KC making some moves before our game

The full story of the origin of NFL teams playing on Thanksgiving: https://www.profootballhof.com/football-history/thanksgiving-and-the-nfl/

Good article I guess.

But has an agenda: it didn't even address how the Cowboys became a Thanksgiving tradition @ all.

Im sure KC is shaking in their boots.

Andy reid is losing sleep over this.

Kelce is up with t swift playing over n over

Mahomes doesnt know what to do with inside pressure

Cowboys win.

...yeah, Dallas and Detroit for some reason were singled out as Thanksgiving lifetime members for the holiday.

For some reason???

SMH

Why do we have to play tomorrow AND Christmas. Frustrating

Ratings.

BTW, there are 3 games on Christmas. So there are 5 others teams besides the Cowboys who play then.

This year is different than most.

Usually Dallas and Detroit get 10 days after thanksgiving for their next game.

Not this year thanks to Amazon.

We have been playing on the Thursday after Thanksgiving for a while now.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard other fanbases whine "how come Dallas always gets Thanksgiving".

"Because they were smart enough to see the value of playing in this game in front of all of America with families gathered around the TV. Unlike whatever whack team you root for that noone cares about, win or lose."

Lol

This post should enshrined on a Tom Landry statue somewhere.

Well done sir.

But is that true that the Boys have played almost every Thanksgiving game "since 1996"?
Typo?
I would say every Thanksgiving Day since 1966. But that is just me guess.

Are you telling me THIS guy doesn’t have a firm grasp on NFL history? I’m absolutely shocked.

Man do I feel old. I guess im just surprised there are Cowboys fans that do not know why we host on Thanksgiving every year. Not making fun of anyone it just makes me realize that we gotta do a better job of teaching Dallas Cowboys history. There should be a sticky post every year explaining and talking about the history of how the Cowboys host on Thanksgiving every year.

Thank Tex Schramm for everything Dallas Cowboys but also for making the Dallas Cowboys a fixture on Thanksgiving.

...yeah, Dallas and Detroit for some reason were singled out as Thanksgiving lifetime members for the holiday.

They were the only ones that wanted to do it at the time

Pierce might be washed. He couldn't get on the field in Houston. Old man Chubb has beat him out. Woody Marks the rookie RB has been really good too. They still have Mixon too. It was a numbers issue.

 

[Risen Star]

...yeah, Dallas and Detroit for some reason were singled out as Thanksgiving lifetime members for the holiday.

Because at the time they were the only teams willing to do it.

Win the game, eat a leg of turkey. Madden.

Dude was a legend.

Never forget Nate Newton's sweat.

Most teams DO NOT WANT to play on Thanksgiving, let alone host it every season.

Have you noticed ever since the NFL added TNF that a lot of teams stopped whining about Dallas having this extra bye week? Once teams have to play on a short week on the regular they realize it can be a huge PITA.

I’d prefer Dallas never playing on thanksgiving again.
