Hey Guys I just noticed that my original Back To Work blog did not post completely. Here is the part that was cut off. Enjoy.
Finally I am back in Atlanta and I can definitely say that I have missed this city. Even though I have only been a part of the dirty bird franchise for a year now ( March 2nd to be exact) I am really starting to view Atlanta as my home.
I have been doing a lot of traveling since the season ended. I started with a weekend get away in Las Vegas then I stopped in Phoenix for the Superbowl which is a great experience every year ( it will be even better when I am playing in the game and not just watching). After the Superbowl, I flew to Hawaii to hang ten during the Pro-Bowl. After I got all of my fun out of the way it was back to business when I headed to Northern California to attend a business entrepreneurial program presented by the NFL at Standford University. From Standford I spent a week in Charleston at Moms house ( everyone know you cant stay away from home for too long before Moms is on the phone complaining.) After my much needed visit home I had the great pleasure and honor to speak at Columbia University as the keynote Speaker for the Sports Philanthropy Project. I was extremely nervous however I was told I did a great job (thanks everyone for all the support and motivation).
Now if you are exhausted reading the above paragraph, just imagine how tired I am from going through it. A lot has changed football wise since the season has ended. We have a entire new staff, including a great new GM from New England, our new head coach from the Jaguars, offensive coordinator courtesy of the Steelers and lastly my running back coach who we call Shaft. As far as I am concerned our whole staff is a bunch of Bad Mother (shut yo' mouth).
There were many causalities of war from the regime change. The one that hit me the most was when Alge Crumpler was released. Coming from Baltimore, Crump reminded me a lot of pro-bowl TE Todd Heap except he had a better tan. The reason Crump and I became so tight was because he was just an all around great person. He was always joking and laughing and cared about his teammates as individuals not just football player. I am very confident that he is going to do his thing with the Titans. I will be sure to pour out a little Gatorade next time I am on the field.
