Whether they are for yourself or bought as a gift, most football fans (and friends or family of football fans) will come across retro football shirts and kits as a potential present idea. They are quite a popular choice, especially for people who still think about a very specific event in the history of football that has stuck with them for years, but not all vintage football shirts are going to be equally attractive – or easy to get hold of.

Thursday brings Thanksgiving, which means it’s almost Black Friday, and then the next day Small Business Saturday. Cyber Monday follows a week from tomorrow, but this year, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s going to feel like almost all, or at least a majority, of holiday shopping will be done online.
Also, if you want to know the history of the name Black Friday go here. It’s actually related to a post Civil War financial fraud scheme, not fiscal ledger sheets. Without further ado, let’s commence the holiday gift guide.

Yesterday saw Manchester United legend David Beckham leaking the new third kit for this season by posting a snap of himself in it on his Instagram. Today saw United and Adidas do their online product rollout, confirming what had been out there for some time already- it’s a zebra design.
Yes, as had been rumored for awhile already, United are going with a third kit that Marty from the animated film series “Madagascar” would love. The cartoon zebra, voiced by Chris Rock, is probably one of few who actually like it.

Chelsea’s home ground of Stamford Bridge is only about nine miles or so from Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace reside. Shirt design wise, the two clubs are now much closer than that; or at least they are today, with the result of Chelsea’s new third kit.
No doubt about it, the very first reaction you get upon seeing this design is “wow, that looks just like Crystal Palace!” And the club noticed too, as they have clapped back at Chelsea and their questionable hash tag on social media.

It is actually enjoyed by a live audience of 650 million people around the world, but the most ardent celebrations take place in Australia. The race is such a big deal that it is honoured with a public holiday in the state of Victoria, allowing people to plan their day around the Melbourne Cup. This is how you have the best possible day out:

University of Kentucky Coach John Calipari met the media, virtually, via Zoom this morning for a session that focused primarily on his recently having partnered with the McClendon Foundation.
Calipari will work with other college basketball coaches to help launch the McLendon Minority Leadership Initiative (follow this link for more), but the main takeaway from the session was Coach Cal’s pleas to “just wear a mask.” The Wildcats head man said this phrase a few times, and he’s absolutely right to keep repeating this message. Simply put, a lot of people are just not listening, and they need to finally “get it.”

It is said that, ‘First impression is the last impression’, and the main key to impress anyone at very first appearance is your great personality. Your personality always illustrates about your nature. Usually, everyone gets attracted to the opposite one either by his personality or the look, though personality matters the most. [Read more…]

Before you head out for the slopes, the ice rink, or just for some good old-fashioned snowshoeing, make sure you’re not heading into a self-made trap. Winter accidents tend to happen mainly because people aren’t prepared for the weather conditions, aren’t physically healthy enough to be doing the thing they’re doing, or because they’re ignorant of how to safely engage in some sport or activity.
Also, icy roads and wintry conditions can lead to dicey and hazardous roads. Accidents abound on frozen highways. You might need to call up a personal injury attorney to help make sure you can achieve the best outcome possible of a really bad situation. This is commonplace in wintertime.

The NBA All-Star Game, for the first time since 1988, roared through the Windy City, my hometown of Chicago, a couple weeks ago. And I was heavily involved…covering some of the periphery events, red carpets and D List celebrity events. It was a whirlwind few days, a crazy weekend of ridiculous over-scheduling. And we chronicled it all for “Let’s Get Weird, Sports” #16, which is embedded for your listening pleasure below.
There were numerous celebrities and celebrity handlers, all of which took themselves way too seriously…to laughable proportions. Even more laughable was all the corporatespeak and buzzwords, from all those handlers and PR people. So let’s get transformative and empowering, as we meet up at the brand house for the activation, a place where your brand comes alive with deliverables that embody the core competencies! Synergy!
