NFL Thanksgiving Schedule

I was reading through the stories chronicling all of the Cowboys' national TV games and had to do a double take when I read that their Thanksgiving opponent is going to be the Oakland Raiders. The franchise that has lost 72 games in the last 6 seasons, never fewer than 11? Their recent national TV appearances have been centralized on the 2nd half of ESPN's opening night doubleheader. It works well since recent Raider teams fall behind so quickly that the outcome is known before the local 11:00 news starts on the east coast. But this game will be on CBS late afternoon... here's an idea. Send the Raiders to Detroit (on the NFL Network, that game shouldn't be shown over the public airwaves) and Green Bay to Dallas. We'd be able to enjoy some good football on Thanksgiving that way!
