Thanksgiving, Sengoku-Style: Making Football More Epic

This week we’re bringing you some advice and ideas on making Thanksgiving a more epic holiday—you know, like how Sengoku Basara is epic. In that vein, we’ve got a few Sengoku Basara-inspired ideas for how to make Thanksgiving Day football an unmissable event.

1.     First and foremost: the field is way too small. 120 yards? Please. Make it like a mile long.

2.     Now that the field is longer, you’ll need to get around faster. Let’s put the players on horses. Date Masamune’s horse has those turbo engines, so let’s just stick those on too.

3.     You might think we’d try to ban padding and other protective gear but forget it: we’re all about armor. How about the front line has spiked helmets for all the head-butting?

4.     Fans are encouraged to participate. Any fan who enters the field and survives immediately becomes an official player.

5.     The game begins as soon as the referee has been disabled. Who needs one anyway?

6.     Oda Nobunaga is banned from play.

7.     Weapons are not only allowed but encouraged. Except for sharp metal hula hoops—we’re looking at you, Motonari Mori.

8.     No illegal touching.

9.     There will be motion-activated sideline cannons at every 100 yard line.

10.  Five words: Mines in the end zone.
