During the 1996 NFL Hall of Fame festivities the Fellowship of Christian Athletes held an event at the Canton, OH First Church of the Nazarene. Our son, Tim, was invited to speak. Other speakers were Mel Blount of the Pittsburg Steelers and Sam Rutigliano who was head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1978 to 1984, and head football coach at Liberty University from 1989 to 1999. I came across a cassette tape of the FCA event last year while we were sorting through belongings during the sale of our house and move to Florida. So here it is. I believe it is the best speech ever given by an athlete.
