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!

New and Old New
I'm looking forward to the new competitor to ESPN, Fox Sports 1. Although I watch plenty of live sports on ESPN, the other shows (with the exception of Outside The Lines and 30 for 30) are unwatchable. After the NBA Finals, I have to avoid the network entirely to avoid their Lebron-a-thon.
I should be watching more NBCSports, but unless it's hockey or minor sports, I haven't thought to flip over there.
On the other hand, ESPN has piqued my curiosity by bringing back a face from their glory years with the re-hiring of Keith Olbermann. His '90s SportsCenters with Dan Patrick, aka The Big Show, were great and something that ESPN has run into the ground. I plan on watching his new show next month just to see what's changed since the mid-90s.
