A Good Thanksgiving

With American Thanksgiving upon us (we have to specify “American,” because we have a Canadian on the staff and they celebrate the holiday in October. There’s no joke here. Were you expecting one? What, Canada’s some kind of joke to you? I like Canada. The guy from Canada we have on the staff can be a bit of a jerk, but that’s not Canada’s fault. Anyway, yeah, they celebrate Thanksgiving in October. Make sure you bring that up at dinner tonight. People will think you’re smart. Or weird. Or they just won’t care. Or they’ll wish you’d shut up about Canada and pass the potatoes. One of the four.), Qwan, Mike, and I put together lists of what we’re thankful for. Enjoy!

Qwan’s list:

5) Martha Ford running through the offices like Deebo and putting the fear of God into people.

4) Ham.

3) Family and friends.

2) Leftovers. Especially leftover ham sandwiches.

1) Knowing that one day eating all this ham gonna catch up to me BUT NOT TODAY.

 

Mike’s list:

• The Bears not being the worst team in football.
• I don’t live in Michigan, especially Detroit.
• I have a right to vote against Donald Trump.
• I know how to tie a tie as well as I know how to roll [REDACTED].
• The Lakers being the worst team in basketball.

 

My list is in no particular order.

1) Jim Harbaugh. This one is in particular order.

2) Jim Hackett. Bringer of Harbaugh.

3) Jabrill Peppers. It may not be this year, but he could be Michigan’s next Heisman winner.

4) Harbaugh. Yes, again.

5) Everyone else associated with Team 136. Saturdays are fun again.

6) Sweet potatoes. The best Thanksgiving side dish and delicious baked into a pie.

7) Sweet potato pie.

8) John Hufnagel. Heck of a coaching career. Dickenson will do a great job and with Huf staying on as GM, the Stamps should remain contenders for years to come.

9) Pat Foley and Eddie Olczyk. I always enjoy the broadcast even if I don’t enjoy the outcome.

10) Jonathan Toews. Couldn’t ask for a better captain.

11) Canada. Where Jonathan Toews is from.

12) Coach Q. Sometimes I have to criticize him, but most of the time he figures things out and things are okay.

13) The Shake An Bake line.

14) The rest of the Hawks organization.

15) Fred Hoiberg. The offense isn’t quite there, but at least there is one now. Also, he’s made Doug McDermott useful.

16) The hot sauce. Gimme it.

17) Jimmy G. Buckets. The “G” stands for “Gets.”

18) Neil Funk and Stacey King. Stacey tells us what the “G” stands for.

19) Derrick Rose. Too big, too strong, too fast, too good.

20) Da rest of Da Bulls.

21) Pizza. Do I really have to explain this one? It’s great.

22) Barack Obama. The Jim Harbaugh of Presidents. (Think about it, it makes sense. Especially since that would make Brady Hoke George W. Bush.)

23) Michael Jordan. GOAT.

24) Other good things not on this list.

25) Harbaugh.

A couple shoutouts, too. First @DGDestroys, who makes the videos that make it possible for me to do the Michigan film reviews. Thanks for all you do on those. Also, Alex (@TheMSeries1), who’s helped us promote our stuff a lot. Good luck with school, man. There’s always a spot here for you if you have time to take it.

Happy Thanksgiving!
