Welp, we’re calling it early: Gordon Hayward has the worst turkey of 2020

Get it out of here.

Our own Andy Nesbitt established this week what you probably already realized was true: Turkey is lame (there’s a reason you’re not roasting turkey with any regularity, right?) and you can do much better for your Thanksgiving feast.

However, maybe you’re a traditionalist. And if so, you might as well perfect your recipe and method. We tend to use Sam Sifton’s plan, though with some adjustments (lemons and oranges inside this year; let’s get nuts.)

Gordon Hayward, who recently signed a $120 million four-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets, has, instead, created one of the least-appetizing … anythings … of all time.

It’s risky, being early in the day, especially when you consider the people still roasting on the West Coast, but this has to be it, right? This is the worst turkey of the year.

There’s no sense in trying to diagnose what could have gone wrong here. All of it did. From start to finish. I feel bad that I showed you this. I hope I didn’t ruin your day.

And I hope Gordon was able to use some of that newly earned cash to order a better bird. Or pulled pork. Just something edible.
