Thanksgiving may be technically about the turkey and time with family and friends, but for thousands of people across the country it’s about something much more: Flag football and bragging rights.

For all of your questions (or at least the ones we had) about what’s acceptable and not during a casual Turkey Day flag football game, For The Win went to someone who plays real football to define the rules: Miami receiver Kenny Stills.

FTW: What’s an acceptable length of time to brag about winning the family flag football game?

Stills: All year. The bragging doesn’t stop until the champ is beaten.

FTW: How big should the playbook be and what’s a play that’s sure to work for a game-winner?

Stills: Only need one play. GET OPEN!

FTW: Is it OK to have practice before the family flag football game?

Stills: A little pregame warm up and stretch! Safety first!

FTW: How much trash talk is too much trash talk? End zone celebration?

Stills: There’s no such thing as too much! I’ve always been taught to act like you’ve been there though!
