Lions linebacker gives his Thanksgiving turkey some swag


When you're an NFL player with a game scheduled for Thanksgiving, dinner plans can become difficult, which is probably why Detroit Loins linebacker Stephen Tulloch was preparing his turkey on Tuesday, two days before the holiday. Why Tulloch dressed said turkey in sunglasses, dog tags and a cigarette, however, is a different topic entirely.

"Who said turkey don't have swag," Tulloch captioned the photo. Not Ben Franklin, who thought turkeys to be "respectable birds" and a "Bird of Courage," though a "little vain and silly." (He did not want the turkey to be the national bird, despite the popular myth.)

Tulloch is listed at 240 pounds and probably possesses a healthy appetite, which makes me think that tiny bird may not be enough to feed him during his Thanksgiving celebration. Doesn't that thing look sickly? Must have been all that smoking.
