Dud No. 1 – Washington’s portion control

The Washington Football Team needs to schedule a meeting with a dietitian. On Thanksgiving, you’re supposed to be polite and not get seconds until everyone else has eaten, but Washington went ahead and got seconds, thirds, fourths, and vacuumed up the leftovers before the Cowboys reluctantly finished off the broccoli casserole.

Washington and Dallas went toe-to-toe through two quarters, as Washington led 17-13 at the half. But the Cowboys never led after that, and in the fourth quarter, the Washington Football Team rocketed away with 21 unanswered points, turning a 20-16 lead into a 41-16 lead.

If Washington’s going to score 40 points every now and then, why can’t they have a more even distribution by quarter? Scientifically, it’s unhealthy to eat past 9:00 PM in the evening, and Washington’s feast in the fourth quarter yesterday was the equivalent of Thanksgiving dinner at 10:30.

But at the end of the day, at least they ate. And they ate well, nonetheless.
