Tony Gonzalez, Superman

Tony Gonzalez, Superman

Tony Gonzalez has had the nickname “Superman” for quite awhile, but he truly earned it today.

With no formal training and no camera crews staging the moment, he saved a choking man’s life by performing the Heimlich when no one else in the restaurant knew what to do.

Publicity stunt? Who knows. He says he didn’t mention it to anyone until it got in the news and people started asking, and he certainly doesn’t have a history of calling attention to himself (he’s a far cry from Terrell Owens), so hopefully this is really a genuine feel-good story
