NFL on Turkey day
I miss Barry Sanders. I used to love watching games on Turkey day because Detroit always played and that meant Barry Sanders was on. Now there nothing to get excited about. For the past 7 years or so it's just been a rotten Detroit team on display for all to watch.
Dallas was also decent because they were a dynasty for a while. I didn't like them back then but at least there was reason to watch. I rooted against them every year. At least this year's Dallas game *should* be a good one but in recent years, I can't make the same claim. I miss watching Barry Sanders!

Re: NFL on Turkey day
So Dallas and Detroit are playing Thursday? If so that is the Cowboys 3rd game in like 11 eleven days, because of the Monday nighter.

Re: NFL on Turkey day
They tried to change it during the last CBA IIRC. But no other teams *wanted* to be forced to play and both Dallas and Detroit wanted to keep the games, so here we are.

Not sure why they stopped doing the Dallas-Detroit game [/ QUOTE ] They never did a Dallas / Detroit game. The tradition is that both teams have home games on Turkey Day. And it's a crappy tradition - rotate it.
