But it’s all for the best, the idea is to try and win the game but they all know how hard it will be. This is what Turner said: “Every Thanksgiving, probably 30 to 40 of my family and friends all gather at my mom and dad’s house in Park Ridge, New Jersey. So yeah, we’re gonna miss out on that. Mom and Dad are here, so it will be a little bit different for the people back home this time around.”
