1. What in sports are you most thankful for?

Jim Walsh: I’m glad Cutler’s finally getting some credit for what he does now that he’s out.

Alex Quigley: If I don’t say Tim Tebow, I get struck by lightning, right?

Matt Pais: The hypothetical future success of the Cubs. Less thankful for: Do I even need to say?

Jimmy Greenfield: Twitter during a #Blackhawks game.

Bag Boy: Good thumb surgeons.

2. Who’s the biggest turkey in sports right now?

Jim Walsh: The one stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a duck.

Alex Quigley: I read that wrong and instantly thought “Omer Asik.”

Matt Pais: That egotistical receiver who was all talk in the offseason and has contributed nothing. He knows who he is.

Jimmy Greenfield: I may be a little late to the party but I’ll go with Shoeless Joe Jackson.

Bag Boy: The turkeys who questioned Jay Cutler’s toughness.

3. What’s your Thanksgiving sports tradition?

Jim Walsh: Mostly classified, but it involves a La-Z-Boy, stuffing and the Dallas Cowboys. Wait, what?

Alex Quigley: Destroying the field at the Quigley family Euchre tourney.

Matt Pais: Many years ago, playing in a Turkey Bowl. Now: eating turkey, watching the game. Supporting bowls too, I guess.

Jimmy Greenfield: I write my Five on Five answers the Monday before Thanksgiving.

Bag Boy: Football, turkey, family and coming up with new and amazing stenches.

4. Besides the NFL, what other sports should be featured on Thanksgiving?

Jim Walsh: Women’s volleyball.

Alex Quigley: Since the Lions are already playing: professional cheap-shottery.

Matt Pais: Mashed potato wrestling. Extreme underwater stuffing. Post-Thanksgiving dinner marathons. Gross.

Jimmy Greenfield: Hockey. Or perhaps hockey. And if not hockey, then hockey.

Bag Boy: I see no reason why the NHL couldn’t check in with a late West Coast game.

5. When I hear “Black Hole,” I think …

Jim Walsh: … who comes up with these questions?

Alex Quigley: … a singularity from which nothing can escape, even light. Like Jimmy’s basement.

Matt Pais: … part gatherings of Raiders fans, part outer space. All places I don’t plan to travel.

Jimmy Greenfield: … out of sports? An abyss from which light cannot escape. In sports? Jerry Angelo.

Bag Boy: Lately I think of the U.S. deficit. Oops. Too political? I’ll say the NBA season.
