Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing everyone here at EOG a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving in Detroit has always centered around the Detroit Thanksgiving day parade and then the football game.

This is the first time in a long time that I haven't been at the football game. So many awful memories on Thanksgiving day, if you are a Lions Fan.

This one occurred 40 years ago in 1980. I was 15 years old and it ruined my dinner.

The Bears tied the game at the end of regulation and then scored off the KO in OT, the shortest OT in the history of the NFL

Actually one of my favorite games. I remember Vince Evans leading the Bears at the end of the game, he may have scored to put it into OT.

The Bears scored at the end of regulation with no time left on the clock.

My favorite holiday of all.

Food, family and football.

Additionally, Thanksgiving is the most secular of all traditional holidays.

Also guarantees a four-day weekend in late November.

And the leftovers are delicious.

We used to go to Detroit for the HS football finals on Friday. My brother's team won three times.

It was one of the few games on Thanksgiving I didn't go to. My grandparents were in town and my dad gave away our tickets. The morning of the game was very snowy, I recall. Im sure getting to the silverdome that day was "fun", lol.

A lot of early action in front of an empty Ford Field!

We went to plenty of games during the 70s and 80s, but my dad always has been a Raiders fan.

He always said neither of us will live long enough to see the Lions in a Super Bowl and they'd never win one.

They have won exactly ONE playoff game since their last title in 1957.

Does Patricia and GM Quinn get fired after this game? That 4th down fail may have put the nail in the coffin ...now this TD

That was a great play by Houston. Had me fooled.

I think they have to pull the plug.
