Happy Thanksgiving From BTB

Thanks3_medium

I decided to go with a classic image for Thanksgiving. Kind of reminds me of Nick Folk kicking lately. I kid!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Thanks to all of you for your patronage of BTB and all the excellent FanPosts and comments we get here on the blog. This community is active and growing, I couldn't ask for anything more.

The schedule for today - use this as an open thread for Thanksgiving talk, Cowboys talk, and the Lions/Packers game. I'll be eating some turkey during the first game, then about 15 minutes or so before the Cowboys game, I'll put up the gameday open thread and we'll run a regular game schedule.

We need a victory today, and it would be nice if we basically drop-kicked the Raiders butts out of the stadium. But when it gets this late in the season, and the chase for the  division and the playoffs are in full swing, I say - no matter how you win, just make sure you win.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes! Happy Thanksgiving!

This is truly one of the greatest days of the year. There isn’t much that compares to a day of rest, family, wonderful food, and great football. I feel for those who have to work today, because I’ve been on that side of the fence many times.

Everyone should savor and enjoy this great day. Now let’s hope our ’Boy’s jump out to a comfortable lead, so we can all have an enjoyable anxiety-free meal.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is able to enjoy the day, even DaliaLuke in some opium den in Thailand, and yes even Tex. Just please stay away from Terry today. The universe is not ready for that meeting….

I raise my no-longer lucky coffee mug to today’s game – Here’s to the Boys playing well today.

PS I really thought that was more like a picture of McBriar pulling the ball away at the last second. Go GET em Nick.

I swear I'll divulge full details when I finally find that den of iniqui... OGLETREE!!!

yea, I stayed up all night, it’s 8:15 am here (12 hours from EST), but BOYS was it ever worth it … FINALLY got a GREAT game from the pokes, with several local american guys drinking beer and … well… enjoying life :)

What am I thankful for on this greatest of All-American holidays (and, for the record, everyone in the world is envious of this great excuse for a 4-day weekend) … I’m thankful for the Cowboys defense, for Atlanta for giving up WAY too early on Brookings, for Spencer getting his first few (BS, it SHOULD be 3) … for Romo and EVERYTHING he brings to the table … for Dunk and O.Coo and even 5Blings and all the other wonderful “concerned fans” … and yes, even for being in the same division with the iggles, as they offer such predictable despair come January… and … and …

geez… time for bed

GO COWBOYS !!! … 10 days of rest, a pounding revenge game in the meadowlands on my bday, and then going 4-1 (yea, believe it or not we’ll lose one) in December en-route to a wonderful memorable and heroic playoff run.

:) … you heard it here first, gentlemen

Heading to the stadium soon

Was at the Radio Show yesterday and Ware and Anderson said they were going to kill the Raiders, they better back up their words, I don’t want to see a loss in my first game at the new stadium, which is freakin unbelieveable BTW.

Headin’ to the stadium in about an hour or so. Gettin’ all hydrated first. It’s gonna be a white Tony Dorsett jersey day with probably my new elf hat. Unfortunately, I have to sit by my buddy and his loser Oakland Jerry Rice jersey. But hey, it’s a holiday.

Eat well folks and have fun with your families and friends!

America's Team Playing on America's Holiday...Perfect.

I’m thankful for so many things, not the least of which is BTB, all of you and the chance to opine on all things Cowboys.

Since the Holiday revolves around the spirit of giving, here’s hoping that Dallas GIVES Oakland a serious whuppin’.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I got him and Barber both

Looking for 150 rushing yards between them. Felix, 40 rushing, 20 yards receiving and a TD off a screen pass, write it down.

“I’d like to see Felix get the ball more.” Boss Jerry has spoken and he didn’t mean just one week either. Felix had double digit carries for the first time this season last week…it’ll continue.

As an oldskool Motown fan, that was a horrendous rendition of some classics. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting that on national TV.

Today will be a good day. Joe Buck isn’t doing the Cowboy game. I swear that guy is bad luck. Common theme of Dallas’s last two games, Joe Buck..

I hear a lot of hate on Buck

But I absolutely love the guy. He has a great voice and flows with the game.

I’m sorry, I get the hate of Roy—that is logical now. But, I don’t understand the hate of Joe Buck.

It’s illogical to me.

Thanksgiving is a great American holiday.

The German guy that showed up to read my water meter thought I was crazy when I invited him for dinner (that he interrupted). After several plates he asked why the feast. So I gave him my best rendition of the story.

People just don’t get how exceptional our country is. We are truly blessed among the nations.

One of the best things to be thankful for is the COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless you all.
