SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I had never been asked to write a forward for a book, and then in the course of thirty days two dear friends and colleagues asked me to do so. I guess everyone else was on vacation, lol. Seriously it was very humbling and quite an honor to be asked by both Shripal Shah and …
Just a few weeks ago the National Sports Collectors Convention, a massive treasure trove of memorabilia new, unique and traditional, returned to Chicago. It is what you would expect, aisle upon aisle of collectables big and small, with literally millions exchanging hands…or just a few dollars. Our summer intern Luke Silpe wrote about his experience here. …
Our business doesn’t go an hour it seems without some “big news” off the field. The ESPN launch, NIL and college issues, FIFA World Cup planning, streaming wars, gambling suspensions, NBA Europe, Caitlin Clark and on and on. If Billy Joel wanted to write a sports version of “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” it wouldn’t …

“No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don’t ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.” Neil deGrasse Tyson It’s that time of year where the requests for help with jobs, internships, college choices come from parents and recent grads in droves.

A few weeks ago Sports Business Journal did a story where reporter David Broughton made a trip to Indianapolis for a weekend filled with hoops, NBA and WNBA, racing and lots of other things along the way. The type of trips I love. Why sit in a hotel room or hang at the same old …
I have always loved CBS Sunday Mornings. Rare is the week that goes by when I don’t learn something about someone and something. I also really enjoy the features that run tied to sports, from the youth level to the professional and everything in between. Even if I feel I know the story, I always …
