Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27th, 2025
Joe sincerely wishes all readers (and the haters who are addicted to this here site) all the best today on one of Joe’s favorite holidays.
How can one not like Thanksgiving? It’s all about being a total slob and watching football. Awesome!
In Joe’s ranking of holidays, Joe gives Thanksgiving a strong No. 2, just a hair behind the Fourth of July.
On what other day is unbridled gluttony and drunkenness embraced and celebrated like it is on Thanksgiving, with football on the tube all day and night long?
What other day (and night) are you encouraged to eat like a hungry dog and drink like a thirsty fish while enjoying football from noon until nearly midnight?
The first thing we can be thankful for is that the NFC South stinks and it gives the sad Bucs a realistic shot of making the playoffs.
So, yeah, this is Joe’s kinda day. Food, alcohol and football. This is Thanksgiving Day.
There’s no real reason to ever get off the couch except to shovel more turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie down your gullet, or to grab an(other) adult beverage or, well, you know, take care of personal business that comes shortly after shoveling pounds of food in your grill and guzzling alcohol.
Joe has a lot for which to be thankful, but nothing more than Joe’s readers. If not for readers just like you, there’s no telling what Joe would be doing for a living — heck, maybe even doing time.
This here corner of the interwebs certainly would not exist without loyal, faithful readers. Joe never loses sight of that important fact.
Thank you all!
Now, bye-bye belt!
Go enjoy this awesome holiday! Joe might even break out some Eagle Rare.

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving Day battle of the NFC North between the Packers and Lions on FOX, @FOXSportsPR sent out mailers with a "Piecaken" – dubbed the “Turducken” of deserts 🎂

Wash – rinse and repeat at Lt. Dan’s house for this fine Thanksgiving! TV’s on all over the place, beer flowing like wine, smoked turkey on the Trager, grilled beef tenderloin and all the fixings! My beautiful Polynesian wife and five of her sisters prepping the sides and my four daughters pitching in wherever needed. About 25 guest’s in all. It’s good to be Lt Dan! Now…about the Cardinals and the upcoming Sunday business! Happy Thanksgiving Bucs fans!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. To the Joe’s, to the negatrolls and optitrolls alike. As a Bucs fan I am thankful for everyone I read here. We’re kind of like that dysfunctional yet happy family at the Thanksgiving table.
And the Saints, Falcons and Panthers fans sit at the kids table.

I’ve already had 2 Thanksgiving dinners (yep, turkey and all the trimmings) at friends’ houses. One a week ago Saturday and one yesterday. Won’t bother to explain this unorthodox schedule, but suffice it to say, today I’m left alone to my own devices. No need for small talk or distractions from the TV. I’m in heaven. Hope everyone here in Bucs Nation has a wonderful day!

Lots to be thankful for…this here site, family and friends on Thanksgiving, and being a part of this great country. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
P.S., for the deep fryer aficionados, remember it hasn’t rained since Cavaricci pants and high top sneakers were a thing. So don’t overfill, keep the bird dry when starting, and conduct your operation outside in the yard. Good tidings!

Lt. Dan. 4 daughters. I’ve got 4 sons. All with wives with sway enough to ensure I won’t see a grandkid today. All will be with the wives families for today. So my wife and I will have to be all alone today. Too bad. As much football and adult beverages as I can consume today. Hopefully the Darlin feels bad for me not getting turkey today and serves something special. She’ll be cooking all day for all the kids and grandkids tomorrow. I will probably have to be the official taster today. Then tomorrow with the sons and grandkids everywhere I will have to be the official QB for our Thanksgiving football foray. Mick Jagger said it well. You can’t always get what you want, you get what you need… also Joe, I like Thanksgiving best. Fourth of July. Get outta here.

Happy turkey day !!! Thankful we aren’t in the lost decade and are in first place in our division !!!

Speaking of that old Rolling Stones classic. All the kids and grandkids were introduced to that song early. 5 or 6 years old. I could say No!…but if I turned on that song they knew it was curtains for their infinite wants. They all still have a certain disdain for the song. Happy Thanksgiving to all of us.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks so much to the Joe’s and Ira who all work so tirelessly to provide so much content here for all of us! So much to be thankful for especially health, my grandma always says if you have good health, you have everything. Now I’m going to test that by eating and drinking all day!
