  • Grandich Comes out in Support of David Tyree
    Peter Grandich, Managing Member Office Location: 2431 Atlantic Ave, Manasquan (Wall), NJ [email protected] Mailing Address P.O. Box 245, Perrineville, NJ 08535 DATE: June 20, 2011 CONTACT: Peter Grandich Phone 732-642-3992 [email protected] Grandich comes out in support of David Tyree WALL, NJ - This is America, the birthplace of freedom in the modern world; where freedom of speech is not just guaranteed, it is one of the foundations upon which our country was established. In the U.S.A., everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Except, it seems, for 2008 Super Bowl sensation David Tyree. In an online video posted June 15, Tyree made some gutsy statements about his views of gay marriage, and has since taken a beating in the media for it. Tyree, the former NY Giant whose “Helmet Catch” was the defining moment of Super Bowl XLII and one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, recorded the video because he opposes the notion of gay marriage, and says he’s simply voicing his opinion. “I am not political,” he says in the video. “I believe there is right and wrong. I think many things are subjective, but truth is not. Marriage [among a man and woman] is the backbone of our society.” In response to the negative avalanche of comments published about Tyree and the video, market commentator Peter Grandich has come out in his defense. Grandich, managing member of Trinity Financial Sports & Entertainment Co., blogged on his internationally-followed social and economic blog Grandich.com that he supports Tyree and agrees with his conservative stance.

  • Super Bowl Catch
    Chapter 1 SUPER BOWL CATCH y family and I sat in our living room watching M Super Bowl XLII, the New York Giants versus the undefeated New England Patriots. As a Jets fan I nor- mally wouldn’t have paid much attention to the game. Like most Americans, I would have enjoyed the commer- cials, hoped for some good competition, and then moved on with life. But this Super Bowl was different. God had told us in advance that something special would happen. And my wife, Vicki, and I felt a witness in our spirits that “the moment” was just about to arrive. Through a series of divinely orchestrated events, months earlier I had given a word from God to one of the New York Giants players. At that point the team’s season was going down the tubes, and this particular player was injured and had just undergone surgery. Nothing seemed less likely than the word coming true. Now we were watching the scrappy Giants give the fearsome Patriots a serious challenge. “What’s going to happen, Lord? What will the moment look like? When will it happen?” I kept wondering. We were sure the word would be fulfilled—but we had no idea how or when. 9 Synn-WanderingProphet.indd 9 4/9/15 10:06 AM THE TALES OF A Wandering PROPHET The story had started the previous summer when I gave up a lucrative job as a CFO in the fashion industry in obe- dience to God. Our finances were suddenly falling short, and I began working as a certified public accountant with a financial advisor in Staten Island.
