Some Thanksgiving Football Questions For Mike Golub and Warren Lapp

By Tommy DeSeno

It is oft cited, as it was again today in this column by Asbury Park Press writer Steve Falk, that the oldest shore Thanksgiving Day football rivalry is Toms River South v Lakewood, at 92 straight games.
 
Knowing that Asbury Park played Neptune on Thanksgiving more than 92 years ago, I asked Mr. Falk if his info was correct.  He told me that there was a period of about 20 years somewhere around the 1920s to the 1940s where Asbury Park did not play Neptune on Thanksgiving, so TR v Lakewood is the oldest continuous Thanksgiving rivalry.
 
I was just wondering three things from you Neptune guys:
 
1.  Any idea why Asbury Park didn’t play Neptune for 20 years (I assume it was Neptune’s fault)?
 
2.  Any idea who Asbury beat (naturally) and Neptune lost to (naturally) during those years?
 
3.  Will either of you Neptune Turkeys be there tomorrow when Asbury Park (9-1) carves up Neptune (9-1) by a score of 21 to 6?

Thanksgiving

By Art Gallagher

This year, more than any before, I am present to the many blessing which have been bestowed upon me, for which I am grateful.

While I don’t recommend it, I am grateful that I was arrested and spent three weeks in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution.

I am grateful to have met the men and women I met while at MCCI, both inmates and staff. They gave me insights into life that will contribute to the rest of my life.

I am grateful to my friends who made sure I was safe.

I am grateful to know who loves me and has faith in me.  I am grateful to know who doesn’t.

I am grateful to know who my friends are.

I am grateful to know that I am either “popular”, “powerful,” or “polarizing” enough that my arrest, incarceration and release where more newsworthy than items in the police blotter.

I am grateful that I will have the opportunity to celebrate these, and many other blessings with friends and loved ones.

Happy Thanksgiving.
