Thanksgiving is only a week away and one of the great Thanksgiving Day traditions, along with stuffing one's face and watching the Macy's parade, is watching football. Every year the Detroit Lions play a Turkey day football game followed by the Dallas Cowboys. While most years the Detroit Lions aren't particularly good anyway, this season they could go into Thanksgiving without a single victory under their belt. Worse yet (for Detroit fans), they could be facing an undefeated Tennessee Titans team on that day. which could make this the ultimate turkey game.

So will CBS, the network scheduled to broadcast the game, suddenly run a holiday themed special or movie in place of the game in all parts of the country except Tennessee and Michigan? Would watching Dawn of the Dead or Saving Private Ryan make turkey day diners less sick to their stomachs than watching the Detroit Lions? Discuss.

heck if i know, i'm gonna be putting up my tree and watching my pee-wee's chrismas DVD all day.

I havent watched a Thanksgiving Lions game since 2002 and I dont plan on it this year either. I want to enjoy my holiday.

shit if i know. i ain't gonna be watching anything on teevee, because i'll be too busy trying to figure out how to kill time before the thanxgiving dinner over at first ave.

Isn't watching the Lions generally considered the same thing?

FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL FOOTBALL
Two Pro games, then Texas-Texas A&M or another college game to end the day.
Go read a book for alternative programming.
