Happy Thanksgiving Eve
A great day in the American experience, the day before the turkey. Traveling, catching up with friends who are also back in town, movies, bars or just hanging at home with family.
If you are traveling today we wish you a safe trip and please don't forget the people train don't run out of Wichita, people train runs out of Ssstubville...

Would have been nice to have time to post a proper story tonight but since Comcast decided to puke and give zero information as to why all our munniez can't keep their services on, it's just too late as Johnny gets up around 4:15am. Kind of a flippant attitude once again. Comcast gonna Comcast.

Johnny's favorite Jersey City spokeswoman, Jennifer Morrill is leaving Jersey City to become the unnecessarily combative and overly dramatic spokeswoman at Care Point Health. She served Mayor Healy vs Steve Fulop and Mayor Fulop vs Jerramiah Healy.
You can't get much more spokesperson than that. More on her storied career in Jersey City here.

Giants football Gameday!
Would you look at that, it's Sunday and so a Giants game is at our throats again. Unlike a bad college season which ends for 95% of college teams next weekend, the Giants shall plod on into the holidays.
The Kansas City Chiefs roll into the New Meadowlands this afternoon for a windy and cold November matchup, red vs Big Blue. On paper this looks like a wipeout, the Chiefs are 6-3 and the Giants took a huge step to challenge the Browns for the #1 overall draft pick when they laid a deep dish pizza in San Francisco last Sunday.
But that wind out there, 40 mph, 50 mph, the G-Men see this often, the Kansas Cities, not so much. How many times in history have the Giants been able to turn a really windy day into scoreboard gold? So, passing will suck equally, let's see who can run the ball. Toledo Rocket rookie Kareem Hunt started like a house afire for KC but has found the sledding much tougher over the last month. He hasn't had a 100 yard game since mid-October and hasn't scored a TD since late September. SO, can the Giants keep him bottled up, thus giving them a shot at a useless win?
No. The Giants are 30th in the NFL against the run. We'd expect the KC offensive line right now to be chomping at the bit to get out and get run blocking. Kansas City however isn't much better coming in at #29 against the run. That'd be great but the Chiefs have what you;d actually call a real running attack whereas that went out the window for the Giants in like week 2.
Is there anything in the passing numbers, something so lopsided that even the weather might not stop it? Not really, the Chiefs are 8th in the league in passing yards and for context ahead of teams like Detroit, and Atlanta. The Giants, they can't run well and can't pass consistently hitting the team passing list at #22.
Everything seems to tip in Kansas City's favor today. All the stats line up for a Chiefs win, we're seeing piss-poor effort from some of the G-Men and the Chiefs are far more likely to be the team with a 100 yard rushing day.
Still, that wind...

Draft Watch®
Huge loss by the G-Men last week. Well timed and to the right team, the one ahead of them in the draft order. They need to keep up that "lolligag the ball around the infield" attitude with KC. The Browns are at home today against the on-the-rise Jacksonville Jaguars. The one thing that could help the Browns win today is the Jags are the #1 overall rushing team BUT, and are you sitting down? The Brownies are #6 vs the rush in the NFL.
1) Cleveland 0-9
2) NY Giants 1-8
3) San Francisco 1-9
4) Indianapolis 3-7
5) Cincinnati 3-6
For those of you looking ahead and wondering now whom might be available and who is projected to come to the Giants here are a couple draft prediction sites. Walter Football & CBS Sports.

Lehigh goes back-to-back in the Patriot League and have won an automatic bid to the playoffs 5-6 overall record be damned. This is the longest running college football rivalry with today being game #153.

About the only good thing you can say about Baker Mayfield's behavior today is at least he didn't steal anything in China
Florida State 77
Delaware State 6
Still not going to a bowl game, no matter how badly you beat down 1-AA teams
Toledo 66
Bowling Green 37
Why is the town called Bowling Green but their main color is orange?

Dartmouth 54
Princeton 44
Dartmouth scored 34, yes, 34 points in the fourth quarter, including a game winning TD with no time left (the other points at the end came on a fumbled mandatory kickoff) by Jared Gerbino, his fourth of the day to get power up and take the Big Green to 8-2. In Johnny's polling Dartmouth moves ahead of Miami FL in the four team playoff race. Jared Gerbino may now loot and pillage Hanover N.H. for the next 24 hours
