Tebow Not the First
by Denny BurkFeb 5

I will never forget the 1986 Superbowl Championship when Phil Simms’ New York Giants defeated John Elway’s Denver Broncos. I was as proud as punch because my Dad had coached one of the Giants’ players when he was in high school—middle linebacker Gary Reasons.

It’s because I’m doing what I never thought I’d do. I’m withdrawing from caffeine.
