SS at the Super Bowl: Blog Entry No. 7
On Saturday morning at the 2012 Athletes in Action Super Bowl Breakfast, we interviewed four people: legendary quarterback Bart Starr, 2012 Bart Starr Award winner London Fletcher, Super Bowl XLII champion David Tyree and Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell. If you haven't read Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher's story in our Winter 2012 issue, <a href="https://sportsspectrum.com/subscribe/" target="_blank">you have to read it</a>. That's what makes him receiving the Bart Starr Award even more impressive...because of where he's come from. In the media room, he talked about living "the NFL life" for seven years but then turning things around. And here he was receiving an award based on "outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community." Amazing. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZAeRk3GH0so" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
