Whenever possible, I try to assemble something special for Thanksgiving. Longtime readers know that our family celebrates not just Thanksgiving, but my oldest son's (and my) birthday. The holiday has always taken on a special significance to me, as I have always been a firm believer in our nation's civic spirit, a belief that has gotten rather rickety in the last few weeks.
Bleacher report gave me the opportunity to enlist some old friends (Lions QB turned depression counselor and activist Eric Hipple)and new to deliver this year's "proclamation." Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and remember that today's the day we celebrate people of color rescuing undocumented refugee immigrants escaping religious oppression.
