Woodbury\’s Bryant McKinnie finally reaches football\’s biggest game | NJ.com

Bryant McKinnie has had a lot of ups and downs in his football career since graduating from Woodbury High School in 1997.

But this Sunday night it will all be worth it as the 11th-year offensive tackle will play in football’s biggest game, Super Bowl XLVII.

\”It was a long journey,\” he said of finally making it to the Super Bowl. \”I was just patient and waited my turn, and I finally got my turn.\”

Originally a defensive tackle, McKinnie started his college career at Lackawanna Junior College (Scranton, Pa.). After only starting to play organized football as a junior in high school, McKinnie put on extra weight while in Scranton and made the transition to the offensive line — and his career took off.

He played in the junior college all-star bowl game as a freshman and went on to be named an All-American. He transferred to the University of Miami in 1999, and after redshirting for a year, he went on to be an All-American the next two seasons and won the Jim Parker Award (best college offensive lineman) and Outland Trophy (best interior lineman) in 2001.

ED KOCH, R.I.P.

\"EdwardEdward I. Koch, mayor of New York City, sports a sailor\’s cap at the commissioning ceremony for the guided missile cruiser USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN (CG 57). Location: NEW YORK, NEW YORK (NY) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

February 1, 2013

Catholic League\’s Bill Donohue comments on the death of former New York City Mayor Ed Koch:
 
In the early 1970s, when I was having a problem with the Veterans Bureau obtaining my GI Bill money, I contacted my congressman, Rep. Ed Koch. The next week, the check was sent. When I taught in Spanish Harlem in a Catholic elementary school in the 1970s, at my behest, my students wrote to Rep. Koch about some issues. They were shocked when they received a speedy and thoughtful reply.
 
I got to know Ed Koch on a personal level 20 years ago. We met and corresponded many times over the years, and he was always cordial, courageous, and totally honest. Ed was not only a man of conviction, he was the number-one person in the Jewish community that Catholics could count on to speak out against anti-Catholicism. Indeed, he hated anti-Catholicism as much as he did anti-Semitism, or any other kind of bigotry. His relationship with the late John Cardinal O’Connor was special, and their mutual affection was palpable.
 
Ed Koch will be missed. There was no one like him.
