Did you see the Thanksgiving games this year? Tennessee at Detroit - which could easily be winless against lossless - and then Seattle at Dallas. Listen, I said this a couple of years ago and I got yelled at by everybody, but I will say it again and I will stand by it: The Detroit thing on Thanksgiving has got to end. Thanksgiving is the hardest day of the year for most of us in America. You’ve got to deal with your whole family, you’re sitting there on Xanax all day long, it’s insane. You have to deal with every insane relative you’ve ever had. It’s the worst day of the year! It’s horrid. Try coming to my house. So, the point is, you’re sitting there, drinking yourself into an alcoholic stupor, Golic is unbuckling his pants, sitting down to his Thanksgiving feast: can we have a decent game? Has Detroit been good this half-century??!? … The point of it is this: Do you look forward to football on Thanksgiving? Would it be nice if we didn’t get stuck with the Lions every single year? I apologize to [coach] Rod Marinelli, who gets offended whenever you mention anything, but they’re horrible, and they have been horrible forever! It’s a lousy tradition! We have a lot of traditions in this country we need to change: that’s the first! That’s the first thing I’d like to enact: it’s enough with the Lions on Thanksgiving. Enough!
