This was my first Thanksgiving away from my family and to be
honest, I think they are relieved that they could enjoy a home cooked meal
without having to wear a homemade Pilgrim or Indian hat. Yes, my kindergarten
art skills still excel beyond the classroom. Construction paper and a glue
stick, it never gets old and yes, you have to wear the hat to eat.
I can’t remember the last time I used my stove when I wasn’t
prepping for tailgate festivities with the White family. I attempted to make my
own Thanksgiving dinner- not a tradition I will continue. But knowing another
tradition was making a come back could make up for me missing my mom’s
crock-pot mac & cheese; Cowboys vs. Redskins on Thanksgiving Day!
HA- Cowboys vs. Indians on Thanksgiving Day, well played
NFL, well played. After a rough start and a Brandon Banks error, I felt my
Thanksgiving meal starting to rise for a reversal of fortune. And then it was
as if the sports gods wanted to rain on the Dallas parade and sent rain in the Cowboy
Stadium (once the roof is open, it can not be closed) in the second quarter and
the RG3 show featuring the Redskins began. WOW- what a show it was with 28
unanswered points in the second quarter. Total domination!
RG3 was back in his home state of Texas and he did not disappoint in the
second quarter. Maybe they ate some turkey during halftime because the third
quarter was pretty boring and the Cowboys scored ten unanswered points. 35-21
with less than ten minutes left in the game and an RG3 interception. WHAT?
Superman can’t throw interceptions. And just like that 35-28 for a seven point
game. My heart-rate was racing and my turkey still had not settled.
Any Redskin fan will tell you that it’s not over until
it-is-over. And usually, it doesn’t end well for us. But my new phrase for the
Redskins and my ringtone- Anything Can Happen when RG3 is on the field!
With three minutes left, Kai Forbath lines up for a 48 yard
field goal attempt. Holy Kai it was perfect and the Redskins take a ten point
lead; 38-28. Redskins fans are thankful that Billy Can’t Kick Cundiff was
replaced by this hidden golden foot of Kai Forbath.
My heart was still pounding until the game clock expired and
the Redskins finally BEAT Dallas 38-31 on Thanksgiving
in Texas and put
an end to Tony Romo’s 5-0 winning streak on Thanksgiving Day. The Redskins are
thankful for RG3 everyday and today we are very thankful for RG3’s 311 passing
yards, 4 TDs, and the WIN!
When it’s Cowboys vs. Indians- Anything Can Happen.
PS: That Cam Newton Play 60 commercial with the little
kid- HILARIOUS!
