Much to give thanks for...

...even if I am at work on Thanksgiving.

* The Cowboys won and are 10-1 for the first time in team history.
* The Lions lost and it doesn't look like we are going to have to worry about the postseason.
* The Tigers look like they will sign Kenny Rogers to firm up the rotation -- he did, after all, boot his agent Scott Boras.
* The Wings lead the Western Conference in points.
* The Hawkeyes aren't likely to embarrass themselves in bowl after losing to Western Michigan.
* I have new stove and good food to eat on Thanksgiving.

And the No. 1 reason to be thankful...

* Bella was released from the hospital and got to spend Thanksgiving with her family.
