Josh Norman was involved in several physical altercations in the Thanksgiving football game last week and it didn’t involve the New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham, Jr.

Dallas Cowboys receiver, Dez Bryant, was the target for Josh Norman this time and it didn’t go well.

The most anticipated game on Thanksgiving Day didn’t disappoint, resulting in the Cowboys beating the Redskins 31-26 in a rivalry game for the ages.

However, no one anticipated the scuffle between Norman and Bryant that would happen during the game. The alteration and trash talking became increasingly heated to the point where the players had to be separated and warned by the refs to calm down.

But the players didn’t calm done anytime soon.

The exchange of physical altercations between the two players became the most brute, when Bryant made a 13-yard catch to set up a Prescott touchdown run. Norman grabbed Bryant’s leg after the play, stopping Bryant from standing on his feet, ending in a dispute between the teams.

The trash talking continued all the way to the end of the game and ended with Norman and Bryant going helmet-to-helmet. The players once again had to be separated by their teammates.

After the game, Norman and Bryant took their frustration off the field and carried it into the post-game interviews. Where both players expressed their feelings about each other.

Bryant stated his press conference with this statement:

"First off, Washington needs to get their money back from Josh Norman," Bryant told reporters, vIa USA Today's Lorenzo Reyes.

Dez Bryant’s statement was a response to Josh Norman’s statement last year when Norman stated:

The Cowboys get Dez's $70 million back," referencing the five-year, $70 million deal Bryant signed in the summer of 2015.

In that game against the Panthers and the Cowboys, Dez Bryant was limited to only two catches for 26 yards in the Cowboys 33-14 loss.

In this year’s Thanksgiving Day game, Bryant obtained five catches for 72 yards, with two of the catches being caught while Norman was defending him.

Bryant continued his rant by saying:

"I didn't make it personal. I was just going to come out and do my job and that's exactly what I did. He wanted to bump and me and him got to bumping a little bit and it just made me attack him even more. I honestly feel like the guy is extremely soft. He's a bunch of talk.

But Norman couldn’t let Dez Bryant get all the attention. He also expressed his feelings about the receiver following the game.

"Don't step to someone when the game is over like that when they're not even looking for you, or even having a conversation with you," he said. "They won the game, so you have to tip your hats off to them. But I don't do trash, and that was trashy on his behalf."

The two continued to bash one another during the post-game and have become “enemies” in the NFL. The good news is the two teams will not meet again in the season.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
