Deion promised too much and talked a huge game and couldn't back it up. He's actually a good guy by all accounts, he just over marketed himself and under delivered. I didn't think he's wrapped his head around the time it takes to coach, recruit and re- recruit your players. His health issues haven't helped things either.

Everyone is a good person. Some are just trying harder than others or further along on the path. The former can be a result of the latter. Deion has work to do. He hasn't grown a whole lot. But it's his path, not mine. I'm not judging. I also hope people aspire for higher. He claims to be a Godly man but Godly men are always mindful of how they affect others. He's had a negative affect on a lot of other people in his life. A lot of those stories have been buried because of who he is and what he's signed up for. You got the president talking about his son who just started getting first team snaps a few weeks ago as a 5th round draft pick. How many other 5th round draft picks get mentioned by the president? Or start their rookie year?

I haz the sadness. Celebrating with eldest daughter who decided they are not having the traditional meal. She requested I bring smoked meat, but then insisted it not be pork. Wut? Fine, so roasting a beef tenderloin in the smoker, reverse searing on a Blackstone. Should be tasty...but...bringing the beef to serve with...lasagna?!? I can't even wrap my head around this.

In fairness this may be my fault. Many years ago we rebelled against the traditional Christmas Eve meal (primarily because of Thanksgiving overload) and started doing Spanish food. It's fun. Feliz Navidad and what not. But no real Thanksgiving meal?!? Is that even legal?

I think the least funny thing you can ever do is make a gag in your film about making a sequel purely for money, and then doing that like 40 years after society has moved past laughing at that joke. Those of us who grew up in that era can appreciate it. Most movie goers today know Star Wars more from Disney than Lucas' originals.

They are doing Spaceballs 2 because making Blazing Saddles 2 absolutely would not fly today. (They actually auditioned Kevin Hart for the Sheriff role but he started hitting on the director, who's a dude. I made that up. Don't sue me with your piles of money that will never make you any taller, Kevin.)

I disagree with your first sentence. But most people are

We always do turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy on Thanksgiving but all the other sides vary from year to year. Christmas Eve is always swedish meatballs. Christmas Day is our free for all meal. We've done everything from a rib roast to tamales with chili.
