I can't claim I haven't done this before—jumped at "breaking" news that turned out to be a little older than I'd thought—but a reminder of exactly why the sports marketing beat matters: https://t.co/urRbJkWPFa

NFL announced that it is entering into a multi-year deal with @Crocs. More information on what

One day there might be no social for yours truly. Until that day, you can find me here: https://t.co/eP95RLnuyc

@LaverneNsh1rley @WadeWilliam11 @hillsboroherald @KeepHopsHonest @HillsboroNT Funny, the Hops issue “press” passes to “blogs” like The I-5 Corridor constantly… so they clearly feel bloggers are journalists. And Dirk is ALSO a realtor. Hillsboro politicians hold multiple jobs, yet nobody considers them less for earning a living.

@evanempdx @NateTidwell86 Do you mean 5:35's "...other potential franchises?" https://t.co/qlEo6Uf99L

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@NateTidwell86 Not that I've heard, but my conversations with Zoominfo tend to be more B2B than WNBA. Philly's on the W's shortlist, though that arena situation makes me wonder. Nashville's also on the list, but that might be wishful thinking.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@writeo @kipkesgard That may be true. Just took Laura up on getting it through her work this week.

@SudsSister @TheSudra Smaller, but fun and all vegan. It's worth your time.

@Beervana @intothebrew @beercruncher @camerondieter The silence that followed the postponement of a fresh-hop festival had me a bit nervous. But seeing the glut of fresh hop at Noble Hop yesterday (in cans, no less) and that @BaleBreaker/@RussianRiverBC collab revived the spirits a bit. But the fresh/wet debate does the heart good

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@Beervana @intothebrew @beercruncher @camerondieter As long as this debate persists, these beers are in good shape.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@KPMemberService Your doctor is coming up on an hour late to this appointment, FYI.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@KPMemberService Chris, who do you think I've been on the phone with as this blank Zoom screen keeps sitting in front of me? Brenda's had me on hold for a few minutes now.

@kipkesgard Was hoping Kaiser could get it together and act like a healthcare provider through all of this, but if it’s just a matter of deciding whose traveling nurses are administering vaccine (PS, that’s who Kaiser has on flu) may as well go to the unpopular Safeway near my home office

@skywaker9 @portugaltheman RFK never has a dull story.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@skywaker9 @portugaltheman Let me date myself a bit here: I've only seen games at the old Giants Stadium, and even then whatever bad tickets were thrown at us. When I worked for the Herald-News, they brought us to a then-MetroStars game and sat us in the Bergen Record box. Different universe.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@skywaker9 @portugaltheman The press boxes for the MLB All-Star Game this year were on one of the club levels at T-Mobile. The lack of lines for everything, the readily available phone chargers, the screens above the seats, the cushier seats... those people were living.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@skywaker9 @portugaltheman I split a Boston Bruins mini season ticket package with my father during one of their down seasons in the mid-2000s. We were in club seats after years of being in the upper reaches of MSG and Meadowlands Arena. It's worth the upgrade.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@skywaker9 @portugaltheman Not to mention companies that like to send clients to major concerts like this. I went from seeing no sports suites in this region to the PP and T-Mobile Park suites in a year. PP's are no slouches.

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@skywaker9 It's true: Foo Fighters were never coming to Tonk 2, but if your draw is the novelty of seeing a show in an outdoor sports venue here, it's a steep dropoff from Providence Park to the next option. And Walker Stadium already loves @portugaltheman

[Jason Notte @Notteham]

@skywaker9 Fans can already see USWNT players play regular season games for the price of a minor-league baseball ticket and take their family there on the train. You make the place even a novelty concert venue and you're disincentivizing the drive completely.
