Happy Thanksgiving! How to Enjoy the Football as much as the Food

Dear Readers,

I’m thankful to everyone who has read, commented, asked a question, signed up for our email list or followed us on Twitter or Facebook, or otherwise supported Dear Sports Fan this year. Writing this blog has been a really great part of my year. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today whether it’s full or devoid of sports!

Here are several posts I wrote to help prepare for more football filled Thanksgiving celebrations. Enjoy!

This post explains why football is an important part of celebrating Thanksgiving for many sports fans: how football is about tradition, how it’s a marker of time passing, and how it makes me feel like I belong.
I also wrote plot summaries of each of the three games today:

Game 1 — Packers at Lions, 12:30 on Fox
The incredible story of Matt Flynn, a backup quarterback who only plays well for Green Bay.

Game 2 — Raiders at Cowboys, 4:30 on CBS
The Cowboys wear the white hats, the Raiders have black souls.

Game 3 — Steelers at Ravens, 8:30 on NBC
Just when you’re ready to sneak back into the kitchen for a turkey sandwich… BOOM! another football game begins.

All the best,
Ezra
