Blog 4 (4th Quarter)

So far I am enjoying my 4th quarter outside reading book. It is entitled "More than Just the Catch." The book is a co-written autobiography about David Tyree; the man who made one of the most amazing catches in Superbowl history. In this week's reading, David talked about how his life was spinning out of control. Since he was signed to the New York Giants, he constantly was late and was basically the teams' slacker. Eventually he was fined $10,000 for being constantly late and missing practices. David turned to selling weed to try and pay the fine, because he says unlike some of the big football stars, he wasn't making that much of a salary. He was soon caught by the police with some of his friends with a few ounces of marijuana and taken into custody. His name was being butchered by the bad publicity and he was worried that he would have to face time in jail. He prayed that he wouldn't and it turns out he got off the hook. At that point, David began to turn his life around. He began going to church and believing in God, because he believed only a miracle could have really gotten him out of that situation. Soon after he also made a commitment and married his wife.
