Entourage Comes Back Tonight
Sorry for the lack of posting. Benkoo.com is getting overhauled. You’ll see Benkoo.com 3.0 tomorrow.
Entourage comes back tonight and while it’s one of my favorite shows, its become a little bit predictable of late. Its still hilarious, with lots of great dialogue and shananiginz, but every season the episodes and season plots seem to fall [...]

RIP Steve McNair- Gritty QB’s Death Rocks Blogosphere
I flipped the channel to ESPN a little while ago only to be informed that one of my favorite NFL players athletes of all time had been murdered today. It’s not clear who shot Steve McNair and why (although there are a lot of rumors and theories), but regardless its a very sad day for [...]

What I am doing Tonight..
About a year ago, I learned that the classic movie Point Break has been transitioned into a play.
I literally freaked out and without doing research, bought 5 tickets to see the next upcoming show. I didn’t verify that people were coming, I just knew that this could be in fact the most awesome thing ever [...]

Online Advertising With Balls…Burger King and Vegas Douchebag
More and more, I’ve found myself being a connoisseur of online advertising. This industry has yet to really settle into a groove or system of structure like print, radio, outdoor, and television.
Below are some ad campaigns I came across that I was really impressed by. Let’s start with a very basic rich media display ad [...]

Freddy Adu- My Scape Goat for Today’s Loss
US soccer has ebbed and flowed over the last 15 years. The 94 world cup was a huge step forward but 98 was a huge step back. 2002 was very encouraging, but 2006 was yet again another big buzz kill.
Today the US National team had a tremendous opportunity to focus the attention of the Sport’s [...]

Bob Green- The Greatest Thing in Montana
My blog is going to go under some construction shortly. This could be the last post before that process starts. If so, it’s a good way to go out.
Came across this today on Bucknuts via Hot Clicks.
This is seriously one of the funniest personalities I’ve ever seen on TV….and he’s a football coach. I would [...]

Blogs With Balls- A Turning Point for Sports 2.0
Although I’ve been beaten to the punch and already posted an interview with Kyle on the site yesterday, it wouldn’t be right of me to not writeup the great experience I had at Blogs With Balls over the weekend.
When I first heard about the conference in mid March, I envisioned this being a great stepping [...]

Blogs With Balls Interview With Kyle Bunch
I am going to write up the wonderful experience I had at Blogs With Balls at some point tomorrow. I can tell you it was a tremendous event filled with more highlights then the end of the year Baseball Web Gem Award Show.
At the heart of everything that was awesome at the event was the [...]

Global Sports Fraternity- Great Fodder for Sports Blogs
I have got to meet a lot of various people since becoming CEO of Bloguin. Even though its hard to work or partner with everyone I talk to, its still cool to meet technology and entrepreneurial minded people.
One person that I’ve been really impressed by is Henry Lowenfels, owner of MayFly films who runs Global [...]

ESPN’s Piece on Lane Kiffin and Recruiting Violations Actually Turned Into a Recruiting Violation
Talk about a grenade with the pin pulled out. Lane Kiffin has been nothing short of a train wreck at Tennesee thus far. True, he has yet to even prove his coaching abilities out on the field, but like clock work every 30 days Kiffin makes an ass out of himself and the Volunteer program [...]

Classic Sir Charles
Some of you have seen this, others have not. It’s borderline NSFW, meaning if your work is super lame you may want to put on some headphones as Barkley decides he to push the envelope.
I love how this comes in the same year in which Barkley got a really shady DUI. Really love Reggie Miller’s [...]

Something is better then nothing
Super busy, but I like to throw up content at least every other day. It’s not going to happen today, but thought I would post this awesome video below from Playing for Change.
I’ve seen this before, but it was a blog by my friend Andrew Greenstein, CEO of Bojam, who jogged my memory of its [...]

The NCAA Baseball Tournament is Epically Crazy
The NCAA Baseball tournament which culminates in the College World Series has over the years provided a lot of great under the radar stories.
With a very odd elimination structure as well aggressive scheduling, very often college baseball provides for some of the most dynamic sports storylines although they can be overshadowed by the culmination of [...]

Kobe vs. Lebron is about to Become Dan vs Dave 2.0 in Marketing Fail
Leading up to the 1992 Olympic games, Reebok pumped millions of dollars into an advertising campaign many of us will still remember. Dan vs. Dave, featured 2 Decathletes who were viewed as the two favorites to win the gold medal. Why they chose Decathletes blows my mind, but at least they avoided Harding vs Kerrigan. Fast forward 17 years later and look what we have brewing. This...

Commercial of the Week- Intel and Their Rock Star
I probably love this commercial more then anyone else.
If you work in tech, things that get you and your colleagues excited are typically things that any normal non tech dork would not give 2 cents about.
Intel, in the uber nerdy semiconductor space, embraces the lack of awareness of their excellence as a company and by [...]

I love blogging, but the current state of affairs keeps me from doing as much as I want.
In addition to blogging here and on writing on Bucknuts, I am now doing a blog on Bloguin’s corporate home page. Here is the link to my initial effort (you get to see a funny College Humor video [...]

NBA Playoffs Allow for Good Satire
The NBA playoffs have been pretty entertaining thus far with a lot of unexpected drama as we march to the Finals.
Also entertaining, has been the great satire of the NBA marketing/PR machine that loves to beat its chest.
Below are 2 examples. I’ll probably have to replace the SNL one with a Hulu clip at some [...]

The Most Glorious and Nostalgic Commercial EVER-Punchout Wii
Holy lord. The mother of all commercials.
If you are a guy in your 20’s and haven’t played Punchout on Nintendo, I have some serious questions about your upbringing.
Fast forward 20 years later and I am guessing unless you are finishing up college, you yearn for a simpler time when PunchOut, sleepovers, trading baseball cards, and [...]

Where Twitter Has Value…
Imagine going to your website and finding that it was down. Not just your website, but your business’ website.
What do you do? The hosting company’s website is actually down too. What’s going on? Is it your computer? Your Internet connection? Are other people’s sites down?
Tell me what other service compiles information in real time like [...]

VC’s Love Humor Website-Jib Jab Ruins Free Mother’s Day Plan

Old Media vs New Media….
A couple days back I put up a promo video that I was fond of from Gawker Media which proclaims blogs as “the future”. However of late its been clear that if blogs really are the future, then unfortunately newspapers and magazines are “the past.” With dozens of high profile magazine closing down in this [...]

Game Respects Game- Gawker’s Ad Sales Promo Video
In the past I have tipped my hat to Gawker media for their ability to sell blogs to premium advertisers. I think in general Gawker does an amazing job at not only understanding content, but also advertisers needs as they seem to have a high fill rate of premium campaigns and a lot of repeat [...]
