Wednesdays with Will: March Madness
20.03.2013 - 15:55

It is that glorious time of the year again. The time of the year where a single basket is the difference between a full on temper tantrum and the gleeful prance of victory, where friends come together to watch games all day long and alma mater chants can be heard from street to street. March Madness holds a…

Ravens
Super Sunday Night Super Bowl
4.02.2013 - 16:58

Chykie Brown made dome angels as black, white, purple and yellow confetti rained down on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome’s turf last night. Although the Super Bowl came down to a controversial “nail-biting” finish, in the end, the Raven’s “got ‘er done” and brought  the Vince Lombardi Trophy back to Baltimore. Aside from football and the Harbaugh human interest element, viewers had several…

Sports and Business: What was it Aretha wanted me to do? R-e-something?
24.01.2013 - 11:05

I’ve played the female version of America’s past-time my entire life, and I’ve always attributed my character to what I’ve learned from the game. Now- entering the fast-paced world of business- more than ever, I’m I glad I had softball (and sports and general) to teach me some simple rules. Sports/business Rule #5: Respect the game!…

Super Bowl XLVII: AFC vs. NFC, East Coast vs. West Coast and Brother vs. Brother
22.01.2013 - 17:20

As one of the most watched sporting events of the year, the Super Bowl has a little something for everyone: sports, entertaining advertisements, high profile musicians and a little drama. And to spark the drama factor, in a little less than two weeks, two teams will face off to determine who is the better team… and who is coached by…

Guess who’s back, back again, the Bulls are back—tell a friend! With the excitement of the Chicago Bulls kicking off their 2012-2013 season (without Derrick Rose) at the United Center against the Sacramento Kings last night, they pushed out an integrated marketing campaign entitled, Chicago Basketball. The campaign taps into the heart of how Chicago relates…

The Return of the Referees: Nice try replacements, but the pros are taking the field
28.09.2012 - 11:14

While the replacement referees have been calling the games since the preseason, insanity took over the gridiron this week; Packers fans whined (I guess I see their point), 49ers fans were in a bind, and everyone else lost their minds. But, alas, the NFL circus has ended; yesterday the referees and the league came to…

Athletes, Art and Multiculturalism on Steroids
13.08.2012 - 12:02

Of course I am not insinuating that ANY athlete from ANYWHERE was or is on steroids. My title is altruistic, not accusatorial. My point is that I can’t think of a greater culmination of our world’s collection of cultures than the Olympics. Every four years, the best athletes from around the world compete on a…
