Who's watching football today.





Probably not me. "Why not Scott, it's Thanksgiving." Because Mexican TV doesn't always show an American football game when they could be broadcasting a qualifier of the world cup or some other soccer tournament. Yes I have seen a couple football games since I've been down here but they really aren't that entertaining to watch when the Mexican announcer can pronounce names correctly Joe Flacco or Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre. IT's funny the first time but gets on my nerves. I just want to take some time out from the blogging of mission work and lighten the mood. So I figured I'd try and talk a little bit about stuff that Americans like. Football. Sorry Andy Broadsword I'm not going to talk about College Football or the Bronco's, your lucky I'm talking about football at all. As some of you know I like the Bengals. Yes I know they suck. I know they haven't gotten past their first win. I know they are 1-9-1. The funny thing is if you switch those numbers around it would spell 9-1-1. So hopefully one day they can reach the goal of winning 9 games in a season but I'm a loyal fan, I'm sticking with the ocho cinco. After all I"m in Mexico.

But seriously can some one just recognize that my team isn't the worst. The Lions still haven't won a game since TV land stop airing re-runs of Mr. Ed. And the Chiefs suck too.

Yes we also celebrated Thanksgiving as a family down here it was just a little different. The thing that really jumped out at me was this was one of the first meals down here where we didn't eat tortillas. HAHA
