In that moment I made sure the first thing I did was say “Thank you” to this person for what they had done for me. Now many felt I was thanking him for orchestrating a Super Bowl win, or making my passes fly straighter or causing my opponents to make more mistakes.
But those people had it all wrong.
The gesture was my way of acknowledging how fortunate I considered myself for the moments he had given me. Thanking him for the trials which prepared me for this platform. For showing me that, with him, the impossible becomes possible. And for choosing me as the lead in this once-in-a-lifetime role.”
Now, love it or hate it, that opening scene captured the imagination of the sports world, and the words became the heart of my story. The rest, as they say, is history. Bringing us to this: the famous last words. And the only place this extraordinary journey can end. His final moment was for me, mine is for him. Thank you Jesus.”
