Zombies

It has come to my attention that breaking scientific research (conducted in the lab of Dr. Robert J. Smith? at the University of Ottawa) has come to the conclusion that a zombie attack could be devastating to the human race. Thus, the Hollywood portrayal of the “Zombie Apocalypse” could be more realistic than previously thought. The conclusion of the study is that any Zombie outbreak must be met with a fast and effective counterstrike in order to prevent the outbreak from spreading. After reading the paper (Munz, et al., 2009, Infect. Dis. Mod. Res. Prog.), I fear that Zombies are one of the greatest threats facing the world today.

As Pandas are fierce warriors when provoked, I’m sure that any Zombie attack into Western China (particularly the Woolong area) would be swiftly repelled. However, there are not enough Pandas to completely rid the world of zombies should the human race fall, and thus a potential outbreak is of great concern to both the human and Panda communities.

I have contacted Milla Jovovich, and I would like to meet jointly with her and Barack Obama to discuss how the human and Panda races should begin to prepare for such an event.

A New Picture

Here is a picture that someone sent to me. It was snapped while Bunny and I were riding in a car with Bill Guerin with the Stanley Cup hanging out of the window. You can't see Bunny because he is driving. Bill Guerin is a cool guy.

Long time, no write...

I have received many concerned emails in regards to the lack of blog posts over the past several weeks. I would just like to assure everyone that everything is fine. I was just very emotionally drained after the Penguins Stanley Cup championship, and I needed some distance and time to mediate and reconnect with my inner peace. Additionally, I've been spending a lot of time on my novel and on some other business projects. Steelers training camp starts in August, and I'm trying to get as much non-sports consulting work done during the summer. Additionally, when the weather is nice, Bunny and I spend a couple of hours a day planning out and practicing our long snapping and special teams coverage in our courtyard.

For now, I will post a couple of pictures of Bunny and me during our trip to Pittsburgh for the Penguins Stanley Cup parade.

Here is a picture of me sitting on Jordan Staal's shoulder as Bunny (off camera) drinks champagne from the Stanley Cup:



Here is a picture of me with Conn Smythe Trophy winner Evgeni Malkin:



Here is a picture of Bunny and me at PNC park the Saturday after the win, right before the Pirates played the Detroit Tigers (the Pirates actually won!):



Here is a picture of Bunny and me riding in a car in the parade with Marc Andre Fleury and Sidney Crosby:

Whoooooooooo!

Do it.

Let's get this done so we can go on vacation.

Game 7. The final game.

Mike Tomlin, my colleague and one of the greatest leaders I have ever met, frequently talks about the importance of looking forward and not backward. Just yesterday, when discussing the recent Steeler workout minicamp with the media, he said, "I am not concerned about what happened in '05, '06 -- '07 or '08 for that matter," said Tomlin. "I am a singularly focused guy. My single focus is on developing a world championship-caliber team for 2009." Not to dismiss what happened last season because "it was an awesome team," Tomlin said. But, "Where we are is where we are. Where we are headed, more importantly than that, is our focus."

For the Penguins to win tonight, they must adopt the same "singularly focused" attitude. They must forget about every game that has passed and focus all of their thoughts, energy, and intensity on tonight's game. Nothing else exists. Their focus must be razor sharp. If they can do that, they will cut through their opponents like butter. The season ends tonight. The only question is which team will be the champions.
