	Description:		Chris Gasper talks to Lesley Visser, the most highly acclaimed female sportscaster of all time. Visser's the first and only woman in the Pro Football Hall of Fame; the only female sportscaster to have carried the Olympic Torch; the only woman to have presented the championship Lombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl; and the first woman on the network broadcasts of the Final Four, Super Bowl, and NBA finals. In this conversation, Visser discusses getting her start during the glory days of the Boston Globe, facing sexism early in her career, and her international experience, covering everything from the fall of the Berlin Wall to Yao Ming. She also sheds light on the time she got Patriots coach Bill Belichick to open up.
