A Birthday Wish for Next Year

Published by Dave under American Football, Association Football

Today’s my birthday, so I’m taking it easy for the rest of the weekend. However, I do have a birthday wish for next year:

One competitive NFL game on Thanksgiving. Just one. Please. That’s all I ask, because I didn’t need all that Turkey to put me to sleep yesterday. The only football worth watching yesterday was the Portsmouth v. AC Milan UEFA Cup match, and that wasn’t even on TV.

Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.

(Spotted on 101 Great Goals.)
