At the start of the third grade (1982), I placed my first ever football bet. I wagered 50 cents on my favorite football team to beat my best friend's favorite team -- the Dallas Cowboys. I won that bet.
Hopefully, the Steelers can come through for me again tomorrow and help me win $500 in the office pool.

I took a two week sabbatical from Lehman Brothers, and am now in Pittsburgh practicing with the team. Several people since then have asked me to keep them up to date on what is happening. In response I have decided to write the "Super Bowl Letter" in order to keep everyone up to date....
