| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, today on Sports Spectrum, I'm really excited about our conversation with Cody Davis, |
| 0:05.6 | former NFL defensive back, who just retired after this past season. |
| 0:12.4 | We got to catch up with him right before the season started and talk to him about what it's |
| 0:17.3 | like to be a retired NFL player and no longer a current NFL player. |
| 0:22.6 | I love this conversation with Cody and it's coming up in just a moment here on the show. |

| 1:18.6 | local Christian school in Minnesota, and they take the Sports Spectrum magazine. They order a |
| 1:26.5 | bulk subscription, and they go through |
| 1:28.8 | the devotionals in our magazine with their students. This is probably third, fourth, fifth grade. |
| 1:34.3 | And I thought, what a neat way to utilize Sports Spectrums magazine and really help kids grow in |
| 1:42.8 | their faith and certainly read about the sports stories |
| 1:45.6 | that are happening in the world |
