Ex-NFL star Tyler delivers stirring pregame motivation speech

| | Comments (0) |

Former NFL great Wendell Tyler, father of Oaks' star RB Marc Tyler, works as an Oaks assistant, and among his duties is to deliver a pregame speech.

The elder Tyler pulled out all the stops tonight.

"I just told them the truth: Great teams win big games. Great teams play with confidence. Great teams don't make mistakes under pressure," Tyler said. "Then I told them: 'The question is, are you a great team?'"

At that moment, Tyler peeled off his shirt to reveal a St. Bonaventure t-shirt underneath, and the Oaks players ripped it off his body and head out the locker-room door.
