"I was blogging about Thanksgiving leftover turkey soup/sandwiches in my suburbia town called Echelon and why, despite being residentially close to Philadelphia Eagles fanfare in the American Homeland for football-TV culture, I'd become something of a TV-culture cheer-man of Detroit Lions NFL Thanksgiving 'stuff' (as the team had become a special annual/festive holiday-season TV football-team for community gatherings talk/ale/turkey!)."



"My name's Amlan Satan, and I'm a Slovak-Algerian Catholic immigrant/citizen and fan of sports 'stuff' for American Homeland chat(s) and found special holiday-season food-share imagery interest/IQ complementing sportsmanship windows and football fanfare 'stuff' for the Ego. I enjoyed collecting Detroit Lions fan 'stuff' and cheering for the iconic Western/American sports organization for its Selfie culture 'diplomacy' of what made Thanksgiving a citizen/pedestrian/patriot language for things of lifestyle...and superstition (Facebook-like)."



READER: You blog about your Lions football cards for Thanksgiving share.
ME: Sure, I do...and I'm proud of my cards of Barry Sanders and Matt Stafford, ok!
READER: Those are great Super Bowl caliber players, running-back and QB, ok.
ME: Stafford moved to Los Angeles where he won a Super Bowl, wow.
READER: Barry Sanders was an all-time great, one of the greatest RBs (ever).
ME: Something to share with my nephews for Thanksgiving in Echelon (Selfie-like).
READER: Fair for fare (Facebook-like!).



"Yes, Stafford moved from Detroit-city to sunny-LA where he won the Lombardi-trophy title as a Rams-QB. However, he started his athletics life in pro-level language as a Lion; and he was a Thanksgiving-TV QB-celeb man for a short-time, short enough for me to cheer the Lions' varied rivalries/contests with holiday-season 'stuff' for the Ego (Facebook-like)."



GIRLFRIEND: I was at the Echelon-gym and someone recognized me.
ME: Someone who read my cyber-blogs about you being my Lions cheerleader?
GIRLFRIEND: It was someone I knew from high-school...wondered about Lion-IQ.
ME: Well, I know it's ironic since we live in New Jersey; we should cheer Philly.
GIRLFRIEND: I told my high-school buddy you'd become a chef (Thanksgiving, ha).
ME: That's fair for fare, darling...Thanksgiving-football TV is pure social fitness.
GIRLFRIEND: It's become an American ritual, for sports at least, ok.
ME: Hey...you at the gym spreading word for Lion-cards at Echelon is superstition.
GIRLFRIEND: Facebook-like (for Heaven/Hell).
