Brett Favre says he wants to thank the Dallas Cowboys for giving him something to cheer about and a way to skip out on the press a few days. He says he might be pitiful for sending that lady a text of what she's missing but he ain't as down right pitiful as the Cowboys. Jerry Jones later said at a press conference not knowing he was being taped "them some sorry sapsuckers."
