The War on Thanksgiving...

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.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
