What do you think of the NFL's Thanksgiving games? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Every year,

the NFL plays games on Thanksgiving.

How do you guys feel about them?

I love them, and can't get enough of them, but there are a few interesting facts:

Wreckless, until this year, your Eagles had only played TWO Turkey Day games in the last 40 years; 1968 and 1989.

My Bills haven't played on Thanksgiving since 1994, and it happened four months AFTER my family moved from Buffalo to Wisconsin.

As long as I can remember the TV has been on football every Thanksgiving. It's a tradition.

Can't wait for this year's early game because

1.The Titans are playing on Thanksgiving this year!
2.A potential match-up between the lone undefeated and lone winless team!

I think football belongs on Thanksgiving. I can't imagine it not being on that day.....reguardless if it's the Lions or Cowboys. LOL

I don't think I ever watched a Lions Game on Thanksgiving because they were always getting blown out-lol

I LOVE the thanksgiving games every year- but even more this year, as FSU pointed out. SO EXCITED. I can eat, party, chill with fam and friends then watch Kurt go down faster then a bucket of chicken at Roscos. GO EAGLES.

We usually eat while the Lions are on and then afterwards its Cowboys time.
