SUPER BOWL XLV

My favorite memory from the Super Bowl as far as before or after the game came directly afterwards. We were up on stage -- myself, Mike [McCarthy], Ted [Thompson], Mark Murphy -- and after that we all went in different directions and scattered. There was a point -- after ESPN and NFL Network, my postgame press conference, and being in the locker room with the guys for a couple minutes -- that I came back on the field, and I saw my family, who had all gotten down onto the field at that point. It was my mom, my dad, my two brothers and my grandparents, and they'd all gotten down onto the field. That was a really special moment, because my grandparents, who are both late 70s, early 80s, had driven all the way from California in the rough weather and had made it out there. Grandma and Grandpa don't fly, but they'd made it all the way out there and they had been a big part of my life since I was a young person. To have them on the field, and my two brothers and my parents, and to take some really special photos there, it was a great memory because it was such a whirlwind in those first 45 minutes after the Super Bowl. To have that moment and to be able to enjoy it with my family and my grandparents, the most important people in my life, that was a special moment for me. We only got two on-field passes for postgame, and I wondered about who was going to come down. The plan was for my two brothers to come down, because my parents were just going to stay with my grandparents. So I was looking for them during my time running around the field initially, but thankfully I was able to run right into them about 45 minutes after the game and all six of them were on the field, so that was a special, unexpected moment for us.
