2008’s Grand Marshal Helps Send NY Giants to the Super Bowl

Lawrence Tynes

Congratulations to Lawrence Tynes, kicker with the New York Giants – and Grand Marshal in 2008’s Tartan Day Parade!

“In a season of remarkable comebacks, the Giants crafted one more. Lawrence Tynes, who kicked an overtime field goal to send the Giants to the 2008 Super Bowl, booted a 31-yard field goal — off a soggy field, with a bad snap, into a heavy mist — 7 minutes 54 seconds into overtime to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17, and create a delicious symmetry.”  –  “Field Goal by Tynes in Overtime Sets Up a Rematch in the Super Bowl,” New York Times, Jan. 22, 2012.

The Tartan Week Committee applauds your success, and wishes you even more in the Super Bowl.
