Well as we all know Thursday is Thanksgiving Day and so without further ado I bring you the sports things I am thankful for.
I am thankful for:
1. The one handed catch football, except when that catch is being made against the Patriots or by any member of the Colts.
2. A curveball that makes a hitter's knees buckle.
3. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson running over would be tacklers.
4. The Yankees pinstripe uniforms, to me they are classic and classy.
5. A nice clean solid board and bone rattling check in hockey.
6. A basketball player that drains a three and instead of cheering for himself hustles back on defense.
7. Watching a right fielder with a cannon for an arm throw a seed to home and snuff out a potential run.
8. The flea flicker in football, especially when it is Tom Brady and the Patriots.
9. That my brother is a Red Sox fan. We cheer for the same team in every other sport, but we are polar opposites in baseball, yet we find a way to discuss baseball and be civil, which I can't say about too many fans on either side.
10. The shine of the ice at a hockey game after the zamboni has been out.
11. Guys like Kevin Faulk that don't put up the biggest numbers, but are there when the team needs them.
12. The MLB Network. I watch this channel way too much, but if my cable company took it away I would revolt.
I hope you all enjoy time with your family and friends this Thanksgiving, and maybe next year the NFL will give us better games to watch on turkey day.
The Song of the Blog: Today's tune is Misery Business by Paramore, a rocking song by a a strong female lead singer.
