Another year and I am more grateful than ever for my friends and family, but also for my extended detroitlionsnfl and nfl families. You have been there with me thru the highs and the lows, and that relationship we share will always be what I remember about the game of football. Our common spirit. Our common goal. The love we all shared for our team and our heroes. Even after all these years (I retired after the 98 season), I am both surprised and grateful to have so many reaching out to me on my birthday. It means a lot. I even got to celebrate with a bunch of NY detroitlionsnfl fans at fanatics #FanFest - Thanks for all coming by! #DefendTheDen - See you at fordfield
