It's been a little while since I posted, as (being a teacher) I've found myself fairly focused with all of the many things we teachers do in closing out the school year. I just found this and saw it for the first time ... and thought in light of Father's Day coming up on Sunday, this would be perfect to share here.
This video is unlike most things we see, discuss, etc. here at Seahawks.net. It does cover the Largent-Harden experience ... but this is a very human ... very personal side of Steve Largent and of football.
For me (and for many of us who are around or over the age of 40), Steve Largent was our hero growing up. He was certainly my hero. He was the Russell Wilson of his day for this Seahawks team and the entire greater Pacific Northwest and then some.
Steve Largent was so unbelievably influential in my life. In so many ways, he helped set the pattern of how I approached (and still do to this day approach) sports, faith, life, and family. In the words of the late great Pete Gross: "He [Steve Largent] is not only a Hall of Fame football player, he is a Hall of Fame human being -- a Hall of Fame father -- a Hall of Fame husband. And these are the things that I think are important to Steve Largent as he goes through life. People will remember him for his football here in the Seattle area, but I think even more remember him as a human being."
For those of you especially out there who never had a father ... or whom had fathers who were real bad/negative examples in your own lives -- this video is definitely for you. Steve Largent is a living testimony to the fact that who you are ... how you live your life ... and what you ultimately become IS NOT defined and destined by the family you come from, the wrongs done to you, or even the past sins you may have committed.
With all of that said, I wish all of the Fathers out there a very Happy Fathers Day. Enjoy Steve Largent: A Football Life ...
