Interviewed By: Frank Giardina
The opening round of the NFL playoffs starts this weekend in Arizona, Minnesota, San Diego and Miami. Will there be the surprise team this season? Which player will be this year's Cinderella story?
It will be hard to top the story of last years' Super Bowl hero, David Tyree, a wide receiver for the New York Giants. On this edition of Sports Spectrum Today, we share an interview with Tyree from last February, one day prior to the Super Bowl.
It was one of the more remarkable Super Bowls of all time. In an amazing upset, the Giants knocked off the previously undefeated New England Patriots in Tempe, Arizona. When we interviewed Tyree, little did we know that on the next day he would make the greatest catch in Super Bowl history.
But there’s more to the story of David Tyree than football. His story is one of a life changed by Christ. He tells us how he overcame a youthful addiction to drugs and alcohol to become a useful member of last year's Giants team.
It’s a great way to start off the playoffs. Join us for a look back and remember one of the most incredible stories from last year's Super Bowl. It’s a visit with New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree on Sports Spectrum Today.
