Come visit my new Cafe at www.bittersweetcafes.com On Dec. 11: TODAY hosts Matt Lauer, Anne curry talk to scuba divers Patrick Walsh and Paul Damgaard about how they survived when a great white shark burst into their protective cage.

A great white shark gulps down a hunk of bait, then plows snout-first through the cages viewing aperture as the two men inside the cage try to avoid becoming its next course. But actually being inside the cage was even more terrifying, the men who took the popular YouTube video confirmed Thursday to TODAYs Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira in New York. I knew it was not going to be good, said Paul Damgaard. I definitely thought it was over, added Pat Walsh, the second man in the shark cage. Two points of view But even with a 15-foot, 2-ton great white with gaping jaws tearing the cage apart within inches of their heads, Damgaard and Walsh kept their video cameras rolling. Walshs video, taken from just to the right of the sharks massive head, is the one that has been viewed by more than 800000 people on YouTube.

Arsene Wenger spotted Patrick Vieira playing for AC Milan as a substitute and was blown away by the power and skill he possessed. When asked to sign for Arsenal, Vieira couldn't refuse. He immediately became a dominating force in England. Not known for his goals, Vieira is a catalyst for holding midfielders today. At 6'4, he is tall enough to win any header in the midfield. His great tackling ability and his will to win also made him one of the greatest ever. That will to win is what gave him the honor of playing as Arsenal's captain. Not only was he strong, but had immaculate vision and passing, especially for his role. Patrick Vieira transformed the holding midfielder role forever and is an Arsenal legend.
