Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and with that holiday comes a tradition of family sporting events. I can remember getting into some heated but all-in-good-fun football games with my dad, uncle and assorted cousins after watching the real games on TV, and shooting some hoops with the same family members before carving into the turkey. However, this year, it's time to shake things up a bit. Now that Backyard Wrestling 2 is here just in time for the holiday, playing this wonderously bad game has inspired me to think maybe it's time to take those family sporting events to a new level. Instead of boring old football, why not instead carefully place your father on top of a table, and leap off your roof, nailing him with an asai moonsault? Or perhaps instead of a couple of rounds of hoops with your cousins, you should instead individually suplex each of them into beds of thumbtacks. But be careful! Grammy's set to do a run-in, and she's armed with fluorescent light tubes! Take her down with a well placed kendo stick shot to the solar plexus!

　　OK, seriously folks, this game is bad, bad, bad. Stay away if you value your sanity. And also, don't hit your grandmother with a kendo stick. She'll never send you another $20 check for your birthday if you do, and if you're anything like me, you've been living steadily off those checks well into your 20's.
