As a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, I was ecstatic when they won their sixth Super Bowl in February. My wife purchased a DVD of highlights of the Steelers' 2008 season. What I love about these NFL Films productions is that we get to hear the behind the scenes conversations that players and coaches have on the sidelines, in the locker rooms, at the practices etc.
A modified version of this blog post was originally published in 2009. But thought with the start of the NFL season just a week away that now would be a good time to share it again. As a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, I was ecstatic when they won their sixth Super Bowl in February. My wife purchased a DVD of highlights of the Steelers' 2008 season. What I love about these NFL Films productions is that we get to hear the behind the scenes conversations that players and coaches have on the sidelines, in the locker rooms, at the practices etc. I was really inspired by Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin and one phrase he used in particular. One of the segments of the DVD showed the Steelers trailing the Dallas Cowboys late in a game. Then, in the fourth quarter the Steelers rallied from behind and won the game.

Not too long ago I was invited to attend an education committee meeting of a regional apartment association. Also invited to the meeting was a woman named Annie, who is a well-respected multifamily executive and someone I consider to be one of my mentors. Needless to say, it was a treat to be there at the same time with her. As I was speaking to Annie, one of the committee members (Carrie) approached Annie and gave her a huge hug. This person is a director at her company and she also speaks at many multifamily events. Then another person came up to say hello, at which point Annie pointed to Carrie and then to me, and said proudly, “These are my babies! I was with them at the beginning of their careers and now they’re out speaking and presenting nationwide."
Major League Baseball (MLB) announced that it has suspended New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez from playing baseball until the 2015 season for using “Performance Enhancing Drugs,” or PEDs, during his baseball career and for attempting to obstruct its investigation into PED use. Whether Rodriguez is guilty, or whether MLB was justified in handing down a much stricter suspension than it has for other players who were caught using PEDs, isn’t the point of this post as much as everyone’s reaction to this. It seems everyone just wants him to go away. Major League Baseball...the Yankees....the fans...
