San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I heard his interview with Tom Tolbert on KNBR here in the Bay Area. That was yesterday and I'm still trying to process it. Spielman is an extraordinary person as was his wife. He spent a great deal of time talking about parenting an he brings the same intensity to "civilian life" as he did to the football field. Hopefully I can recount the interview some day but it was very compelling. Sample: "There's nothing wrong with setting high standards for children if you know they are capable of reaching them." Suffice to say that Spielman is not the guy who enrolls his child in a T-ball league where no score is kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
