11.24.09A Thanksgiving Fantasy FeastPeople enjoy Thanksgiving for many different reasons. Some like spending some QT with friends and family. Others feel good knowing the holiday season is right around the corner. I, however, welcome a day dedicated to two things – football and food. My day is spent in front of the TV, and in the forty-five minutes I’m not watching football, I’m stuffing my face with a full spread. In honor of the meal that I’m 48 hours away from devouring, I’ve taken a look at the food options to see how it affects fantasy football. Confused? Stick with me here… Turkey – ...
