Hello blogging world, this is my last and final post of the school semester, I may or may not be back to update, since I know everybody and their dogs read this, it has been an interesting year because I have never blogged before and I'm glad I had the experience to at least try out blogging. I will leave you with these crazy sports pics!!
I just came upon this website saying that some of the Tampa Bay Lightning organization(an NHL hockey team), has had imposters, or posed as someone on the team trying to be someone else on the team and having them tweet inappropriate things. So the article is just saying how people should be careful of who they follow and make sure they have the right people.
Guess what I just found another article dealing with professional athletes and their response to what they think of having social sites to reach fans like us. Some of their responses are humorous and you may find quite amusing....
This article that I just found that hits close to home at least for me, being from Nebraska. It talks about Tom Osborne, Athletic Director at University of Nebraska, and his opinion on social media and his athletes at his school. He held a meeting with all the athletes at Nebraska saying that they would be monitoring anything that is inappropriate on his athletes social sites.
Hey party people. I just found an article on the social media guide website that I talked about in earlier blogs. This is one is about an internet site called CaptainU. It's a beta recruiting website that just got started up. It is directed towards soccer players and other athletes. You can read more about it here.
I just found somethin on the web that talks about what happens to players money when they are fined. It was dated in 1993 but copyrighted again in 2004 so I take it that this is still in play. They are saying on this website that players fine money goes to Charitable organizations instead of to back to the league that sent out the fine. So when anybody is fined it'll go to a cancer foundation or medical research foundation of some sort. You guys think that they should still do this? Or what are your opinions on this?
Hey Bloggers and Classmates, I have just found a incredible website that may have an impact on some of your guy's blogs. It's a social media guide. It deals with this and that, top to bottom of everything to do about media. So I suggest you check it out if you are in need of new blogs. here's a link to the one about my topic but they have a whole toolbar at the top of the webpage to go into anything you could think of about social media. HOPE IT HELPS!!!
Hey guys I just found a website that tells about the 10 most controversial players that use twitter according to andrew at Hunter College and he tells the fines or the things they did after their controversial tweet.
Hey guys, I know this doesn't relate to social media, but this video an article is about how players use to blurt out their emotions after games with out social media to go to. This happened within the last month, the person: Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics.
The video is on youtube, but I got it from this website that describes what happened in the game.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell tweeted from last weekend's draft, and the New England Patriots revealed draft picks on Twitter before Goodell announced them. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league will review how teams announce draft picks and determine if a policy is necessary. USA TODAY's Jeff Zillgitt outlines where some leagues stand.

NBA David Stern Up to teams to decide when players can tweet Stern posts on the NBA's Twitter page. He tweeted often during All-Star weekend: "Just visited with two prospective owners, said hi to a bunch of old nba friends at hotel (including MJ) and headed to ariz repub paper. DJS"
NHL Gary Bettman No league policy Bettman has a Twitter page, but he must approve followers before tweets can be viewed
MLB Bud Selig Laptop computers, handheld devices are not permitted on bench, in dugout; portable communication devices cannot be used in clubhouse from 30 minutes before game until game ends Selig does not have a Twitter page"
These are the policies on Twitter or social networking sites in the professional leagues in the United States
Les Miles, the head coach of Lousiana State University football team is no stranger to the social networking site Twitter. According to him,"Absolutely, it's for recruiting purposes," Miles says. "It allows us to communicate, to those people that subscribe, blasts of information. … It's also an opportunity for those prospects that subscribe to communicate to us."

In today's society it's important for every boy and girl to get their college degree. Unless you are about 6 foot 5 inches tall and incredibly talented at putting a basketball through a round cylinder ten feet off the ground.
There is a debate right now going on in my topic, about guys going to the NBA after one year of a college education. Some analysts are wanting it to be how it use to be, they can go to the NBA directly after high school.
You may or may not recognize this man above, but this man is Tim Donaghy, he is/was a referee in the NBA, who retired after 17 years in the NBA. He got caught for betting on games he was refing, and other NBA games as well. Here are some of his credentials:
Age: 40 NBA experience: Referee in 772 regular-season games in 13 seasons 2005-06 season: 63 games; team officiated most often -- Trail Blazers (7 games) 2006-07 season: 68 games; team officiated most often -- Heat and 76ers (8 games) High school: Cardinal O'Hara (Springfield, Pa.; one of four NBA refs to attend O'Hara) College: Villanova, 1989 Of note: In his first dozen seasons as an NBA referee, worked 704 regular-season games and 15 playoffs ... Also has seven years of CBA officiating experience ... Played varsity baseball at Villanova ... Participated in the NBA Read to Achieve program.

David Stern has to worry about all sorts of things in the NBA, but gambling and cheating in the NBA is one of the larger topics that I could personally think of, and what better for an example but this man.
With the upcoming NBA All Star Weekend, I figured a video of one of the greatest Dunk Contests ever was due. So here is a little something from the eighties, with some of the all time greats in basketball, Dominique "the Human Highlight Reel" Wilkins, and Michael "Air" Jordan.
I was looking around at the different owners. I have come to find out that majority of teams are owned by businesses instead of by one or two people. Here is the list of people if you guys are interested.
It's interesting to see what the team values are of each team as well as the net worths. For instance the Owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, Paul Allen, is also the cofounder of a small company called Microsoft......:D
David Stern, shown above, is the commissioner of the National Basketball League. He is pretty much what I want to do eventually, but it will take awhile to get there. Here is a little about him and what he has done and is doing with the NBA. http://www.nba.com/nba101/david_j_stern_bio.html
Writing a blog about business, or what I'm interested in going into isn't the most interesting thing on the internet these days. I mean why would anyone care about what I go into. But let me try an persuade you or I should say inform you about what I wanna do with my life.
I would say the thing I want to do most right now is to become a/an owner of a sports team, either professional or minor league. Or have a high manager position in one of those places.
Why? Because I have always have had a love for sports, and have always wanted to be around them for the rest of my life somehow, either for a job, or helpin out somewhere on a sports team.
As many of you know, there is a lot of money in the sports entertainment industry, so why not go into something where you love aspects of the job and can make a lot money doing it. I have always said it's not about the money, it's about doing what you love to do in life.
Tonight, January 21st, I went to the Visting Writers Series: Alex Lemon. He came in an told his story through some of the excerpts from his books. Alex probably read around 5 or 6 within the hour that he spoke. His story is an interesting one.
Coming from going to school in Minnesota and popping Vicodin with warm beer, to sitting in a hotel room with his mom at the age of 21 during Hurricane Flyod.
I found his writings to be kind of random, but when I sat there an listened longer to what he was saying, it all tied together.
I'm kinda new at this whole blogging world, but let me introduce myself, I'm Kyle and I'm a sophomore at Northwest Missouri State University, and for my English 112, we are required to write a blog about something that we are interested in or interested in doing for our careers. So since i'm a Marketing/Management major and wanting to go into sports management.
As you can probably guess that I am going to start bloggin' about the sports management world. Such as what owners do, how their organizations are ran, and different aspects of the sports owning world.
