Thanksgiving is almost here!

What's everybody doing?! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I mean it's a little tough to get past the irony of giving thanks for all we have and stuffing ourselves with food until we pass out, but still at least the meaning behind it is there. Seems like fasting would be more appropriate but hey, we're Americans, we won't give up eating for nobody!

I'm having two Thanksgivings. Sunday some of my friends are coming over and we're going to roast a turkey over the fire pit in my backyard. My friend has done something similar before so I'll let him do the bulk of the work but I'll be in charge of making sure it's a big fire ;)

Then Thursday with my family. How bout yours?

We usually have 2 Thanksgivings. One with Dan's dads side of the family on turkey day and one with Dan's moms side of the family the Saturday after. I usually go visit with my parents on Thanksgiving day for a little while but not to pig out.

I would really love to do a prime rib instead of a turkey this year. Turkey is not one of my favorite things & to eat it I have to smother it in gravy.

Best part about Thanksgiving beside eating too much and passing out.

Drinking beer outside while deep frying the bird.

Deep frying the turkey is the only way to go.

I'm with you guys on the deep-frying. I'll be hitting up all the family dinners (mine and my wife's), and then the following Saturday I'm going to have some friends over.

We'll deep-fry the turkey with some cajun seasoning, and there will be plenty of good beer on hand.

Got about 30 family members coming into town b.c my uncle has ALS and everyone has decided to come here for the holidays for the past couple years since its really hard for him to travel.

Im so fuging pumped. Wake up, breakfast w/ bloody mary/mimosa bar in the kitchen, nap, wake up again, smoke, drink some more, eat tgiving dinner, drink more with all my cousins and relatives, smoke, pass out.

wake up next day and do the same thing over again cept without all the turkey.

wait a month and do the exact same thing over Christmas.

:hurray::hurray:

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
