It must be a real thrill not only to play in 2 Super Bowls but to do it with two different teams makes it extra special. Then to be able to have Peyton Manning as your quarterback really makes it special.
When Jacob Tamme was making a name for himself at Boyle County High School, Sarah Jane Tamme admits she wasn’t all that aware of what her older brother was doing.
“I can look at his stats now, but during his high school career, I was still a little kid and didn’t fully understand or appreciate the game,” Tamme said. “The only big memory I have is finding out he broke his leg during a game his sophomore year. He had a full-leg cast, and I wrote him a pretty cute card that’s still in his room at home (in Danville).”
Of course, she fully understands now what her brother has done as he prepares to play in his second Super Bowl when his Denver Broncos take on Seattle on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.
“I will be there, probably wearing about 10 layers of clothing,” she said. “But I will be there no matter what, cheering and soaking it all in.”
She did the same thing in Denver when the Broncos beat New England in the AFC championship game and Jacob Tamme had a 1-yard touchdown catch.
“I didn’t get to make it to his first AFC championship game (when he was with Indianapolis), so the opportunity to go this year was exciting enough. His touchdown was an added bonus,” she said. “I don’t think anyone was really expecting that, so we were all going a little crazy. We know how hard he works and how much he deserves it..
