Today is the Redskins' fourth Thanksgiving game in six years. They had the same amount of Thanksgiving Day games from 1975-2011.

[Chris Chase @FireChrisChase]

Too soon. Now the Chiefs will only get the ball back three times before the end of the game.

Three of the four on this list are great trailblazers but this shouldn't be a poll. This is a multiple-choice question with a definitive answer. @BillieJeanKing

Who is your favorite trailblazer?

[Chris Chase @FireChrisChase]

Kirk Cousins is to primetime as Nathan Peterman is to all the time.

Sportsmanship by Watt and Texans was great. All the ‘Skins surrounding Alex Smith’s cart and patting him on the head spoke volumes. But at what point does he say “hey, back up on a bro. Just shattered my leg. Ya mind getting the hell away from me? Supportive texts will be fine.”

[Chris Chase @FireChrisChase]

We've all seen the same date/score/diagnosis similarities for Alex Smith's and Joe Theismann's injury. But what if I told you both plays involved the only men to win Defensive Player of the Year three times (and more?) https://t.co/yorAsJ4BYL

[Chris Chase @FireChrisChase]

Defensive holding being an automatic first down has never made sense, except when considering its place within the NFL’s Draconian interference rules.

It’s good. Very, very good. Van Johnson good. Criminal Hygiene - Hardly News https://t.co/dRBgRvNIhc

True to character, Alex Smith is so steady and unexciting that he can't even exaggerate a number to provide more oomph. "A fourth of the stadium?" Dude, no one was going to hassle you for saying "half the stadium."

[Chris Lingebach @ChrisLingebach]

Alex Smith to @chaddukes: "I feel like this all stemmed from such a positive thing. The sight in Tampa Bay was crazy... to see that many fans down there on a road game. I mean I feel like it was a fourth of the stadium." https://t.co/07lSt3PnKT

After the events of Sunday, the endgame is becoming clear: Vikings at Redskins, NFC Wild Card, Jan. 6, 2019.

@BloggerSoDear Obviously the Cleveland State game was the other.

CNN's John King is a believer in the old adage that you should never use 100 words when the director is inexplicably giving you enough airtime to say 10,000.

[Chris Chase @FireChrisChase]

Always been amazed at how blasé people are about:
1) Success of Manning bros
2) Harbaugh bros facing off in SB.
3) Everything about Venus/Serena - story isn't appreciated nearly enough. (It's mind-boggling.)
On a similar note, THERE'S A SENATOR WHOSE LAST NAME IS "WHITEHOUSE!"

There are many problems with the MNF telecast, but the director constantly cutting to an angry Jerry Jones is not one of them. Other networks are afraid to do so. They show him during wins, but not losses. ESPN lets the world delight in Jerry's misery. Kudos, friends.

With Nadal out of Paris, Novak Djokovic will move to No. 1. Just four months ago, he was ranked No. 21.

[Chris Chase @FireChrisChase]

Huddling down 17, taking inexplicable third-down sacks and a meaningless touchdown pass with under five minutes remaining: Minnesota has now had the full Kirk Cousins experience.

Wimbledon correctly abandoned 140 years of tradition bc of one interminable John Isner match. Baseball has no excuse to stand pat after never-ending World Series games. Pitchers can’t step off mound. Batters can’t step out of box/call time/adjust gloves. 30-second replay. Go.
