I'm going to get blasted for this, but I dont like turkey.

Do you not have a heart. Turkey isnt just a food but rather a symbol of memoriable moments.

i used to love it. My family would go down to my aunts house in VA, watch football and have a HUGE meal. big family(mom's side, one of 7) always some big laughs. Havent liked it this and last year because I cant eat much at all. The morning after thanksgiving is the infamous "no ball" tryout for basketball. 9am start, ends at 11 and is PURE RUNNING. you have no idea. Alumni come and watch while eating donuts. after a 2 hour break, we have a normal try out(no walk in the park either) followed by 2 more sessions on that saturday. the last 3 arent as hard as no ball, but your legs are dying and you lose your will to walk any longer

Just joking. I used to not like turkey, but then I tasted the greatest turkey ever down in NC. Cant remember how it was cooked but it was excellent.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's the only one that's not a bigger inconvenience than it's worth.

I remember middle school basketball (my high school coach was so much easier...barely made us run)...ugh I hated it. Probably not as bad as what you have to go through but we had to do endless 40s, suidcies, run the stairs. Weight runs. Brutal.

I am one of the youngest of all my cousins so most of them are in their late twenties and in the 30's and we always on thanksgiving lunch time play a flag football game against the local boys and girls club flag team(My Aunt runs it and organizes this thing). They are mostly 17-18 year olds but fast as hell. Last year we lost by two touchdowns, but that's because my fat cousin Petey insisted on being QB, but this year my little cousin who's 16 is playing QB, but he's a backup varsity QB at his high school.

My high school basketball coach was the best. The only conditioning we did was a fast break drill.
