Back to Business<\/p>\n
The bye week was great and much needed. I had a chance to get away and enjoy some time with family and friends. It was nice to have a mental and physical break. I was able to watch college football all day with my family on Saturday, which was cool because I very rarely get to do that. On Sunday we flew back to Washington fairly early and we were able to watch some NFL games. I have to admit this was kind of weird, I\u2019m used to getting ready to play a game, so to be sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings watching all of the games at once was very different for me.<\/p>\n
We are also building a house right now. I had no idea the amount of decisions and amount of things that go into building a home. I had no idea a countertop could be rounded, straight edged, curved in and so many other things. I remember the very first thing we did was look at doors. The doors had four panels, two panels, one big panel and so on. I had never looked at a door like that before. Then we had to decide on the grooves and about a million other things. It\u2019s cool to build a house the way we want it, but I have to be honest, most of the little things aren\u2019t a big deal to me. As long as I get my TV\u2019s and a few other obviously important things, I\u2019m ultimately not that picky. <\/p>\n
We came back and it feels good to get back into the flow of things again and it feels good to be getting ready to play a game this week. I must admit, I feel much better physically and refreshed mentally. I am excited to play these last eight games and finish out the season with a strong finish and make a push for the playoffs.
\nThe Eagles are a very good team and Mike Vick is playing really well again. They present a really good challenge. Obviously it\u2019s the rematch of our first game, when we beat them in a really well played and closely contested game. On top of that, it\u2019s Monday Night Football, baby! I can\u2019t wait to play! It will be my first Monday night game of my career. <\/p>\n
I have to just throw this out there, I am rooting for the Miami Heat this year. They are kind of the black sheep of the NBA because a lot of people think they are almost cheating to win championships. Something about that appeals to me. I also want to mention it because a lot of guys on the team are Lakers fans. I am not particularly a huge basketball fan, but like I said, something about the unpopularity of the Heat appeals to me. <\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know if many of you know this, but I was one the cover of Hail! Magazine a week or so ago. If you haven\u2019t seen or read it you should. It\u2019s a good issue, for obvious reasons. <\/p>\n
Once again, I can\u2019t wait to get the second half of the season started, play a very good Eagles team again and play on Monday Night Football!!! I can\u2019t wait to see Redskin Nation out in full force!!<\/p>\n
