Wow! So the Steelers, Jags, Giants, Lions, Vikings and Browns are all here in Key Largo for the week on a scouting conference. Through a friend I found out they were hanginging at the local Marriot. My buddy told me Mean Joe was there last night and there was a good chance he would be there tonight. I showed up about 8:00 and immediately saw lots of dudes in NFL apparel....mostly Vikes and Jags. Before long I was introduced (because I had my steelers cap on) to a couple of guys that were "Steelers Guys". The first guy was wearing a Chiefs t-shirt (Slapshot) and looked familiar said his name was Kevin.....2 minutes later I realized it was Kevin Colbert. We talked for about 45 minutes.....he was very cool. Very down to earth. We talked about the last draft. I asked him about losing out on E. Wood and he said they had Hood ahead of him....said they wanted Loadholt in the second with Unger number 2....when both were gone they traded out.....said they love K.Lewis and Urbik. Mean Joe as it turns out left today for washington/obama......Colbert gave me his business card and told me he wanted to get me on the field for the Dolphins game Jan. 3rd....he then introduced me to Dan Rooney ( the scout who discovered Willie).....we all talked and watched the rest of the Cavs/Magic game......I didnt know it but Colbert is a Pitttsburgh native....took some pics with Kevin and Dan and the SB XL ring.....so cool. P.S. Brian Simmons the former bengal LB is now a scout for the Jags....met him and was a pretty cool dude........Colbert says we are in for a great year!!!!!!!
