HD Sportsman – Nov. 23-29 XL Gobble Gobble edition

An extra-large helping of sports for an extra-large week. Happy Thanksgiving, not only can you feast all day Thursday, you can feast on sports all week long. This is by far the busiest week we’ve seen since the NCAA Basketball Tournament’s opening week. College basketball tournaments make up most of the schedule, but the NBA, NHL, NFL and college football make multiple appearances as well.

Since this is a holiday week, I’ve posted the entire schedule for the week instead of the usual weekday and weekend posts. I’ll try to get back and sort out the TBAs as much as I can, but there’s Turkey to eat too. To make things easier, I’ve split off the college basketball tournaments into their own categories for each day if there’s more than one game. You can also use the links below to head directly to that day.

SPOTLIGHT
Hard to pass by Thanksgiving Day football. It’s been a tradition for years. So, at 12:30 p.m. on FOX you get (or are forced to watch) the Lions hosting Green Bay in one of the more traditional turkey day matchups. At 4 p.m. Oakland invades Dallas on CBS. Enjoy!

Don’t forget to check out the HD Sportsman as part of the “Seen in HD” podcast every week.

Here’s the rest of the weekend, use these links to skip right to that day.
