognize that there are men masquerading as professional athletes -- they have neither the intelligence nor the talent necessary to even do this, and because the NFL is a license to print money, no one is going to care.  We have another Fantastic Finish (tm) between a team with maybe five relevant NFL players on it's 53-man roster and a team with a few more.  Perfect time to get some sleep if you're not in Chicago or Detroit.   
• Chicago 16 - Detroit 14.
• And we've already got Refball in the second game -- FOR Las Vegas and AGAINST Dallas?  WTF???  Clear "three element" catch and football move, and then a punch-out fumble, ruled incomplete...
• How is Perryman for the Raiders still allowed in the game with a clear-path, no-mitigation SPEARING foul in this game as well?? That play is TEXTBOOK for the three conditions for a helmet-foul ejection. Hey, CBS, wanna get your rules guru on to explain that no-call, or would it expose the business that you're at least trying to make this game close, at barest minimum?? 
• Sean Hochuli is enjoying this camera time way too much.
• I think it's time we take Dallas off the top of the list or near it.  Why?  Not only did they lose to Las Vegas on Thursday in overtime, but Anthony Brown was called for defensive pass interference FOUR TIMES, including to set up the winning field goal.  All four penalties, including two on the same drive, led to Raider scores.  Methinks we have a live one here...  And I wanna know why!  
• BTW, that is NOT an NFL record.  In fact, it's not even the first time since 2000 a single player has gotten 4 DPI penalties in a game.  It's the third.
• According to one Tweeter, that was part of SEVEN DPI penalties (along with at least one roughing the passer) on the Cowboys today.  In total, this game became the 17th in NFL history in which both teams had at least 14 penalties -- the 28 penalties are the most in the league this season.  The 166 penalty yards for Dallas are a Cowboys record.
• It also doesn't count two penalties with one player from each team being thrown out of the game for a sideline fight!
• If I were Commissioner and had any belief the games were legitimate, I would have Mr. Brown (and Mr. Hochuli -- see above, before the PI's) in my office 9 AM Friday morning for questioning.
