If you are either a Cardinals or Eagles fan, please stop reading here, and we won't have a problem.
For everyone else, I really ask you why would you want to spend your Thanksgiving watching Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb have a quarterback battle? No, one really.
But, here at the Skip Bayless Report, we believe in reporting all sides of the story; so here are 10 reasons why someone would watch the Cardinals vs. Eagles:
1. Your fantasy team not only has Anquan Boldin or Larry Fitzgerald, but you also have Kurt Warner, Tim Hightower, and Kevin Curtis.
2. You revel in the fact you get to see a rare matchup of two bird mascots, and one of them is not a bird of prey.
3. You bet your girl/boyfriend who is from Philly/Arizona, that their team would lose, and you don't want to sound like an idiot.
4. In a post-Thanksgiving coma, you are unable to move from the couch and the game is on the channel that you happen to be watching. But remember you are in a coma, and you can't change the channel.
5. You want to see the Philadelphia fans embarrass themselves, and seeing as how there is a high probability of Santa being there, you may see something good.
6. You're anti-establishment and you like seeing teams break the "two games on Thanksgiving" mold.
7. You have NFL Network and you want to get your money's worth.
8. You have NFL Network and you want to impress your guy friends who don't.
9. Your fantasy team has David Akers or Neil Rackers (but this is a bad excuse, because you will root for the boring).
10. You just saw the Titans blow out the Lions and Cowboys destroy the Seahawks, and you just pray that you can get a good game of football.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I'm neither, I'll be watching because the game itself is important.
If the Cardinals win, they keep their hopes alive for a #2 seed and pretty much destroy the Eagles 2008 season, officially.
If the Eagles win, well, that adds to the " last minute drive " of what we have every year, with like 2 or 3 teams that have slim chance of making the playoffs, but every week they're still mathematically alive. lol.
Also, I have Warner in all my fantasy leagues, I drafted Brady #1 and Warner in later rounds.
In one of my leagues I do have Fitzy and Boldin.
So yeah, that adds a lot to it.
OH, I also have Cardinals D starting in one of my leagues.

I am an Eagles fan, I thought the story was funny. I really don't care about the game! I probably will watch the first half.
Good story; funny.

The birds are a funny story. Every loss this year (with McNabb at the helm) was by a touchdown or less.(Ravens the exception, Joe Flacco went to my highschool, nice) Many times their run defense has been superb. They play great against great teams and you know how against well The Bengals. I really wish they could make the playoffs because their potential to beat anyone is there. Maybe Andy Reid will get caught sneaking drugs to his kid in jail and someone else could call the freaking plays!!!! A win against the giants next week would get people talking. Thank you Phils for making this typical Philly sports fan football season seem less important. Who am I kidding, I still feel like hurting myself.

The game actually did accomplish many positives for the Eagles. Donovan McNabb repairs his image with 4 TD's and in a symbolic move, Andy Reid replaces him again with Kolb, but this time for mop up duty. Westbrook leaves the game relatively healthy and looking like a scoring machine.
