Avert your eyes, Patriots fans ... here it is again. (Getty Images)

LostLettermen.com, the college sports fan site and ex-player database, regularly contributes to Shutdown Corner. Here's a look at the current whereabouts of former Super Bowl hero David Tyree.

If it feels like David Tyree's helmet catch to propel the New York Giants over the New England Patriots in 2008's Super Bowl XLII happened just yesterday, it's probably because you've seen the replay of the greatest catch in Super Bowl history more times than you care to remember.

And with the Giants and Patriots set for a rematch on Sunday, Tyree is embarking on a second round of his 15 minutes of fame. That includes more endless replays of "The Catch" and a trip to Indianapolis, where he'll be doing appearances and interviews leading up to the game and may even have a cameo on NBC's Super Bowl pregame show with Bob Costas.

Speaking earlier this week, Tyree admits he still hasn't fully grasped the enormity of that moment and how it's forever altered his life.

"There's still some aspects of it that I'm still taking in, to be honest with you," Tyree said. "Just because it's four years later now and obviously everybody's reliving that amazing moment. So for me, more than anything, it's humbling and I just do my best and have fun with it and present it to everybody so they can enjoy it as well."

While many people are still trying to comprehend how Tyree hung on to the ball, the deeply religious, born-again Christian has his explanation: Divine intervention.

Why Tyree of all people to become a Super Bowl hero?

"There's a scripture that says, 'God choses the low things of the world to put to shame the wise,'" said Tyree, paraphrasing a Bible verse. "I'm the least likely guy, the least likely candidate to make that play, to be in position to have any impact in the Super Bowl."

And what an impact he had.

On top of a touchdown catch earlier in the game, that 32-yard bomb helped set up the Giants' winning touchdown in the final minute. Amazingly, that was Tyree's final NFL catch. Ever. After sitting out the entire 2008 season due to injury, he was cut by the Giants before the 2009 season and played just 10 games for the Baltimore Ravens that fall before calling it quits for good.

Still just 32 years old, Tyree now lives outside New York City with his wife and six children in Wayne, N.J., where he stays busy with his home-schooled kids and philanthropy projects like Carter's Kids, a charity for underprivileged youth run by Tyree's former Giants teammate, Tim Carter. Tyree credits the catch and the fame that came with it for helping him spread his charitable efforts.

Homeowners across America have drastically sliced the prices of their homes in an attempt to sell in this sluggish economy, and that now includes NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana.

For a cool $35 million, this can be yours.The difference between Montana and the rest of American homeowners looking to sell (aside from his four Super Bowl rings)? After reducing the price, his home outside San Francisco will still cost you $35 million after Montana originally tried to sell it for $49 million (get it?) in 2009.

If you think you might be interested in the property, you can see a full series of pictures here.

Located in Calistoga, Calif., the home includes three bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, nearly 10,000-square feet, 500 acres of land, a pool, a bocce court, an olive farm, a skeet-shooting range, a full-sized basketball court and an equestrian stable.

A nice view ... at a discounted price!Not bad considering this was Montana's vacation home while he wasn't in Southern California, where he and his wife Jennifer reside just outside Los Angeles.

Montana, of course, is best known as one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time -- he was an eight-time Pro Bowler with the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. He now owns his own wine label, Montagia, and has four children — two are currently playing college football.

Eddie George as Julius Caesar (Nashville Shakespeare Festival/Photo by Jeff Frazier)

LostLettermen.com, the college sports fan site and player database, regularly contributes to Shutdown Corner. Here's a look at the current whereabouts of former Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George.

Eddie George is commonly described as a Renaissance Man for his various interests away from the football field.

His next venture takes that to a whole new level.

Starting Thursday, George will play Julius Caesar in the Nashville Shakespeare Festival that runs until Jan. 29 at local Belmont University. For cynics that believe this will turn out like the infamous 1991 action film "Stone Cold" starring ex-NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth, think again.

"I'm not fresh off the football field and jumping into theater for a publicity stunt. This is something that I take very serious, that I've taken very serious and I've been focusing on since my playing days have been done," said George, who retired after the 2004 season.

He has trained with acting coaches for years for this moment and performed in several local plays before. He even has his own acting troupe in Nashville, where he is still beloved for leading the Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000.

And now the man who transformed from a fumbling freshman at Ohio State into a four-time Pro Bowler has taken his legendary work ethic to the stage and this lead role.

George regards theater as the "training camp" of acting where hopeful thespians learn the fundamentals of the profession.

"I looked at the greatest actors that have performed and they all have one thing in common and that is theater," George said. "Whether that is Denzel Washington to Al Pacino [or] Robert De Niro."

Check out George's description of preparing for roles.

"[It's] not just reading a script for the words, that's just the tip of the iceberg," he said. "There's just so much work. It's like you're investigating this character, you're doing so much research about the character and understanding him on a soul level and understanding the intention… You may have five words that you're going to say, but it's going to come from a foundation."

Yes, George caught the acting bug. That's why he has carved out time to pursue it on top of getting his MBA from Northwestern, starting his own restaurant, launching a company that promotes fitness and co-founding another in landscape architecture.

Jim Weber runs Lost Lettermen, devoted to keeping tabs on former college athletes and other nostalgia. This week, he catches up with Stanford mascots past and present.

Usually, the first reaction to Stanford's unofficial tree mascot is confusion. What does a tree have to do with Stanford, or its mascot?

A lot more than you might think. The town of Palo Alto, Calif., home to the university, is actually named after a local redwood tree that stands over 100 feet tall and is believed to be over 1,000 years old. It was discovered by Spanish explorers in the 1700s and named "El Palo Alto" — "The Tall Stick." After the school dropped the longstanding nickname "Indians" in 1972, it held a contest three years later for a new school mascot. Students eventually adopted the nickname "Cardinal" (as in the color, not the bird) and Stanford adopted the tree as part of its new logo. The mascot soon followed, beating out a steaming manhole and a giant french fry, among other candidates.

But that hasn't

Making the leap from a school like the University of Albany to pro football is hard enough. Now imagine trying to do it one-handed.

That's the dream of Eddie Delaney, a defensive end at the FCS program who was born without a left hand.

"It's something that I guess always was an acceptance from the time I was born, it's just who I was and a part of my life," Delaney said on Wednesday. "And I definitely owe that to my parents because I was raised no differently than anyone else."

Growing up on Long Island, Delaney wanted to play Division I football so badly that he and his dad walked into the office of Albany coach Bob Ford five years ago in hopes of playing for the Great Danes despite not being recruited by them. A lot's changed since then.

If you had to guess which former NFL offensive lineman is now trying to become a rock star, Kyle Turley would probably be near the top of your list.

He's the free-spirited, heavily tattooed, straight-talking tough guy who's still best known for ripping the helmet off a defensive player and chucking it across the field nearly 10 years ago to the day while protecting his quarterback.

"Well, you know, that one's gonna stick," Turley said earlier this week from New Orleans, where he is touring. "That'll stay forever, man. So it ain't goin' nowhere. And I ain't goin' nowhere either, man. I don't run from

Jim Weber runs Lost Lettermen, devoted to keeping tabs on former college athletes and other nostalgia. This week, he caught up — briefly — with the man behind "Occupy Herbstreit."

The "Occupy Wall Street" movement protesting economic inequality and corporate greed, now entering its second month, has become a comedic gold mine: It's already been parodied on "Saturday Night Live" and spawned the hilarious "Occupy Sesame Street" spinoff, which claims "99 percent of cookies are consumed by 1 percent of monsters."

Now college football fans are getting in on a little gridiron-infused fun with "Occupy Herbstreit."

Named for former Ohio State quarterback and current ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, the site spread like wildfire across the blogosphere almost immediately after it debuted last week with pictures of a man amid the Wall Street crowds hiding behind signs that simultaneously poke fun at college football and the economy; they look like they belong behind the set of ESPN's "College

Father-son quarterback duos are nothing new to pro football.

Look no further than the Mannings (brothers Peyton and Eli and father Archie), the Simms (Chris and Phil), the Grieses (Brian and  Bob) and coming soon, the Lucks (Stanford quarterback Andrew and his dad, Oliver).

But a father-daughter combination of former Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien and his little girl, Angela, who is now the starting quarterback for the Lingerie Football League's Seattle Mist?

Well, that's a little more unusual.
