A Thanksgiving offering

In honor of Thanksgiving, I offer a gift for all of you who look forward to football just as much as you do the turkey, and probably more.

If you are a serious football fan, this is a must-read essay by the sometimes annoying but more often brilliant Chuck Klosterman. It comes from his new book, “Eating the Dinosaur,” which I just finished and loved.

It’s the kind of essay that football fans will bookmark and refer back to for years to come, and it is guaranteed to increase your grid-iron credibility amongst your pig-skin-loving pals.
