From Wall Street to the Super Bowl

The WSJ has a neat story about Grant Bowman. At the start of the football season, he was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bowman was able to get a job on Wall Street with Lehman Brothers.

Then, a week ago Monday, his cellphone buzzed with messages from his mother, his agent and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They all wanted to tell him the same thing: Pack your bags for the Super Bowl.
Mr. Bowman, 25 years old, was tapped at the last minute for a slot on the Steelers’ practice squad. At scrimmages this week leading up to the game, he is playing the role of opposing Seattle Seahawks players to help Pittsburgh’s first-stringers get ready. Though he isn’t likely to play in the big game itself, he will earn a Super Bowl ring for himself if the Steelers win Sunday.

FYI: Cowher hasn’t called me yet. I’ll keep you posted.
