Thoughts from a Very Long Weekend

Thanksgiving, football, Family & Friends, black Friday, more football, more turkey, more family, a movie, more football, coaches resigning, coaches getting fired, some wet stuff falling from the sky (I think it's called rain.....but it's been so long), more football, more family, more turkey .......and finally ......the weekend is over.

Thanksgiving Day made us family guys......well.......family guys....All three NFL games fell well below competitive and entertainment qualities, forcing all of us to spend a great deal of "quality time" with our loved ones.

Black Friday brought out all those early bird specials and sales from retailers across the country. And a few decent college football games. LSU (ranked #1) loses at home.....in 3 ....or was it 4 overtimes to Arkansas.

Saturday saw a slew of rivalry games including Georgia beating Georgia Tech for the seventh straight time, and Auburn beating Alabama for the sixth consecutive time.

Sunday, the NFL returned to give us some bazaar games. Denver found a way to give the Chicago Bears a win. Seattle hung on......Tampa Bay intercepted a Washington Redskin win........The Giants stunk it up at home......and the New England Patriots are now 11-0.......though Philly put up one courageous fight.

All in all.........I had a great weekend....Thanksgiving, football, family, more football, more family, more football, a little rain......It doesn't get much better.
