SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Maybe it’s because I’m older and in the range where your have friends and colleagues whose partners, and parents are just reaching the end of that circle of life more often. Maybe it’s because we close in on the most profound day of loss for so many of us…September 11…that we notice these things more. …

Eighteen years later today still remains a very tough day for many. I have written about our experience that day at the USTA, and linked to the story that we played here, with both the positive and the negative. We lost 39 from Fordham and 26 from my high school Xaverian as well as so …
