I do the eye rolling thing when I see posts, tweets or (worse) actual conversations about people giving thanks to things on Thanksgiving. Me, I’m way more of a wearing-a-costume-just-not-on-Halloween-guy or a I’ll-give-you-flowers-and-treats-but-definitely-not-on-Valentine’s-Day-fella.

So forgive me for acting out right now but I can’t help it. I’m ecstatically thankful that we aren’t faced with a nightmare combination of Spurs/Saints merchandise (because the Saints still play in New Orleans). And that San Diego gave up on Drew Brees (because New Orleans has a title now). And that the NFL lockout was avoided (Ahem, NBA).

And when (if) the other shoe drops and the Saints fall out of the relevancy zone, I’ll still be thankful for those same things. Merry X-mas.
