As I was waiting in line to board my plane to Haiti a woman asked me, “So what do you do for a living?”

I excitedly responded, “Well, I just graduated from college!”

Wow. I know right know, we fans are more concerned with how each of these young men who were selected to be Steelers this weekend are going to contribute to our team but, after searching for information obout our 7th round pick, my eyes were opened. Even if Baron Batch is a football bust, this young man is headed for higher things. I can't remember being so impressed by one of our picks than I have of him. After reading several of his articles, I'm hooked. His life was hell as a child, yet he grew up to be one of the most mature, loving and generous young men I've ever seem in a football uniform. Every man drafted into the NFL should read what he has to say........there are simply no excuses for making zillions of dollars in this league, being a scumbag, and blaming it on your upbringing.
