David Stern

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

Cause' the World's Gotta Know.


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.

Poet who knows how to Flow it.

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.

Overall it was a good Extra Credit Opportunity.

Allow me to introduce myself.....

Hey Everyone,

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.
