Packers Give Ball To Tynes

After kicking the winning field goal in overtime, Lawrence Tynes was rewarded with a nice surprise for the plane ride home - the ball he kicked 47 yards to send the Giants to the Super Bowl.

Gordon “Red” Batty, head equipment manager for the Green Bay Packers, waited for an hour after the game to meet with a Giants equipment manager to deliver the ball safely to Tynes.

Batty knows the significance of history-making game balls. Throughout his 14 years with the Packers, Batty has retrieved many important mementos for quarterback Brett Favre and knew that Tynes and the Giants organization would appreciate the gift.

“That’s a part of their history, and I wanted to make sure they had that ball,” Batty said.

“It’s the way the Packers would want it done.”

That's cool that he did that.

A lot of organizations *coughcowboyscough* would have been so bitter over the loss that they would have burned the ball, not given it to Tynes!
