Brady, the Patriots, & Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving: It's a day when football is part of the holiday's tradition for fans across Massachusetts. The New England Patriots are off until Sunday, when they host the Chicago Bears, but all across the state people are getting ready to root for their high school alma maters in traditional Thanksgiving Day games.

Joining WBUR's Bob Oakes for some pigskin talk is Charlie Pierce, author of the new book, "Moving the Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit of Everything."
