I've had a chance to interview the Packer's Aaron Kampman a few times back when he was an Iowa Hawkeye and I've come to know and like him as a man, father, and follower of Christ. Aaron and I had a good conversation last summer about my leaving TV to go to seminary. He asked me a lot of questions and he told me about his theology degree he recently earned as well. He has a very grounded understanding of faith. I'm not surprized to see what he told ESPN about the late Coach Ed Thomas, who was tragedically shot today. "Coach Thomas was very special to me and many other young men from the Aplington-Parkersburg communities," Kampman said in a statement. "His legacy for many will be associated with his tremendous success as a football coach. However, I believe his greatest legacy comes not in how many football games he won or lost but in the fact that he was a committed follower of Jesus Christ. He lived his life trying to exemplify this faith and convey those values to those under his influence."
