Phil´s never been much of a Kobe Bryant fan, but after the Lakers´ gruelling win in game 7 of the NBA Finals, you gotta give credit where credit´s due. Bryant may never match MJ´s 6 NBA championships, and he doesn´t have a Larry Bird, but what he´s done in today´s free agent era astounds.
Kobe´s got that unique leadership quality seen in very few stars. He not only elevates his own game, but he elevates the games of those around him.

Bavaria´s orange mini ploy got more splash on the social networks at far less cost than Bud´s sponsorship of the World Cup. But, until the expulsion of the Dutch babes Phil never knew who the sponsor of the World Cup was. Bavaria´s ambush marketing tactics garnered it tons of publicity at a fraction of Bud´s costs, but Bud also benefited as the level of awareness of both brands increased.

Where´s The Buzz?
Not in the Edmonton Journal. Why? Good question. Hope the new president of Edmonton Northlands asks that question of the shill and his bosses. To leave the largest newspaper in Northern Alberta off your distribution list makes no business sense.
Edmonton Journal - You Bet - Northlands Just Loves Me
Most of Curtis Stock´s You Bet blogs garner a couple of comments. However, when he writes about hockey or horse racing the number of comments quintuples. Obviously, the interest in horse racing in Northern Alberta exists, if only Edmonton Northlands promoted it properly.
Gotta remember that Curtis gave the winner and tri in the Belmont for those of you paying attention.
"My play is a tri-box of Drosselmeyer, Interactif, Fly Down and Ice Box. I´m also going to play Drosselmeyr and Fly Down on top to Ice Box Interactif, Makemusicforme, Game On Dude, First Dude and Uptowncharleybrown with a little play on Drosselmeyer to win."
