Erik’s Extra Point: Tyree on a bad-luck streak
Written by Erik Scalavino on June 22, 2009 – 12:23 pm -Did David Tyree make a deal with the devil? After making “The Catch” in Super Bowl XLII — and thereby helping shatter every Patriots fans dreams of a perfect 19-0 season – he hasn’t been back on the football field for the New York Giants. And his chances of being there in time for training camp have been dealt another blow.
According to a CBS Sportsline feature over the weekend, Tyree has suffered yet another setback in his attempt to come back from a season-ending knee surgery and subsequent hamstring injury he suffered last off-season. Tyree admitted in the story that he the process has been “frustrating” for him, as he watches other Giants receivers get valuable reps in his place.
So, yeah, he will go down in Super Bowl history for his still-can’t-believe-it play against New England, but he seems to have been paying the price ever since.

ummmm bryce, that would be a deal with the devil if he traded the injuries for the catch. David tyree is a joke, he is more valuable to the giants not playing. what a joke of a catch and a joke of an outcome and a joke Asante Samuel was if u watch that replay to stop when he could have come and run through him while Harrison was making contact with him. JOKE
