Tampa Bay Bucs kicker Matt Bryant tragically lost his infant son Matthew Tryson this past week. In fact, the funeral was only yesterday. Thus, I can’t even imagine what he must have been going through to not only show up for work today but to score 12 points (three field goals and three extra points) to emotionally and literally lead the Bucs to a 30-21 win over the Packers. After the game, Matt was obviously emotional but willing to talk about his feelings:
“I wanted to go out and honor Tryson’s name. I didn’t think that it was very fair that his life was so short. This is the best way I believed I could get out and honor him. I miss him and I wish he was here. He was here and he helped out.
My heart and thoughts and prayers go out to Matt, his wife Melissa and the entire Bryant family. If you are able to make a donation, please do so in Tryson’s name to the March of Dimes, 405 North Reo Street, Suite 105, Tampa, FL 33609. For more information, please call (813) 287-2600.
