I am thankful for my great family, a great job and a very blessed life.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this being Thanksgiving week and we have people visiting, this blog will be shorter. As I promised last week, we came out last Sunday, played hard and played much better and came out with a hard fought victory against a very good Tennessee Titans football team. I have never been apart of a game like that before in my life. It seemed like guys were getting injured right and left. I think that pulling out a victory despite all the injuries just shows our team resilience and determination to come out and show what kind of team we really are. <\/p>\n<p>This week we take on the Minnesota Vikings. I know they have been struggling this year, but they are still a very talented team, and I personally look forward to playing against Brett Favre. With a new coach this week I\u2019m sure they will be rejuvenated and fired up to play this week, much like the Cowboys have been since they got their new coach. I can\u2019t wait to play.<\/p>\n<p>Once again Happy Thanksgiving and I look forward to seeing everyone this Sunday at the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.\u201d &#8211; John F.
