QB to perform in front cheap NFL Jerseys of mike

Former Cougars quarterback Mark Rypien may have been the MVP of Super Bowl XXVI, but that won't prevent pregame jitters tomorrow night.

Rypien hasn't put on a helmet since 2002, but tomorrow he will put on a microphone and be the color commentator for the first time on live TV. The rookie color man's anxiety is diminished somewhat by being paired with a veteran former "voice of the Seahawks" Brian Davis.

"He's so good at leading you into something," said Rypien, who worked a tape delayed telecast with Davis last week when the Cougars lost to Colorado in Seattle.

Rypien, 41, lives in his native Spokane, where he was a three sport star at Shadle Park High School. He got national attention as a Super Bowl hero and later got nationwide sympathy in 1998 when he lost his 3 year old Elite Nike NFL Jerseys son, Andrew, to cancer.

Ambre, 15, is a junior at Gonzaga Prep with a gift for singing. Angela, 13, is in middle Cheap Jerseys school and has done modeling, some of it at a training school in Europe. Both were involved in a recent softball tournament in Andrew's memory.

Rypien was a sixth round NFL draft choice in 1986 and led the Redskins past the Buffalo Bills 37 24 in Super Bowl XXVI. He later played for Cleveland (1994), St. Louis (1995, 1997), Philadelphia (1996) and Indianapolis (2001). He was in the Seahawks camp in 2002, appeared to have survived the final cut, then was released days before the opener.

During his NFL career, Rypien was voted to two Pro Bowls and completed 1,466 of 2,613 NFL passes for 18,473 Wholesale Basketball Jerseys yards, with 115 touchdowns and 88 interceptions.

During his 2002 camp with the Seahawks, Rypien played in two preseason games and said after one of them, "I felt like a Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shippin kid again. I want to take a line from 'The Natural,' where Roy Hobbs said, 'God, I Jerseys Outlet love baseball.' I think the same goes for football. It was nice to be out there."
