Turkey Day: NFL Recap

I guess the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade looked like a better option than ever this year, considering all 3 NFL games were blow outs. Here is what you missed while you were flipping channels and eating Turkey:

The traditional Thanksgiving day game belongs to the Lions. This year you would have thought they would play a little harder considering it may be their only nationally televised game of the season. But the Detroit Lions, have developed their own, new tradition, LOSING… And losing badly!
Kerri Collins lost his first fumble of the season, but mistakes like those mean nothing when you are playing the Lions of Detroit. As a matter of fact, Kerri Collins probably could have stayed home and ate turkey. Better yet, put in the turkey! 47-10, Titans.


But don't worry, Detroit. Some of us thought of you on Thanksgiving...


While you were feasting on Turkey, the Cowgirls were feasting on the Seahawks. What is there to say about a 34-9 win over Seattle? Romo has 3 TDs in his first 3 drives and of course, an interception. Owens had 98 yards receiving and a TD. Seahawks, just laid back and took it.


The closest game of Turkey Day was the other birds, the Eagles’ 48-20 win over the Cardinals. Kurt Warner had three touchdowns passes, however he also had 3 intercepted passes to balance it out. It appeared McNabb, has learned a lot in his last 3 games. First that an NFL game can end in a tie, then that he can and will be benched and most recently throwing the ball to your own team makes it easier to win the game. But where does McNabb get all of his information???
When asked at a press conference Tuesday how he had learned he was still the starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I was told by the janitor," said a smiling McNabb, who will open against the Arizona Cardinals here Thursday night.
"You know, me and him have a pretty good relationship around here. It's a pretty good conversation we had."

Football Fundamentals: What the @#$% is a "FREE KICK?"

I am sure while everyone was watching the best game of the week, (Giants v. Cards) they were distracted from appreciating the beauty that is WORLD CHAMPION NY FOOTBALL GIANTS FOOTBALL, by the question "What the @#$% is a free kick?"

In their desperate attempt to keep pace with an, obviously better, football team, the Cardinals attempted a free kick and no one knew what was going on. It is obvious that the Cards had been watching their ESPN Classics because the play was only ever used once, in 1968.

Not sure when this will ever be relevant, again; Maybe in another 20 years when someone forgets how stupid it is and tries it again, but its more likely to be a question on Jeopardy. So here it is:

Following the legal fair catch of any kick, the receiving team may choose to run a regular scrimmage play OR they may free kick the ball from the the yardline where the catch was made. Simply stated, a free kick following a fair catch is a kickoff with a chance for 3 pts. For the most part all the rules are the same as for a kickoff (i.e., teams 10yds apart etc.). The ball must be held and cannot be placed on a tee. So essentially, the Cards tried a 68 yards field goal.


We all knew he wasn't making a 68 yard field goal, so what did the Arizona Cardinals prove??? Simple. That they know more about football than Donovan McNabb! (yes, an NFL game may end in a tie!)


Just when you thought he couldn't get anymore stupid! He didn't know that you could tie in the NFL? Has he never watched a football game ever?
You only work (and barely) once a week, McSimspon...I mean McNabb. Take one of the other 6 days and read the rule book. The Cards did!
