I'm Thankful For You, Sactown Royalty

Thanks for all the work you and the rest of the STR gang have done to make this such an awesome site. Seriously on of the best sports communities I’ve seen.

I have to admit – Thanksgiving is a holiday I don’t understand. It may have started as some celebration of togetherness in recognition of the welcoming native Americans to their aggressive Anglo invaders (hey, it eventually spawned Casinos!). It has represented a day of giving to those who don’t have and for most of us, appreciation for all we do have; it is an ultimate day of excesses. Eat chips and dip, cheeseball (!), to nog or not to nog, then a choice of proteins, sugar glazed salted fat or a lean dry stringy sedative, included with a lineup of secondaries: starches, sugar coated, fat blended and covered, and lastly so many desserts that Randy Youngman and his version of "sky" have to be mentioned (pecan, pumpkin, apple, berry, peach, cherry, lemon meringue).
Ok, I am a Thanksgiving Grinch (and a hypocritical one at that). What has that got to do with basketball? The involvement with food, family, friends and football, the growing excitement of college basketball (grats Coach K) and the lack of negotiating news has revealed a realization, most glaring: The NBA is sinking into insignificance. Ringing in the NBA’s ears is a cacophony of emptiness. With no hope of an agreement in sight, fans furrowed brows have led to brow upswings and shoulder shrugs. Is there any more disheartening a sign for a business then finding out your customers don’t need you or miss you and they realize it?
So, NBA owners and NBA Players Union – Americans are going to spend the day eating until they puke. We all have plenty on our plate – you better make news you turkeys unless you want to be leftovers.

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody at StR.

I’m thankful for being able to share my fandom with you all and happy to call some of you my friends. Have a great Thanksgiving.

All my kids and grandkids live in Alaska and needless to say I miss them during the holidays. I also miss NBA basketball and especially the Kings. But no matter what, Sactown Royalty is always around to cheer me up. There is always a laugh in there somewhere. Wit is never lacking with this group, even the bickering is enjoyable. Thank you all and enjoy this Thanksgiving.

I’m not American, but for those who are and are celebrating Thanksgiving today, cheers.
From Canada.

It’s because of the great people on this site that we are still able to be battling to keep our team where they belong, here in SAC! We’ve got a lot ot be thankful for and a lot ahead still…keep up the fight StR!
