Turkey-day football
Turkey Bowl Games are soo much fun....
As Kids it was 'given' that by 11:45 if you was not on the street ready to play, you was going to be playing the game on Sunday (regular street ball games).
We would take the game to Shermin Circle (on of many near by parks) and get it on.... we would play till 2 or 3 and head in the house and get ready for rest of the day..........
as a young man in my 20's, we would hit the fields by 10am and be done by 2 and we would be playing down on the Mall (a few blocks from the US Capital) and instead of tackle, we played flag....just as much fun only less briuses....
in my 30's, MF took the place of sweating when we got together for some action.... we would sometime play all day 3 and 4 games in between the turkey and the mac & cheese......
Now, we save it all up for Friday after because most everyone is off work.
