After the last Jets-Patriots game, New York linebacker Bart Scott famously proclaimed that he “Can’t Wait!” for the AFC title game against the Steelers.
Scott’s WWE-style rant resonated with football fans, and Scott parlayed that into the sale of T-shirts bearing the “Can’t Wait!” message.
Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, the man who was holding the microphone when Scott provided his two-word quote for the ages, reports that Scott has donated $36,000 to former Rutgers player Eric LeGrand, who suffered a severe spinal cord injury while playing for the Scarlet Knights in 2010.
