Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy ThanksgivingHopefully, if you are reading this on Thanksgiving day, it is only because you have picked your favorite seat on the couch, there is a break in one of the football games, and your house has some great wireless internet. If you are on here for some other reason, we are happy to have you on the blog. Either way, everyone at I Want to be a Sports Agent would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. I would like to shoot out some bullet points and then leave you on your merry way for the rest of the day.
