The Tri-Pod is back and so is Cam Newton!! Pem is reminded that his wife makes the rules in the house and family pictures will happen no matter if it is a football Sunday or not! We debate if Cam Newton returning to the Panthers is the right decision and take a look around the league to see if any division leaders should be concerned about what's in their rear view mirror. And with Turkey Day right around the corner, we wrap the show with what we are looking forward to the most on Thanksgiving! CHEERS!!
