NFL Natterings

SPORTING GOODS

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that there's a lot more to the Plaxico Burress story than is currently being reported?

And everybody and his brother is opining that the NFL should eject the Lions from their Thanksgiving Day game. While I wouldn't be surprised at all if the plutocrats in the NFL were to go along with this idea, I'd prefer that the league stay with its tradition. I know I sound like an old fart here, but I wouldn't be bothered if the league went back to the Lions-Packers game every fourth Thursday in November, but that's surely asking too much.
