The Around the NFL podcast is thankful for an excuse to get away from their families.

Happy post Thanksgiving, everyone in America and across the world.

Happy Friday.

It's around the NFL.

We are scattered across the Southland and surrounding territories.

The day after the morning after Thanksgiving, big day, big big sports day I've already said it but in

case you didn't hear and it's going to even sting more after the fact all these English listeners

that are very confident about how the soccer match is going to go today wow a lot of

disappointment by the time you hear this the disappointment will still be soaking in from a USA upset for the ages. So that's coming up later today. We have a full slate of Sunday games. But Mark, Greg, starting now, we're going to go through the three Thanksgiving contests and it was some fun football.

This is one of the best football days of the year. We didn't have to do a show, which was nice. You could just watch the football. But I'd say we got one great game, one at night, extremely entertaining game. I don't know if it was a great game, but it was fun. And then, you know, the middle game at least was interesting. we had a comeback, you know, that was as good as it was going to get. Well, what a different Thanksgiving slate than the last

25 to 26 before it, because typically that early Lions game, you got the family starting to get

together, random relatives, and it operates as a total energy suck inside your house. This was the complete opposite. And it was like sitting there in the earliest game of the day, and it is a fantastic matchup between the bills. And like, I just wish it had ended differently. It kind of, I know that you think that I'm not really like on the Lions team of ATL thing, but I needed them to come to me. And I think yesterday they did. And I got in emotionally. And now it's like, of course, now that you get pulled in emotionally, they just cut your throat. So it's your fault is that what you're saying? Well, I'm nuts. You needed them to come into you. So they needed to win three straight and then have a lead over like a Super Bowl favorite. And then Mark was like, okay, I'll maybe be in terms of.

Well, my bar is high.

He's also a Titans fan now.

So the bar is very high in terms of what you need to do to earn his loyalty these days.

Yeah, I think, especially where we are in the West Coast, the first game kicks off at 930.

Perfect.

So you really, I was one of the people that host Thanksgiving,

my wife and I. So there's a lot of stuff to do. But the 930 kick up beautiful. You get,

you have stuff that you're doing, but you're watching the game, you know, pretty much unbothered.
