Thanksgiving: A time for family, food and...Lions football on TV

Yes, it's officially official. A done deal. It's guaranteed.

There will be no Thanksgiving Day blackout in SE MI.

As always, Detroit Lions' PR is on the ball with a statement:

The Detroit Lions have reached a sellout for Thursday’s 70th Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers. By reaching a sellout by today’s 12:30 p.m. deadline, Thursday’s game will air live in the local television markets (Metro Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw/Flint and Toledo markets), including WJBK-TV FOX 2.

Uh...hooray?

Am I glad I'll be able to see the Lions on a big TV instead of a postage stamp sized web stream?

Without a doubt.

But...

Am I afraid the Lions will, once again, make fools of themselves nationwide by getting their asses destroyed by the Packers, thus subjecting us to a weekend of "Teh Lions R teh suckage" jokes and asinine "We must take the Thanksgiving Day game away from Detroit as they are a national embarrassment" from every media and internet entity?

HELL YES!

If Matthew Stafford is unable to play, I'm expecting a blowout. Actually, even if the wunderkind quarterback does play, I'm expecting a blowout. The Lions played an exciting game Sunday, but it wasn't a well played one, or against much of a team. The Packers are are in midst of a disappointing season, but they are still in the playoff hunt and worlds better than the Browns.

I really hope to see something like this Thursday...

1962 Thanksgiving

The 1962 Thanksgiving Day massacre

Or even someting as silly as this...

Thanksgiving coin toss

Bettis: Tails! Luckett: Heads is the call. Bettis: I CALLED TAILS!

But ever the cynic when it comes to the Lions, I'm expecting this...

Typical Detroit Lions plan

No explanation needed
