3MEMORABLE THANKSGIVINGDAY FOOTBALL PLAYS
With the score tied at 6-6 in the fourth quarter, Taylor intercepted the ball from the Lions quarterback, Gary Danielson, and ran it 97 yards for a touchdown.
LEON LETT
The Miami Dolphins were up against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in 1993. This game was marked by its strange weather: Snow covered the field in Dallas, and temperatures reached only 26 degrees F. But that wasn’t what made the game memorable. In the last 15 seconds of the game, the Cowboys blocked the Dolphins’ last 40-yard field goal attempt. As the ball was rolling on the ground, Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett dove for it but slipped and missed. The Dolphins recovered the ball and were given the chance to kick another field goal at the 1-yard line. The attempt was successful, and they won the game.
Thanksgiving is all about good food, family, and football. Each year, football fans look forward to sitting down and watching the game with their family, regardless of whether or not their team is playing. While many games have been played over the years, some stand out more than others because of some major players and their quick actions. Here are three individuals who made their Thanksgiving Day games ones to remember.
PHIL LUCKETT
One of the most memorable moments during a Thanksgiving game took place in 1998, when the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions entered overtime in a 16-16 tie. Referee Phil Luckett oversaw the coin toss, and that’s when things became tense. Steelers running back Jerome Bettis appeared to call tails, but Luckett said, “Heads is the call.” Upon review later, officials discovered that Bettis changed his mind mid-toss and had indeed called heads first. The Lions got first possession and scored a field goal to win the game.
LAWRENCE TAYLOR
New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was said to have “single- handedly” beat the Detroit Lions in this memorable 1982 Thanksgiving Day matchup. The game was only the fourth of the season for Taylor, who had just recovered from a sprained knee injury suffered in a previous game.
WANT TO GIVE YOUR BUSINESS’S MARKETING A BOOST? OUR PRODUCTS CAN HELP — AND SO CAN MULTITOUCH SOLUTIONS
What do fireplaces, spas, pools, and grills have in common? On one hand, they’re the ingredients of a relaxing weekend. But they’re also products and services marketed by Lynnpro client MultiTouch Solutions. MultiTouch offers an automated email nurturing system and CRM for small- and medium-sized businesses all over the world. For the last seven months, they’ve used Lynnpro products to spread the word about their work. “Liz is my main point of contact, and she is great,” says David Diamond, MultiTouch’s Director of Sales, referencing sales rep Liz Holland. “She helps me with design, pricing, and giving me realistic expectations of production and delivery times.” MultiTouch hands out Lynnpro’s shirts, sweatshirts, and towels to its team members and sells them to clients. They’ve gone over so well that David brought us on board to help with his side gig — coaching the Mokena Blaze baseball team. Mokena Blaze’s 12-year-old players, including David’s son, are the real deal. They’re ranked 10th in the state of Illinois!
“Liz has done mockups, and we’ve ordered some custom sweatshirts. They’re personalized with the logo and the player’s name. I found the pricing to be as good or better than online places, and using Lynnpro, you get personal service from Liz and Jeff,” David explains. Personal service is really important to David because it’s one of the main tenets of MultiTouch. As the Director of Sales, David handles accounts in England, Whales, France, the U.S., and Canada. He’s available whenever his clients need him, regardless of the time zone. “One of my customers in Washington state actually called me up at like 10:30 p.m. Chicago time on a Friday night because he was having a software issue,” David says. “The reason why I like working with Lynnpro is the personal service and the competitive prices. That’s what my company offers, too, so I really value that.” We love working with David because both of our companies help small businesses succeed!
