So much for Thanksgiving tradition. One in particular, may be in need of an overhaul.

Romomentum!
I officially have a man-crush on Tony Romo, and the momentum he’s brought to this Cowboys team just might be enough to carry them deep into the playoffs.
No sports fans, just because Ohio State-Michigan is over it DOESN’T mean that the college football season is over until January. Alex Ferguson serves up four games that you SHOULD be watching over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Everybody takes the Friday after Thanksgiving off from work. To me, that is just a waste of a vacation day. You see, no work actually gets done on the Friday after Thanksgiving, so you might as well just show up and sit like a corpse in your seat until the powers that be let you out early. PLUS, you save the vacation day which can now be dropped at a time when there is a lot going on. Just trust me on this.
While killing some time at work and with a pile of thoughts floating around in my head, it is time to come with my third Sports Medley. We shall dub this version the “The Thanksgiving Special”…

The Writer Formerly Known As JDWC
Turkey Day: The Cowboys are destroying Tampa Bay and I’ve already made the mashed potatoes for my mom. I have two options right now as I await my Thanksgiving feast.
1. Try to converse with relatives I hardly know
2. Reminisce about recent sports news
Hmm…tough choice. So what am I thankful for on this cranberry sauce-filled holiday? Besides the monumental feast, I am thankful for the opportunity to sit here and write about whatever I want.

Recently we’ve seen at least five NFC teams cluster around the same record with a few more jump in at one or two games close behind. Which teams will or won’t make the playoffs and why?

The Argument Against Michigan
Never has an Ohio State/Michigan game been so big and meant so little. Arguably the greatest rivalry in sports, the 42-39 epic between the two programs last Saturday may have been the most exciting installment of the series ever. The new BCS standings could render the classic battle meaningless, however. With Michigan ranked number two behind the Buckeyes, the once improbable notion of a rematch is now more than a possibility, it is a probability. This would be a terrible injustice to the rest of the teams playing for a shot at the Buckeyes in Glendale, and the most convincing proof to date that college football needs a playoff.
With a week of road trips, the West certainly solidified itself as the better conference, thrashing Eastern teams wherever the games were played.

The NHL at the Quarter Point
The NHL’s 2006-07 campaign is already a quarter over, and we have seen moments worth noting, Jaromir Jagr scored his 600th career goal, the Bobby Clarke era in Philadelphia is over, and we inducted arguably the greatest goaltender in the history of the NHL. What are the surprises, what are the disappointments? What can we look forward to the next three-quarters of the year?
