The War on Thanksgiving...


Zod

Recommended Posts

And so it begins my friend. The War on Thanksgiving is in full effect. Store fronts are now littered with Santa Clause and Christmas decor. Once again, Thanksgiving is an afterthought.

Thanksgiving is the only man based holiday. No shopping, no singing, no romantic sickening notions that make me want to vomit. Just the biggest dinner of the year, plenty of desserts, and an afternoon of watching football from the couch.

Men of the huddle, I submit to you that it is our destiny to take back Thanksgiving and hump it into the prominence it once endured. Now is our time!

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Not because of family. I'm in the woods for the whole week and at night celebrating with friends guy week. No women allowed in camp. Back to nature giving thanks of how easy we have it the rest of the year.

Our Family's Tradition? It's kinda corny, but we sing along to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant played on one of the kids old boom boxes when we break out the nanner puddin and punkin pie for desert. It's the only Thanksgiving music I know.

First recommendation to take Thanksgiving back - I literally refuse to listen to X-mas music until December. If I heard it before then I used to stick my fingers in my ears and go "lalalalala". I say we adopt a policy of humming a few bars of Arlo's song instead whenever and wherever X-mas music in played inappropriately prior to Thanksgiving.

Absolutely. I love Christmas music in small doses. 3 weeks a year is about all I can take. If I hear someone playing it between now and december I will punch them in the kidneys.

Im gonna need to go ahead and request off work. Effin love Thanksgiving.

Although, I do looove Christmas, but the past couple years we have had like 30 of my family members all fly to Charlotte for Thanksgiving and it always ends up being shitfest 200(insert year here). Pretty excited about it. Drink lots, get high, eat too much, smoke again, drink even more, beer pong, bar or stay at my aunts house and get hammered. Wake up, eat breakfast, repeat.

The only money you gotta spend for Thanksgiving is on awesome food instead of crap you gotta buy for people that they don't appreciate. I'm organizing a donation to charity this year...any person that was going to buy me something can take that money and either donate it straight to a charity or give it to me and I'll do it. I hate the materialist Christmas we celebrate. It's a joke. Got a friend who lived in South Africa for awhile and she's working with a children's charity there. Prob just donate the money to that. Any and all are welcome to participate in giving me my "Christmas" present.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by far (4th of July close second). Both are centered around family, food, drinking, and either football or blowing stuff up. God bless America.

    • Thank you so much for posting links to the players so I don’t have to copy and paste the name and look it up.
    • All signs point to legit. We’ve been way better than our record the last few years it’s just we’ve had brutal injury luck. Also I’ve watched nearly every game this year and 3 things have stood out to me even when healthy from early in the year to now: 1. Early on Lee had some brutal rotations and situational coaching but he’s improved a ton there. We lost some close ones early we should’ve won. Sure most our recent games have been blowouts but in close games we’ve improved a ton there. 2. Defense. Overall team defense has improved so much, it’s not just hot shooting winning games. This D is absolutely a real trend and sustainable. LaMelo in particular has gone from flat out bad defensively to above average. We have so much length we always should’ve been good defensively but it took time for guys to buy in and really hone in on it which they have.   3. Pretty much all our young guys have taken strides forward. Moose’s development as a passer has been insane, Miller is putting it all together to be an elite 3 tier scorer able to hit 3s, mid range and finish at the rim. LaMelo still some poor shot selection but has cut the turnovers considerably. Kon has been a great shooter all year but has steadily improved in other aspects of the game too.      It has definitely been surprising how quickly it all came together out of nowhere but really none of it surprises me. We’ve been building towards this for years now.
