Thanksgiving at the Bon Jovi household features plenty of food, family, and fun. But one thing it won't include is any backyard football.

Jon Bon Jovi's son Jesse says a backyard game known as the 'Turkey Bowl' used to be an annual tradition - until one of his uncles broke an ankle.

According to Jesse, his dad stepped in at that point and ended the game, saying "Okay, well, we're not allowed to do this anymore".
