NFL传奇和成员<a href="http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-andrew-gachkar-jersey-c-2_62.html">着名的1969年的Andrew Gachkar Kids Jersey </a> Chilton高中足球队Dave Casper对那些看见他星期天说话的人有一个信息：保持谦虚，因为所有的好东西都结束了。

“如果有一件事我学到的是，首先是最后和最后将是第一，”卡斯珀告诉一个包装的人群在好牧羊人教区的地下室。

Casper被邀请回来担任哥伦布公司骑士团的圣诞主讲人。他反映在生活的顶部，同时也赋予一些智慧。

“There was a time where I was a big shot,” the 65-year old NFL Hall of Famer said.  “I was pretty good, I was the best in the world at what I did for four or five years and that stuff don’t last.”

Casper mentioned that over the course of his 11-year NFL career he was able to save about $800,000, much of which was lost in a Ponzi <a href="http://www.authenticnflraidersshop.com/shop-by-players-jerry-rice-jersey-c-2_42.html">Jerry Rice Authentic Jersey</a> scheme during his retirement.

“No matter where you are right now its going to change, no matter how cool you are right now, its going to change so that stuff goes away, it just does,” he said.

After football Casper gave up drinking and became more involved in church and the Knights of Columbus.

Even as a football player Casper was able to find time to worship.

At Notre Dame he attended Mass before games, and while as member of the Oakland Raiders Casper attended Mass with fellow Raiders legend John Madden.

But with faith comes challenges. For Casper it’s not as much about looking back as it is looking forward.

“You can never get it back, being 25 years old and winning the Super Bowl, it’ll never happen to me again,” he said. “So there’s a whole lot of acceptance and a lot of it is religious acceptance. The ultimate thing is you’re not supposed to be worried about this stuff here anyway, right?”

When looking back at his life Casper would say his best days were fishing or having a good conversation, instead of time spent on the field. In fact Casper doesn’t even has his Super Bowl XI championship ring anymore, it was misplaced when he moved.

“拥有一个超级杯环是件很酷的事情<a href="http://www.authenticraiderssale.com/shop-by-players-derek-carr-jersey-c-2_10.html"> http：// www .authenticraiderssale.com / shop-by-players-derek-carr-jersey-c-2_10.html </a>你是30岁，你有40年的时间来展示它，“他说。“但是当你只是靠自己在过去几年，谁在乎？”

NFL卡斯珀成为保险代理后，学习的生活是不同的，当你离开联盟。

“我可以去世界上任何地方，没有人关心，我可以去任何餐馆，他们不知道我是谁。如果他们这样做，他们就会忽视我，“他说。

如今，他通常每天花费50到60次的自由时间钓鱼。

但是卡斯珀从他面前的生活中学到了两个主要的教训，他告诉星期天参加的青年。 

“只是出现在练习和学习如何执行，并在那里，按时，学习做所有这些事情，”他说。“你从运动中学到的第二件事是应付技能。因为无论你有多好，你都会被打败，你会失去。

即使在所有的荣誉和荣耀，着名的鬼到邮政播放，五个所有临选择后，举起隆巴迪奖杯与攻略和一个国家冠军与圣母院：毕竟，卡斯珀仍然说他最喜欢的时刻在足球场来了，当他在1969年Chilton老虎。

“我最喜欢的记忆是在Sun Prairie <a href="http://www.authenticsteelerssale.com/shop-by-players-marcus-gilbert-jersey-c-2_23.html"> http：//www.authenticsteelerssale。当我射击差距，当他们在我们的5码线，但Buzzy（帕特·诺兰）有球的时候，回收它，“他说。

Chilton继续赢得了比赛7-0，这是未胜利的球队的胜利最低的边缘，击败对手363-0。
