Robert asked the 35-year-old athlete a beer, at which point Chad made his day by buying him a 24-pack - plus a pack of Newports for good measure.

What Tim Tebow's failure teaches us about America

Reblogged from The Verbal Sniper, by Alan Skontra:

Yesterday, the day a basketball player became the first openly gay athlete in one of the big four pro team sports, the cover story on ESPN's website was about the New York Jets cutting their fifth-string quarterback.

I said on Facebook that I'm looking forward to the day when neither is a story. I'm actually surprised that I didn't see more people talk about Jason Collins…

Last American Hope in Crashed Ice—Cameron Naasz—Just lost his shot at winning the World Championship Title

Cameron Naasz- American Leader in Crashed Ice

I know very little about the sport but knowing that there was an American in the race made this sport very entertaining. Now that Cameron Naasz is out of the race I became a little less interested. Hopefully his contribution to the sport makes Americans more interested in participation in Crashed Ice Downhill. As an emerging sport marketer I am trying to stay open-minded about marketing extreme sports!

The race toward the World Championship Title started with a false start and ended the race with a fall…Lost hope on the World Championships.

Wrong move after wrong move… Naasz has a lot of work to do to win the world title next year.
