My favorite thing about the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is that I have every excuse in the world to be as lazy as I want because tomorrow I get to watch football and do absolutely nothing else. Thank you, pilgrims. Thank you, Native Americans. Although I am sorry about how everything turned out. Really wish I could do something about that, but I can’t, so let’s settle on some high fives and legal gambling.

If you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about and if I’m going to make a point, the answer is Vanessa Hudgens and yes.

On the women’s side, 9th-ranked Samantha Stosur defeated Serena Williams 6-2 and 6-3 to win the Women’s Championship, and of course Williams blamed it on the officiating. Williams yelled, “Come on” during a rally and umpire Eva Asderaki docked her a point for a code violation. That’s when Williams became a little miffed.
