Oh, Bother! (Week 14)
Week 13 came and went, and good God, what a mess that was! So many things were twisted and turned during that Thanksgiving weekend that occurred, and as a result, we have quite the picture entering the final five weeks of the season. Week 14 of 18 is early in the home stretch, so teams have some time to get things going, but not much. Week 14 officially turns the calendar to the month of December (yes, Week 13 ended on December 1). Once upon a time, the season as a whole ended in December with the champion crowned. That hasn't been the case in over six decades, but still, December does currently serve as the final full month of the regular season.

NFL Week 13 Recap: Leftovers
If there's a holiday known for leftovers, it's Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving leftovers could span about two extra days, three if you're lucky. In the case of the NFL's Thanksgiving weekend, following the three Turkey Day games and the Black Friday game, we get a lot of leftovers--in the form of the remaining 12 games (11 on Sunday, and one on Monday). The one that is giving me the most concern is the meeting between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills, and regarding the former, they entered Sunday on top of the AFC North due to the Ravens fizzling. They had a 7-3 lead at halftime; it was looking good.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United: A Match Showing Two Teams on Different Trajectories . AI-Generated.
Setting the Scene When Crystal Palace hosted Manchester United at Selhurst Park, the fixture appeared routine on paper. United, one of the Premier League’s most decorated clubs, were expected to dominate a mid-table Palace side still figuring out its rhythm under new leadership. But football rarely follows the logic written in the league table. Instead, what played out was a telling reflection of two clubs—one quietly climbing through steady progress and the other stuck between identity and execution.

NFL Week 13 Thanksgiving & Black Friday Recap: A Seat at the Table
Thanksgiving, for many decades, has always been about the three "Fs": family, food, and football. When it comes to that latter third, the football is often competitive, as Thanksgiving always kicks off the home stretch of the NFL season. Now it would be wild enough if it was just Thanksgiving, but in 2023, Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) became part of the wonderful madness as well. So after feasting on food and football, you sleep it off, then wake up at crazy hours to beat the crowds and shop for the holidays, and then make it home in time for one more game for that day. Beautiful!
