Tecmo Super Bowl's Andre Tippett

Yeah that's right the greatest game ever made! Forget Madden or EA sports. Tecmo Super Bowl was the bomb and I doubt we will ever see another football game even in its league. I mean that is how I started learning the football players names. How amazing was the Warren Moon to Haywood Jeffries combination? How unstoppable was Bo Jackson?

Another player you might remember from that game is Andre Tippet. Tippet was 5-time pro bowler for the New England Patriots who was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2008. Currently, he works as the Patriots' Executive Director of Community Affairs.

In 1997 he married his wife Rhonda Kenney and coverted to Judaism. “I wanted to keep the family as one from a religious standpoint,” Tippett said in a 1998 interview on the Web site jewishsports.com. “I thought it would be great to convert to Judaism and have a Jewish home.”

Tippett was inducted into the National Jewish Hall of Fame in 2009.

Its really cool that Tippett has converted to the Jewish team. I wouldn't mind more Hall of Famers celebrating Hanukkah with us. Imagine some of the players from Tecmo Super Bowl who could join me at my seder...Thurman Thomas, Mark Duper or even QB Eagles.
