Nah, I get it. Over the years I have stated on both here and the mothership that I do not like the Thursday night games in general. I once had a discussion here with one of the visiting fans about that, and they kept insisting that I only disliked Thursdays because the Bengals had played so poorly. It might have even been right after Andy's 2.0 passer rating debacle. So, I understand where you're coming from. I just happen to think that there is room for an exception, and that exception being Thanksgiving (and only Thanksgiving), which has such a long relationship with and tradition of football. And, I'd like to see my favorite team play on it on occasion.
