Mac and cheese a Thanksgiving side? A debate is happening in the NFL

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Maybe Matthew Judon knew he'd start a debate, ripping through macaroni and cheese like it was an opposing offensive tackle. But the New England Patriots' outside linebacker wants no part of it in his house or at his table.

And it's certainly not part of his Thanksgiving.

"I'm going to tell you we got to get macaroni and cheese off the table," Judon said Tuesday. "All right, guys. It's just cheese and noodles. I'm getting on my soapbox. It's just cheese and noodles and it's not that good."

He considered it "one of the most overrated dishes," and that the way to have a good Thanksgiving is to avoid the magic of macaroni and cheese.
