There is something about writing, especially on your own site, that keeps your mind fresh. I’ve been pathetic at doing it the last 6 months and I hope to get back in the groove now. It’s been far too long. To get back on a roll I present to you the future of sports journalism […]

There are a lot of interesting people on the Internet. For instance check out the comments on my article about how Tyler Hansbrough commercial is awful. When you google “Tyler Hansbrough commercial”, look what happens. While you would think this is a good thing, my blog mocking how terrible that commercial is pops up for […]

A couple weeks back, Yardbarker announced a partnership with Fox Sports that seemed to pique a lot of people’s interest. “FoxSports.com, MSN.com and independent blog aggregator Yardbarker have struck a three-year content syndication and advertising sales partnership that deepens an existing relationship between the three hubs. Building on a smaller, content-for-distribution deal struck in June […]

In the video below, you tell me what Mark May is doing about 15 seconds in. Yeah I know you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I am pretty convinced it was the more hilarious possibility. I am not the only one who interpreated that way. So to recap, a […]

Today the puck dropped on the 2009 hockey season. Yes, hockey is the youngest smallest brother of the major 4 sports but its still a major sport. Just not enough to be ESPN……or actually on DirectTV. Local fans can find their games on a local sports provider, but the national television rights are split between […]

Athletes can make great spokespeople for products and brands. That’s nothing new. However they can be divisive considering sports fans often dislike various athletes for various reasons. Also sometimes the actual of act of doing a particular commercial can be offputting to some (remember the Charles Barkley, I’m not a role model commercial). Other examples […]

First off, I am back. I moved, I went to Seattle, I went to New York, I launched thecomeback.com and so on…It was a very busy month but I’ll be back more often. Now back to blogging…. From the moment the Super Bowl ends to first college football games, I yearn for football. Yes, I […]

I go to the movies maybe 3x a year since college. I wish I could go more, I just never do. One day I hope that changes, but here is a movie that is on my radar that I want to see badly. Similar to my obsession with Point Break Live, this just seems like […]

ESPN today announced that they will be launching destination sites like espnchicago.com in LA, New York, and Dallas. The article made the front page of the New York Times and has peaked the interest of many in the blogosphere. The NYT article doesn’t pull punches clearly making the connection that this is another blow to […]

Commercial of the Week is back from a LONG hiatus. Saw this yesterday and it really cracked me up. Minute Maid isn’t really a sexy product nor one that necessarily stick out through the clutter to 18-35 men. This commercial accomplishes that and caps it with some nice imagery that makes me miss the awesomeness […]

If you head over to Blogswithballs.com you’ll find a couple new things. First the site has been redesigned to promote the upcoming 2.0 conference to be held in Las Vegas, October 15-16. as part of the broader Blogwold Conference. I blogged about this before, but this is a huge step up from years past as […]

I am going to write a very broad piece tonight about some of the VERY encouraging things I am seeing in Sports 2.0 (which probably needs a real definition btw). I’ll still write some of the things on my mind, but that thunder got stolen today with the news that SB Nation, a company somewhat […]

Unless you are blind you can tell that this blog has gone through a big change today. Benkoo.com/ Koo’s Corner is now on the Bloguin platform opposed to its previous setup on WordPress. I am still getting unpacked in my new digs and there is still some work to be done, but overall everything is […]

Entourage is one of my favorite shows, but for many its grown a little stale. Its different, its funny, the characters are great as is the dialogue, but many seasons and episodes just seem to be the same old stuff. Below is great video from College Humor that touches on this and of late some […]
