I landed in Miami after an extensive trip (12+ hours) and the weather is awesome. I’m here for the 2008 NBA Marketing Meetings. All the team gather with the league to share best practices about marketing basketball. I went last year to New Orleans and it was pretty cool…

This year, we started with a formal meeting where all the teams representatives hung in their own little groups and talked amongst themselves. It was cool cause in our little huddle was Greg. As in Greg Oden. He came down to be on a panel with some of the all time greats…

I would never… repeat NEVER watch a Virgina Commonwealth football game.

I am a fan of Colin Cowherd,…

Yes, a lot is going on. Launching social network (we’re at half our goal for fan sign-ups in 10 days), a win streak (2 games, trying to make it 3 tonight, does that constitute a streak?), a trade (former Duck Freddie Jones for Juan Dixon) and the normal game stuff we have going on… it’s Friday and time for Portland Coffee.
