Super Bowl hero warns of 'anarchy' if NY approves gay marriage
(CNN) -- Former New York Giants receiver David Tyree's celebrated catch in the closing seconds of Super Bowl XLII was pivotal to his team's victory. Now out of football, he is trying to claim a last-minute win over another foe -- same-sex marriage.

On the same day that the New York State Assembly approved a same-sex marriage bill, Tyree warned of dire consequences if the legislation becomes law.

The bill's passage would "be the beginning of our country sliding toward ... anarchy," he said

Tyree made the comments in a video released Wednesday by the National Organization for Marriage, which is spearheading opposition to the bill. The legislation must now clear the Republican-controlled State Senate where its fate is uncertain.

3. He is not in football anymore. I noticed that Michael Strahan has come out
in support of the same-sex marriage.

6. He is in the closet
Actually, marriage and anarchism are kind of incompatable.

Just another dumbass jock.
