If you've ever watched ESPN you know who Adam Schefter is. But this interview with the Senior NFL Insider and his mom Shirley will introduce you to a whole new side of one of the most famous faces in sports media. Lisa describes how she launched Adam's career by putting him on the map when he was a young sportswriter covering her husband Ed and the Denver Broncos in the '90s.

Jan Krieger clearly remembers the first time she really saw her four-year-old son's vibrant personality come out. At a Wisconsin football game, the band started playing and little George began dancing in the aisle, captivating strangers who were so delighted they started throwing quarters to him. Two decades later George Kittle is still dancing, but is now captivating millions of fans as one of the most entertaining (and dominating) players in the NFL. Thanks to a mid-season trade by the Niners, the four-time Pro Bowl Tight End is now teammates with Lisa's son Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco. Hear Jan and Lisa explain how their sons - who are one win away from taking the 49ers to Super Bowl LVII - became fast friends in a locker room full of superstars. Growing up with nine sisters on a farm in Iowa, Jan opens up about her own journey starting a family, including how she first laid eyes on her future husband through a pair of binoculars at a football game. Jan answers listener questions about how she raised George and his sister Emma to be the successful, curious, creative, thoughtful adults they are today. And be sure to stick around for the end, as George and Emma share what they love and appreciate most about their mom.
