Took another stop on my tour with Novartis talking about hypertension and high blood pressure.
After stops in Syracuse and Chicago, I found myself in Harrisburg, the capitol of Pennsylvania. After a few media hits it was on to the Capitol Building to meet with some politicians and their constituents.
While there we barged into the Governor's office. Ed Rendell was gracious enough to invite me, my parents, and our group into his office. After that, we were invited to the floor of the House of Representatives. Note to all PA residents: You are all well represented as there were just as many Steelers fans as Eagles fans amongst the politicians.
While we were there to talk about hypertension, you might imagine there were more than a few questions about football. Here are a few of the more popular ones along with my responses.
Q: Did the team do enough this offseason to compete for a Super Bowl?
A: We have enough to compete right now. If there is a chance to continue improving our roster after June 1 than we should look at that too.
Q: Without any new offensive weapons, how will the team improve this year?
A: Having L.J. Smith healthy is a good start. We need to be more productive in the Red Zone and that's a part of the field where the tight end is crucial. When L.J. was hurt last year we seemed to get away from that too much.
Q: What about DeSean Jackson?
A: He impressed me with his speed and ability to catch the ball. Hopefully he will be able to shorten the field for us with his return ability on special teams, and stretch the field on offense with his speed.
