A Thanksgiving Day 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 book, “Eating the Dinosaur,” which I read 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 gridiron credibility amongst your pigskin-loving pals.
