Summary

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are getting ready for a great holiday weekend. On today's episode I reflect on what I'm thankful for from my experiences with sports. Sports has dominated my life and I share some memories from my early years especially on Thanksgiving Day. Two plays that always stand out to me are Lawrence Taylor's 97 interception return against the Lions in 1982 and Leon Lett's blunder that cost the Cowboys the game against the Dolphins in 1993. I also talk about going full circle with my dad and two sons as it relates to sharing fan experiences. Thank you for your support!!! Happy Thanksgiving! Learn more about your ad choices.
