Turkey Day Boredum
So I sat on my ass yesterday, pigged out like a glutton, and watched three terrible football games. Every year we see Detroit get romped, and their fans are booing midway through the first quarter. (I was laughing out loud to myself when Dante threw the INT to the defensive lineman.) Is it time to do away with the traditional Detriot and Dallas games and have a "flex" schedule that they decide 3 weeks before Thanksgiving to decide who plays? Or is there too much going on during turkey day that the football games are just background noise? Post your comments.

personally, i prefer it the way it is. Everybody seems to be forgetting about watching Barry Sanders, the one man team, pulling quadruple reverses by himself. Things change all the time.
I am for the flex schedule. I think the tradition is football on Thanksgiving and not the Lions or Cowboys playing. Cowboys are America's team but they could easily by picked by the flex schedule where as there is no reason to watch the Lions, what an embarassment.
I remember watching Barry Sanders as a kid, phenomanal, the NFL should pick players or teams that can hold the stage like he did. (Randy Moss on Thanksgiving) Or at least games that will be close/exciting and matter.
I like the way it is, too. People are being impatient. The Lions can't suck forever......can they?
