Let's take a break from politics and talk football
It was a busy week on the impeachment front, so I’m all out of fresh (and hostile) takes on the sorry state of American politics. The good news is that I’ve got something much more uplifting: My interview with Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Steve Young.
Seriously, this was a terrific conversation. After dispensing with some perfunctory talk about Sunday’s game, we turned our attention to even more interesting topics, including Young’s battle with anxiety--and how faith informs his life.
We also discussed how Donald Trump killed the USFL, how famed author Stephen Covey helped Young overcome his anger and disappointment over being cast as Joe Montana’s backup, and whether he might one day run for political office. (I also asked him whether Joe Montana was mean to him.)
If you enjoy this conversation with Steve Young as much as I did, I urge you to help support this kind of content. You can do that by rating and reviewing the podcast on iTunes, and by supporting us at Patreon.
Enjoy the big game, and (don’t tell Steve I said this!), go Chiefs!
