Thanksgiving

Never been a big fan of Thanksgiving for some reason. Headed "home" to NJ today for Thanksgiving and this is the first time in 20 years since I left that I am going home for it.

Planning on hitting Atlantic City with some friends, Thanksgiving dinner with the family, then monster striper fishing out in the Delaware Bay on Friday.

I'm cooking the turkey -- tradition since my mom broke her leg several years ago. Funny how she's all healed, but I'm still doing the cooking -- but some things don't change; she still tells me HOW to do it.

We travel only about 20 minutes away to my uncle's church/school, where we have my dad's family get-together for lunch. Then, Thursday evening, my immediate family (siblings, kids, nephews, etc.) comes to my house for leftovers and football.

We talk politics, but nothing gets too out of hand.

My brother has been slaying them in the 40lb. range. Just caught a 57lb. 2 days ago. The weather looks like it should cooperate, so I am hoping for a good day. I'll post some pics if we do well.

that'll be a blast... i've been thinking about getting on a party boat the last few weeks, just haven't had the chance.

We go to Dan's father's side of the family for a tradional wholesome t'giving. Prior to the blessing we all state what we are most thankful for. We play games, cards and if the weather is nice we go outside to play football. After we leave there we go over to my parents house. They are the black sheep of my family. We sit around and watch TV and watch them as they try not to start fighting and cursing at each other because one of the boundaries we set was we will not tolerate fighting and cursing or else we will leave. They usually last about an hour, them we go.

...aaaaaand this is why we go to my dad's side of the family and not my mom's. I don't really want to visit the white trash palace and hear all about deer huntin' and coon dogs.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
