Happy Birthday to your Dad! Is he chained up as well?

You must have very interesting Thanksgiving dinners then.
Christmas is the interesting one because the teams usually play around that time and everyone on that side of the family roots for Green Bay. For instance, I wore my Anthony Barr jersey to Christmas dinner the year that he put Aaron Rodgers on the shelf. I thought my uncle was going to strangle me when I played dumb and asked, “Oh, was he the guy who injured Rodgers?” All in good fun. My uncle was relieved when he found out I had the jersey before Rodgers was injured.
That’s like wearing an LT jersey to Joe Theismann’s house.
