Every year, I have to explain to my mother the difference between a Quarterback and a Cornerback.

    When the Cowboys play the Commies this year or any year on Thanksgiving, the family boomer still calls them the R name.

    But for me, there are two; 1. the Lions have a winning record at Thanksgiving, and 2. Tim Boyle is the starting QB for the Jets.

      For me its relatives that complain about not just kneeling, but kneeling during the national anthem. They sit there yelling at the tv saying how disrespectful it is for them to be kneeling.

      Yes, you read that right. They sit during the anthem and complain.

    They’ll say the #1 ranked college team could beat the worst NFL team, then go on a lengthy explanation as to why.

      Here’s a better debate: Let’s say you think the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are the best college football team ever. How many NFL players would you need to add to that roster (and at which positions) before they could reasonably beat the 0-16 Lions or the 0-16 Browns?

    “Fucking Stafford will never win shit!” My uncle, a Lions fan, LAST YEAR, after Goff took a sack.

    I didn’t even respond because I didn’t feel like explaining everything wrong with him.
