The writers of this fine site have taken time to share with you, dear reader, some of the things for which each of us is thankful. Bringing up the rear is Josh Zerkle who still writes under the name “PUNTE” (derived from here), and serves as the current managing editor of most of the bastardry appearing here. Enjoy.

In real life, I’m not a thankful person. I complain about everything. I’m a complainer by nature, and so I don’t really think to enjoy the more wonderful things in life. When those things are happening, I usually think of that as down time.

But I am thankful for the opportunities that I have had: I’m thankful to be creative with talent people and to contribute to something that’s gained attention from a lot of people at Kissing Suzy Kolber. I was fortunate to get a chance to write about all sports with a guy after that, a guy that still does it as well as anyone. And then again, when Matt offered me a place to rant here, on a site borne from his own vision.

Other things for which I need to give thanks: My wife, who somehow tolerates a husband who literally sits on his ass all day. And I should probably thank the other people stuck with me in their lives, including the other guys at KSK and at Uproxx. And I should be thankful for these things, in random order: Blackberrys, the McDonalds value meal, ice hockey, friends, Yuengling beer, the Lord of the Rings movies, poker, and the internet. And thanks to you. You are most likely a bored person at work with much better things to do with your time, and yet here you are. Thanks for that. And I probably left a few things of that list, but I hear the band playing, so it’s time to wrap it up.

Some site news for you: We’ll have a short day of postage tomorrow Friday afternoon. In the interim, listen to Josh on the Joe Sports Fan podcast and On The DL, and have a happy Thanksgiving with you and yours. And by the way, that banner image came from here, which is wonderfully NSFW. Gobble gobble indeed.
