My name is Giff Nielson. I am the sports director for Channel 11. It is the CBS affiliate here in Houston, Texas, and have been doing this, if you can believe this, for over 24 years. I got interested in sports when I was just a young boy growing up in Provo, Utah. We all had dreams that we wanted to be professional athletes someday. We always used to put ourselves in a situation where it was the last out of the World Series, or the clock was winding down in the Super Bowl, or we had to hit the winning basket with four seconds left to go in the NBA championship. And I think back of those experiences and I think I was such a lucky young man. I first realized that there was a possibility that I was going to be a professional athlete when I was playing at Brigham Young University. It was an incredible run of quarterbacks at BYU starting really with, as far as the All-American quarterback, starting with me and the succession of All-American quarterbacks following me. Sure enough my dreams as a young boy growing up in Provo, Utah, came true as I was drafted in the third round by the Houston Oilers in 1978, came down here and played six years with the Oilers and just had an incredible time. Family has always been so important to me. In our particular case the Lord blessed us with six incredible children, two girls, two boys, a girl, and a boy. And we just feel so fortunate. And now we have nine grandchildren. Families are supposed to be grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ, number one, number two, learn to serve, learn to understand about life's choicest lessons, and then have some fun and enjoy life. If you can't enjoy life, what are we here for? My membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is obviously so important to me. And as a member of the Church it helps me through some of the issues that I have to deal with every day. There is a peace and a joy and a happiness through a deep spiritual connection with my Savior that I cannot get anywhere else. I've played in stadiums with 70,000 to 80,000 people, and won tremendous games, and played well. And people have patted me on the back. And it's an exhilarating feeling; I will never deny that. But it doesn't compare, doesn't compare a bit, to the quiet solitude of my relationship with the Savior and what that means to me.
