We are a week away from Turkey Day, or as Garfield calls it, "the Super Bowl of eating."
It's a good time for my biannual Random Thoughts.
1. How many Cinci and Pittsburgh fans will be present on the NFL thread for the NFL Network's Thursday game? (I won't- Georgia Tech/Miami has more at stake)
2. Speaking of NFLN, am I the only one who hates these non-Sunday NFL games? For decades, I could watch Saturday NFL games on NBC, CBS, or FOX. Now, I need to use the internet, not the TV! (The only decent Turkey Day game, Cardinals/Eagles, is on that blasted network!)
3. Arizona's Cardinals are starting to remind me of the magical 2006 Saints- All-Pro QB, great wideouts, bright and energetic coach, a previously sorry history. For everyone saying Arizona is not a playoff threat, remember those Saints.
4. After seeing HD MM's Mighty Quinn turn Buffalo into burgers, I feel that Buffalo should switch to J.P. Losman, who can throw a ball for more than 15 yards. Both Browns QB's have more arm strength COMBINED than week-armed Trent.
5. Is it just me or are the Indianapolis Colts becoming overhyped and overexposed? I personally don't see them making it past Wild-Card Weekend.
6. Do you guys ever try other pies on Thanksgiving besides the traditional Pumpkin Pie?
7. I can't believe nobody mentioned the ridiculously weird and bizarre finish in last night's UAB/Arizona game. It had the dumbest foul you'll ever see!
8. Which NFL game this weekend is most likely to be played in snowy weather?
9. If anyone watches 'PTI,' does anyone else think that Wilbon is becoming increasingly annoying? I think so.
10. It's amazing how most of us guys get so weak-kneed and tongue-tied whenever Sandra's around.
11. Will the Lions break out their alternate black unis on Turkey Day? IMO, it might be their best chance to reverse this year's malaise.
12. What happened to lancemccafrey? I haven't heard from him since August.
13. Who's your choice for NFL Coach of the Year? IMO, the award is a wide-open race this year.
14. HD MM, what does the second M in MM stand for? So far, I've got "High Definiton Matt." What's the last part of the name, HD?
15. Sandra, if you were around during the days when Joe Willie Namath was at his apex as a player and sex symbol, how gaga would you have been for him? I can't imagine how you would have felt about him if you were around in the 1960s at this age.
16. In terms of windchill, what's the coldest weather you can ever recall?
17. Who's your choice for NFL Defensive Player of the Year?
18. Is it a fact or myth that the day after Thanksgiving is the year's busiest and most difficult shopping day?
19. The Chiefs and Raiders are going to set pro football back 4 decades.
20. What are some of your best and worst Thanksgiving memories?
21. Washington/Washington State play this week in the Apple Cup- who ya got in the battle of the bad?
