THANK YOU!
I want to thank you all for voting for me and the Steelers during the 2009 ESPY Awards. Because of you, I can add winning an ESPY award to my list of accomplishments and am so proud. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and believing in me. I have been to the ESPY's before but this time the feeling was much different. Being nominated, there were so many emotions running through my head. I was nervous, I was excited, I was thankful, and most of all I was feeling blessed. When they called Ben & my name for the winner of the Best Play, I couldn't believe it. It made it very special that my kids and my mom were there with me to share in the moment. My kids are the reason that I keep doing what I do. As a parent, we want to give them a life we never had. My kids have been with me the whole summer. Being with them has definitely given us the daddy kid time we needed and has shown me that being a single parent is not an easy thing. Because of this, it makes me want to work harder and hope that one day when they look back on all of this, they will be very proud of their daddy. Thank you again to my fans for continuing to make this great ride a success!! God Bless,
