Because I’m Obsessed With Creative…and the Redskins

I got a hold of the Redskins season tickets and I have to admit, the creative on these are nice.  The entire “R You In” campaign features some great design work and I love how consistent the look and feel is with every element of their marketing.  I promise this totally has nothing to do with the fact that I’m [...]

There’s Just One Thing That Bothers Me About Brett Favre…
There’s Just One Thing That Bothers Me About Brett Favre…

Brett Lorenzo Favre (did you know his middle name is Lorenzo? I sure didn’t! Wow, Lorenzo, though…that makes him that much more cool) is a great quarterback.  Ok, great may be an understatement.  He’s a future Hall of Fame-r. I like Brett Favre and I support his decisions.  I was never a Packers fan or a Vikings fan but watching [...]

Georgia State: Ready For The Close-Up
Georgia State: Ready For The Close-Up

I am an NC State alum. I am also an alum of Georgia State University. I adore my Wolfpack and I have a strange relationship with the Panthers.  It’s not personal, NCSU will always be my first love. I admit, I was shocked when I saw this on the news stands yesterday… …but not entirely because ESPN had been covering [...]

LeBron, You Wouldn’t Disappoint an Old Lady, Would You?

Never have I ever seen this much hype surrounded around a free-agency period in the history of the NBA…err…when I started to pay attention. Even Betty White and the cast of Hot In Cleveland jumped on the “please baby please stay…baby baby please” bandwagon and created a special spot just for LBJ…
