Everybody Loves a Backup Hero

The New York Giants outlasted the Green Bay Packers last night, relying on the arm of backup QB Tommy DeVito. The little known backup is becoming a cult figure in New York and Doug is all about it! He’s exactly the kind of underdog story that sports fans love to see. Doug and the crew talk about DeVito and how he compares to other backups who have led their teams to glory.

Doug Gottlieb: “I’m infatuated with the (Tommy) DeVito story...(it) is really, really cool...the backup quarterback thing, where we fall in love with a guy and we want to believe so badly that guy is the real thing.”
