@tangoldman Another incredibly interesting circulation history is how baseball went from newspapers, to radio reenactments, to now, live and on-demand games/storylines. If you do a segment/unit on it, you will find some interesting ties to other areas of entertainment.

An article I published with Tim Ryan in 'Findings in Sport, Hospitality, Entertainment, and Event Management' about Disney's and Nickelodeon's alternative broadcasts of live sports games to attract consumers like the 'Toy Story Funday Football' game.

(2) I once made a mistake at an event, angering the sponsor. Very upset, I spoke with Dr Irwin about it and was worried I had disappointed him. He shared a story about a mistake he once made and gave me confidence to learn and move forward. I will always remember his kindness.

[Cody Havard @chavardphd]

Dr. Dick Irwin was someone that I always looked up to, and I was thrilled when I got the @uofmemphis offer that I would be able to work with him. Learning from him has been a highlight of my career. He will be missed very much. (1 of 2)

It’s end of semester and finals time, so I humbly present for your consideration ‘Opportunity’! 🙂

Extra points to anyone that can point out any of the 10 references from sport/non-sport movies, and even a couple real coaches quotes.
Please share!
