Welcome into the Sports Spectrum podcast, where we bring Jesus into the Sports

Conversation.

Here's your host for today, Jason Romano.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to Sports Spectrum here at Super Bowl 57 in Phoenix, Arizona. I am Jason Romano. We got the Eagles. We got the Chiefs. They're coming up on Sunday in the big game. And being here at the Super Bowl is really a privilege. The NFL allows us to be on a thing called Media Row, Radio Row, with hundreds of other media entities, the biggest ones around that you

would know, including Fox Sports and CBS and all of these big name media companies.

And Sports Spectrum has a table and has a place right here in the middle of Radio Row and

gets to be down here and talk to all sorts of different people about Jesus and about the Super Bowl.

And whenever I can get a chance to talk to a pro football Hall of Famer, I'm saying yes, especially one who loves Jesus.

And this guy was once considered the greatest wide receiver in the NFL until a guy named Jerry Rice came

along. But Steve Largett is a pro football hall of famer. He's spent his entire career,

basically, with the Seahawks, 1976 to 1989. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame. A few years

after he retired in 1995, he retired in 1989. He was a seven-time

pro bowler. He was the NFL man of the year in 1988. His number 80 is retired by the Seahawks,

and he's in the Seahawks Ring of Honor. He finished his career with 800 plus receptions,

13,000 receiving yards and 100 touchdowns in an era when receivers

weren't catching 120 balls and 1,500 yards and 17 touchdowns. It was a different era when he

played and yet he was awesome. He had 8 1,000-yard seasons in his 14-year career

and then went on after he retired into a very successful political career,

which he'll talk about.

Steve Largent is a devout follower of Jesus,

and we talk about that as well as he represents the Pro football Hall of Fame, the NFL, the Super Bowl,
