Super Bowl Ads - A Video History

With just a few days to go before the Super Bowl and what will hopefully be the New England Patriots' fourth win in seven seasons (sorry, we're New Englanders), let's shift the focus to what at least 10 of the 30-some-odd million people will truly be tuning in for.

Pro Sports Media Minute: Home Run Derby

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes.

That was my reaction after finishing up the near three-hour Home Run Derby last night on ESPN. Usually more fun to watch at times than the All-Star Game itself, the HRD is a chance for some of baseball's stars to wow the crowd with tape-measure blasts off the arms of coaches throwing hard enough for t-ball players to get good wood on a shot.

Some quick thoughts on last night's event...

It's Been That Long?

November 6, 2006.

That was the last post on the PSM blog, which is supposed to be "for our customers and partners who use our web-based software each day to manage their team sites." Well, despite the world of sports still going on and PSM still alive and kicking, we have neglected to do any updates here in over half a year. Sorry 'bout that.

So what's happened since we spoke to you last?

Goodbye Agassi

I must first gloat in the fact that I was fortunate enough to not only watch Agassi play tennis, but I was lucky to see him play one of those "match for the ages" matches. 2:00 am - Flushing Meadows - US Open 2005 as he finished off american James Blake in a 5th set tie-break. THE most magical sporting event I have been to.

The tennis world (and business world) is a better place for having Andre show us how to compete and how to pursue perfection over the past 20 years. The inspiration he gave me at age 14 playing night tennis in my neighborhood is the same stuff that gets me to the gym in the morning, stay up late making our products better and just motivates me every day to be a better person.

The single lesson I learn from having been lucky enough to follow Andre is to never give up.

Thanks Andre.
