Jason Gay, WSJ: 32 rules of Thanksgiving touch football

Plenty of great tips here for anyone thinking of tossing the ‘ol pigskin around with the kinfolk this afternoon. Here are a few of my favorites:

2. Find a nice patch of grass. It doesn’t have to be big. You don’t need a regulation 100 yards. Half the people in your family, if they ran 100 yards, they’d wind up in the hospital for a month.

7. No footballs with wings or propellers or tails or streamers. Here’s a good rule: If the football would make Dick Butkus throw up, don’t use it.

29. Goes without saying, but if it snows, it’s a classic.

Indeed.

Be sure to read the whole thing. Happy Thanksgiving!
