Kenny had no phone for two days so this episode actually took place on Thanksgiving. Sorry. Also Pete got charged $90 for melted Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream via Uber Eats. We talked all three Thanksgiving games and the breaking news of the NFL and College football. Be thankful we take no days off, even when others say the same and then take the day off.

Special guests from Courtside Radio Eric Lambkins II and Alexander Hymes drop in to talk Thursday Night Football, the FUTURE of Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, college football and the occasional take or tangent. Follow us on all platforms at www.touchdownandtangents.com as well as to stream our archives.

We talked about Odell BeckhamJr to the Rams and how we’ve predicted all the Rams moves for the past year or so. Salute to Les Snead. We talked the Astroworld tragedy and more waiver news like Desean Jackson to the Las Vegas Raiders.

College Football news elaborated on the Playoff standings, the Jimmy Lake suspension, some high school football and of course SEC politics.
