Zak DeOssie remembers waiting on a corner in North Andover, Massachusetts, for the school bus to come on that Monday morning and bring him to another day of first grade. His buddy from next door, Sean Phelan, met him there as usual.
“I said: ‘Hey, my dad won the Super Bowl last night,’ ” DeOssie recalled of the conversation between six-year-olds. “And he said: ‘Oh. Cool. Want to go climb this tree?’ That was the extent of the celebration outside of the house.”
It’s every football player’s dream to play in the NFL and win a Super Bowl.
