A Super Bowl Moment Brings Heartache and Relief

In the Moment with David Greene - A podcast by Religion of Sports | PRX - Tuesdays

On February 1, 2009, the Arizona Cardinals faced off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII. For Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, this was the moment to cement his legacy. For Steelers safety Ryan Clark, it was the end of a yearlong battle with an illness that nearly killed him. The game had two moments that brought both of these athletes to their highest and lowest points. We look at the game from both sides of the field, and hear why this Super Bowl caused “heartache” and “relief.” Find out about upcoming guests and other news by following Religion of Sports on Twitter or Instagram.
