Kate Upton teaches MLB stars the circle…change
Kate Upton dons the cover of this year’s SI Swimsuit issue that hit stands this week. Boooring. Personally, we prefer her in less expected and more casual environments. The cover of SI is nice and all, but how about her role in the new 2K Sports commercial for their MLB 2K12 game? In this intellectually [...]
MSG Network Tapping Into Linsanity to Lure Switch
Linsanity lives. I won’t belabor the point. What’s not to love, though? And in this insane world where Jeremy Lin reigns supreme, this may rank up there at the top of the heap of things that would’ve gotten you committed to a straightjacket not too long ago. Imagine if only a month ago, anyone would’ve [...]
Herzlich Tweet Best Out of Indy
Forget media day. Spare me the hype and the Brady-Manning comparisons. Let’s talk about Coughlin and Canton later. Amidst all the nonsense making “news” in the weeks leading up to this Sunday’s Super Bowl, this tweet from Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich speaks the loudest.
Things Are Looking Up For The Browns!
The beloved Brownies have signed a man of great talent to lead their offense. Before you judge too hastily, consider this man’s full arsenal of tools: This obviously changes the balance of power in the AFC Central North. While the Browns still have to catch the Squeelers who are led by a man who can [...]
Brady Gives Team UGGs, Brilliantly Simple PR
I hate the Patriots. I don’t hate Tom Brady. I think I hate UGGs. I do know one thing. Great PR can be brilliantly simple. As a diehard Jets fan and a communications person by trade, I couldn’t help but stop and smile at the recent tweets indicating Brady had gifted all his teammates pairs [...]
Best NFL Playoff Interview: Can’t Wait vs. My Quarterback
Playoffs? Playoffs!!?? Everyone knows that clip and Jim Mora is rightfully immortalized for it. But what about two memorable interviews from recent memory and, well, the playoffs! The past few seasons have produced a pair of the most memorable post-game oratory performances in NFL history. One, soaring in victory. The other, whimpering in defeat. Both [...]
10 Years Ago, Rob Ray Pummels Fan
OK, so it’s a little ahead of an official 10th anniversary. And, no, this has not much to do with anything. But I stumbled upon some hockey fight countdowns recently and landed on one particular clip from legendary enforcer Rob Ray. The “Rayzor” spent the better part of his career in Buffalo pounding opponents as [...]
Five NBA “Throwback” Unis to Bring Back (Permanently)
Here at The Legend we tend to get a bit nostalgic about our sports from time to time. So, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise when we think that some things should go back to being the way they used to be. Because, such things, would unquestionably make the world a better place…at least [...]
Sarah McLachlan ASPCA Spot Inspires New Mets Ticket Ad
Sometimes comedy is best served up in its simplest form. From the fine folks at the Mets-focused blog The Apple comes a new season tickets spot from your…New…York…Mets. Well done, gentlemen. Well. Done. If only I thought my contribution actually could help…I’ll need some testimonials down the line to assess what impact my donation may [...]
Tim Tebow Gone and Blew Up Twitter
Anyone sick of the Tebow hype? Too bad for you. It’s only getting BIGGER. Following last night’s “heroics,” I tweeted the following trying to be one of those totally predictable wannabe-witty Twitter people: Well, turns out there was some fact based in that opinion. According to the netizens at Mashable, Tebow not only helped put [...]
