Blog Dump
I'm back! Finals are over. I've started another class. Only 3 more to go!
I need to get a few things out there (out here) before they become insignificant or I just forget about them.
Stories that sell...really?
We love our NFL horror stories and high profile players in trouble, but won't good stories about these athletes sell as well? Perhaps, I've just not paid close enough attention. BUT, I didn't need to pay much attention at all to hear about Adam "Pacman" Jones with strippers or Michael Vick with dogs. I had to look to the back page of SI to find an incredible story about Jason Simmons and Ahman Green,both of the Houston Texans. See, Ahman was recently acquired by the Texans and Simmons owned Green's lucky jersey number 30. Typically, a player will come in and offer money or presents to get the number. In this case, Simmons named a different sort of price. Ahman is to make a down payment on a house for a disadvantaged single parent. My opinion, AWESOME! To make the story even better, Green offered to pay the mortgage for the 1st year.
Why can't we hear about these stories more often? Oh, and if you try to search for the story you won't see ESPN or any of the other major sports outlets come up. Nope. You get the info from Deadspin.com. At least someone on the web is representing the up lifting stories. I did finally find the story at ESPN though. I just don't know why it didn't make as much noise as the $81,000 that showered the performing artists in Vegas.
Is an MBA really worth it?
Just a question I often ask myself in the middle of each semester. I know it won't pay off directly at work in terms of a paycheck, but I guess the point of continued education is to get more out of it than external rewards. What do you think?
Is Amy Winehouse HOT or NOT?
Thanks to a true friend, I've ended the poll and no longer look like an idiot. RESULTS are final. NOT HOT and definitely British!
