Chris Mortensen was on the Mike and Mike Show on ESPN earlier this morning and the subject of the Thanksgiving Day NFL games was brought up and specifically the pre-ordained always-a-Kennedy-in-the-Massachusetts-Senate seat nature of the Detroit Lions on turkey day. Mortensen said that for the first time their have been some rumblings in the league office that perhaps the NFL will shake things up and get some other teams in the Thanksgiving Day mix, i.e., as punishment for the Detroit Lions being a habitual joke. (The 0-11 Lions face a 10-1 Tennessee Titans tomorrow)
We would’ve thought that parading your hapless team on to the national stage every year to be openly mocked and ridiculed by the announcers and fans alike would’ve been incentive enough to get your franchise into some sort of competitive order but apparently it is not, so we welcome this change of heart from the NFL leadership and hope that this particular turkey receives no pardon.

My son asked me why they put the Lions - Titans on tomorrow. I told him it was Thanksgiving and it was traditional to see a bunch of turkeys get killed.
:-)
And they did not disappoint.
