Here is a story from CNBC's Darren Rovell about David Tyree signing an autograph deal.
Why not? He deserves it. He's just . . . using his head!
Speaking of Tyree, I forgot in the course of writing two positive reviews of Fox's Super Bowl coverage to mention that it was strange Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Pam Oliver all failed to mention even in passing the recent death of Tyree's mother, which added to the drama.
Here is my Friday newspaper column on the business impact of the Giants' victory last weekend.

Hey, Ralph Branca and Bobby Thomspson spent the last 50 years signing autographs and making guest appearances everywhere because of one play. Good for Tyree, though he does make some good money after getting a good extension after going to Pro Bowl for ST a few years ago.
Another interesting tidbit:
Dan Patrick mentioned that at a restaurant in Glendale he overheard a conversation with Tyree with some other guy and heard Tyree say, "I'm not a wide reciever, I'm a special teams player.". The rest is history.
