[BALADO] The Pay Zone: It’s Thanksgiving in the NFL
In the United States, it’s festive week with the traditional Thanksgiving. The menu is loaded, both at the table and when it comes to football. Some, like the Patriots, are successful and are likely to savor the moment. Others, like ex-Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, will find the turkey indigestible. Not easy, life in the NFL, even in the middle of the week of the festivities.

Garrett, who had made a name for himself during his long tenure at the helm of the Cowboys, has just been shown the door in his second season as the Giants’ offensive coordinator. He is so far the first coach to be sacked this season. Is he a simple scapegoat paying the price for the dire situation at the Giants or has he earned his fate? Our analysts give their answers.
Meanwhile, life is much better with the Patriots, who have won five in a row. Now they’ve taken over the lead of the AFC East Division from the Bills, which seemed unthinkable just a month ago. They have to be taken seriously, but to what extent?
