End the NFL's Thanksgiving Tyranny - Lose the Legacy Teams

Go to the original >>

For years, two teams have been given perennial appearances at the two daytime football games that occur on Thanksgiving. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are storied franchises, but from the point of view of enjoying exciting matchups, it's inevitable that one or both legacy teams will enter prolonged doldrums. That's currrently the case with the exorable Detroit Lions.
Ask the NFL to do the right thing, in this age of merit over entitlement, and move to a flexible system that features the most exciting matchups the league has to offer.
