One tradition that has run its course ?

Lions every Thanksgiving is getting old 

One tradition that will never change ... the Cowboys every Thanksgiving.

Last week I came across the tv ratings for the NFL games this season. Cowboys played in 5 of the 7 highest rated games.

Love em or hate em, people tune in

Why would this go into penalty box?

Go to bread 

I have no problem with the Lions playing at noon on Thanksgiving Day. I'd rather watch them lose to somebody at that time than try and stay up for a 9PM game between better teams. 

If the Lions don't have a TV date every Thanksgiving,when will Detroit be on National TV?

As a gambler,you can fight over which NFL team is playing Best.........(at least 3-4) but I want to track who is playing worse because there is plenty of room at the Table.

I don't understand

What's to hate? They are just below .500.

How many times has the Detroit Lions won on Thanksgiving Day? In the 71 games that the Detroit Lions have hosted on Thanksgiving Day, they currently have a record of 33 wins, 36 losses and two ties.Mar 2, 2021

The Lions have been an underdog in their annual Thanksgiving game nine times over the past 13 seasons and have covered the spread only twice in those games (including last season, when they lost to the Bears by four as 5½-point underdogs

Thanksgiving Day should be the only Thursday games during the regular season  

The Cowboys should only play on Thursdays all year, so we can all focus on them without the distraction of other games

I like this in theory but I have a active nightlife and often don't watch the primetime games. I need some Sundays mixed in. And some Sundaes.

So why is the thread in penalty box?

@chic-cardinals

 It was created here. Biscuit is a Box lifer.

And a Box eater.  

Ohh ,I see

Yeah, well, I like some traditions.

Detroit is a very old franchise/original , more or less.

So maybe even have it the same two teams, like Detroit vs Chicago every year .

Like they do in college or high school.

It's bad enough there are less and less out door games. ( Oops, an argument against detroit)
