A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins, sues a local paper and demands the firing of one of its writers after being the subject of a less than flattering profile. What was that old adage about not picking a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel?
