JQ - Now last week was Thanksgiving. What did you end up doing for this holiday?
MD - I went home and ate with the family and watched the Cowboys destroy the Jets!!!

JQ - Give me three things that you are most thankful for this year.
MD - I would say my family, teammates, (Callum Jones), and friends.

JQ - I particularly love Thanksgiving. Everything about it; the turkey, the family, the football, and the twenty pounds I aspire to gain every year. What do you enjoy most about Thanksgiving?
MD - Watching my uncles act a fool!!

JQ - I have to admit it is by far my favorite holiday. What is yours and why?
MD - Turkey Day has to be my favorite because I'm a fat boy at heart.

JQ - Although I love Thanksgiving. I think I could do without cranberry sauce. I really feel like it is unnecessary, and well, quite frankly a little overrated. What do you think?
MD - I disagree. You can't have Thanksgiving without the cranberry sauce.

JQ - Have you ever noticed that our society jumps into the Christmas season faster than Tara Reid jumps onto single men?
MD - Yeah, I see it all the time; it's kind of ridiculous when I see Christmas trees in October.

JQ - I feel like America is always looking towards the next best thing rather than celebrating the present. When it is Halloween, Thanksgiving signs are up. When it is Thanksgiving, "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" is playing. When it is Christmas people think about New Years. And when it is New Years, people think about being depressed for the next three months. Why do you think America cannot just live for the moment?
MD - I know it is crazy.

JQ - During your home opener against American International College, you temporarily left the game due to injury. In fact, where I was sitting, it appeared you were took a knee below the belt. Can you please expand on what happened?

JQ - Name me five foods that you would not be able to live life without.
MD - I don't think I can name five foods I can live without because, like I said, I'm a fat boy at heart. However, I HATE mustard!!

JQ - Would you rather piss off 21 skunks in an enclosed 10 X 5 foot box or have to eat three live hamsters in one hour or less?
MD - Probably piss off the 21 skunks.

JQ - Why?
MD - Because I could not eat a live rodent, and I have heard the skunks cannot spray for a while after they do it once.

JQ - For as long as I can remember I wanted to invent the teleporter. It would make life so much easier if, at the push of a button I can be anywhere in the world. What would you want to invent?
MD - I would invent a device that can drive on land and fly because I am so impatient when I want to get from point A to point B.
