Fantasy Football Advice From a Normal Guy, Week 12

Start:

Baltimore Defense: The Steelers are starting Dennis Dixon. If your intramural football team was facing Dixon, we'd recommend starting your defense as well.

Tom Brady: The last time the Patriots faced an undefeated team, they went for it on 4th and 2 for no reason whatsoever. Since they're facing another undefeated team this week, the Patriots will likely go for it on every 4th down possible, giving Brady some extra pass attempts. Start him.

Sit:

Anybody on the Texans: Coach Gary Kubiak obviously doesn't play fantasy football because he refuses to name a starter at the runningback position. Stay away from Texans, as Kubiak might actually try to win the game rather than giving his star players impressive stat lines.

Tony Romo: The Cowboys played on Thursday. He won't be playing today.

Pray:

Pray that your fantasy star didn't eat too much turkey on Thanksgiving and don't have a stomach ache for today's games.

Detroit Lions Don't Celebrate Thanksgiving for Obvious Reasons

Detroit Lions Don't Celebrate Thanksgiving for Obvious Reasons

The Detroit Lions have been playing on Thanksgiving for decades, and the reason for this has finally surfaced: The Lions don't celebrate Thanksgiving because they have nothing to be thankful for. One of the few teams to never play in the superbowl, the Lions celebrate other holiday such as Martin Luther Day King, Valentines Day, and July 4th. The Lions always observe these holidays and never play a game on these days.

The Detroit Lions will be facing the Green Bay packers this Thursday. Tickets will only be one dollar, ironic because you can get 4 quarters out of the dollars, but not the Lions. With so many people traveling hundreds of miles to visit their families this holiday season, the Lions are just hoping to go 10 yards.

Other sports teams and athletes that have nothing to be thankful for this year include:

1. The 1994 World Series Champion
2. Fantasy owners facing Brady Quinn last week
3. The New Jersey Nets
