No ka mea hiki i ka hapa nui o mākou ke hoʻomanaʻo, ua pāʻani nā Dallas Cowboys a me Detroit Lions i nā pāʻani ma ka lā Hoʻomaikaʻi. Akā, no ke aha?
E hoʻomaka kākou me nā Liona. Ua pāʻani lākou i kēlā me kēia Thanksgiving mai ka makahiki 1934, koe wale nō ka makahiki 1939-44, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou i hui maikaʻi i ka hapa nui o ia mau makahiki. Ua pāʻani nā Liona i ko lākou kau mua ma Detroit i ka makahiki 1934 (ma mua o kēlā, ʻo lākou ka Portsmouth Spartans). Ua paʻakikī lākou i ko lākou makahiki mua ma Detroit, no ka mea, makemake nui ka hapa nui o nā mea pāʻani ma laila i ka Detroit Tigers o ka baseball a ʻaʻole i hele nui mai e nānā i nā Liona. No laila, he manaʻo ko ka mea nona ka Liona ʻo George A. Richards: No ke aha e pāʻani ʻole ai i ka Thanksgiving?
Na Richards kekahi hale lekiō ʻo WJR, ʻo ia kekahi o nā keena nui loa ma ka ʻāina i kēlā manawa. He nui ko Richards ma ka honua hoʻolaha, a ua hōʻoia ʻo NBC e hōʻike i ka pāʻani ma ka ʻāina. Ua hele mai ka poʻokela NFL ʻo Chicago Bears i ke kaona, a ua kūʻai aku nā Liona i ke kahua o ke Kulanui o Detroit he 26,000 mau noho no ka manawa mua. Ua mālama ʻo Richards i ka moʻomeheu i nā makahiki ʻelua e hiki mai ana, a ua hoʻonohonoho ka NFL iā lākou ma ka Thanksgiving i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai lākou i ka pāʻani ma ia lā ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II. Ua kūʻai aku ʻo Richards i ka hui i ka makahiki 1940 a ua make ʻo ia i ka makahiki 1951, akā ke hoʻomau nei ka moʻomeheu āna i hoʻomaka ai i kēia lā i ka wā e pāʻani ai nā Liona ... ʻo Chicago Bears.
Ua pāʻani mua nā Cowboys i ka Thanksgiving i ka makahiki 1966. Ua komo lākou i ka liona i ka makahiki 1960 a, e like me ka paʻakikī o ka manaʻoʻiʻo i kēia manawa, paʻakikī lākou e huki i nā mea pā no ka mea ʻino loa lākou i kēlā mau makahiki mua. Ua noi ʻo Luna Nui ʻo Tex Schramm i ka NFL e hoʻonohonoho iā lākou no kahi pāʻani Hoʻomaikaʻi i ka makahiki 1966, me ka manaʻo e lilo ia i mea hoʻonui kaulana ma Dallas a me ka ʻāina hoʻi mai ka wā e hoʻolaha ʻia ai ka pāʻani.
Ua hana. Ua kūʻai ʻia he 80,259 tiketi Dallas-record i ka lanakila ʻana o nā Cowboys iā Cleveland Browns, 26-14. Ke kuhikuhi nei kekahi poʻe Cowboys i kēlā pāʻani ʻo ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Dallas e lilo i "hui ʻAmelika." Ua hala wale lākou i ka pāʻani ʻana i ka Thanksgiving ma 1975 a me 1977, i ka manawa i koho ai ke Komisina NFL ʻo Pete Rozelle i nā St. Louis Cardinals ma kahi.
ʻO nā pāʻani me nā Cardinals i hōʻike ʻia he poʻe pio i ka helu, no laila ua nīnau ʻo Rozelle i nā Cowboys inā e pāʻani hou lākou i ka makahiki 1978.
"He mea leʻaleʻa ia ma St. Louis," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Schramm i ka Chicago Tribune i ka makahiki 1998. "Nīnau ʻo Pete inā e hoʻihoʻi mākou. ʻŌlelo wau inā loaʻa mau iā mākou. He mea ia e kūkulu ai ʻoe ma ke ʻano he kuʻuna. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'Nau nō ia mau loa.' ”
Ua holo ʻo Nate Bain i lalo me ka manawa e pau ana a ua kiʻi ʻo ia ma kahi layup i ka pō Pōʻalua e hāʻawi iā Stephen F. Austin i kahi lanakila 85-83 overtime ma luna o Duke, e hoʻopau ana i ka lanakila ʻana o ka Blue Devils i ka home he 150 mau pāʻani kūʻē i nā hoa paio hui ʻole.
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Bain, he kanaka makua mai Bahamas, i kahi hālāwai ninaninau ma ka ʻaha a hoʻopaʻa i ka waimaka i ka haʻi ʻana i ka makahiki paʻakikī. ʻO ka home i noho ai kona ʻohana i luku ʻia e ka Hurricane Dorian i kēia makahiki.
"Ua nalowale koʻu ʻohana i kēia makahiki," wahi a Bain. "ʻAʻole au e uē ma ka TV."
Ua hoʻonohonoho nā luna ma Stephen F. Austin i kahi ʻaoʻao GoFundMe i ʻae ʻia e NCAA no Bain i Sepatemaba. Ua hoʻomaka nā haumāna ma Stephen F. Austin e kaʻana like i kēlā ʻaoʻao ma ka pānaehana kaiapili ma hope o ka lanakila, a ma ke ahiahi o ka Pōʻakolu, ua hoʻonui ʻia ma luna o $69,000, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka pahuhopu $50,000. Ma ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i kekahi o nā manaʻo, ʻo kekahi o nā mea hāʻawi aku he poʻe pā Duke.
