Fantasy Football from The Fantasy Addicts

Thx-givin to me means four things, and they all start with the letter F.

Food, family, football and fightin!  The pic above relates to all of em.  Food – obviously – because we associate Thx-givin with eatin turkey.  Fam because those turkeys have very similar features; they look like they could be brothers or sisters to me.  Football because 3 NFL games were played on ‘Turkey Day’ and Fox gives out what they call the ‘Galloping Gobbler Award’…

Looks like Fox put a lot of money into it.  Lol.  That’s actually the old version of the award.  The new one is a lil more prestigous…

And finally, fightin; because that’s what families do, especially during the holidays.  Well, atleast my family does anyway.  As a matter of fact – and I won’t say any names, mom and grandma – but I heard 2 of my family members had to be separated yesterday before I got there (I’d put my $ on mom; grandma’s lost a step at her age).
