How has Brock Bowers fared through 5 games this season compared to his first 2 seasons at #UGA?

Also, a deeper look at .@GeorgiaFootball's rushing totals compared to its opponents under Kirby Smart

The number of caveats in this deal are actually kind of comical. Almost makes it totally not worth it to even consider it. I like the idea, just not sure I could tolerate the level of bare-bones flying that they offer. https://t.co/rJI9ToMn8C

This year's World Cup has provided quite a bit of fodder for PR professionals. I'm expecting these stories to continue throughout the tournament.

The news surrounding Twitter is such a mess right now. Of course, they're debuting a feature that nobody actually asked for and seems like a waste of money.

Really great gesture here by the Texas women's basketball team, demonstrating great compassion and awareness. Will be one small step on the road to helping the Uvalde community heal.

Texas Women's Basketball will host a charity exhibition game to help build a new school in Uvalde.

Head coach Vic Schaefer will also donate $1,000 for every 1,000 fans who attend the game, set for Sunday against DePaul.

If Elon buys Twitter, which seemingly will happen, the platform will probably drastically change. Just seems to me like it's bound to be mostly negative changes and make the platform even more of a cesspool than it already is.

Very interesting video about perhaps the top consulting and PR firm there is. A video like this will hardly make a huge difference, but it's good to still try and see what's going on here. And kudos to these journalists trying to pull back the veil.

A bit of a PR disaster is ongoing for Brett Favre, who is accused of being involved in the largest corruption case in Mississippi's history.

Was watching some baseball over the weekend and noticed some people with creepy smiles behind home plate. Turns out it was basically a PR move for an upcoming movie. Certainly an interesting idea, if not a little creepy!

[Sports Illustrated @SInow]

If you were watching a baseball game last night, you might’ve noticed someone behind home plate who couldn’t stop smiling in a very creepy fashion.

As it turns out, that was not a coincidence https://t.co/9XMp6LH7aL

ESPN is launching a platform for up and coming content creators. It's an interesting move for a large media company to dip their toes into more of an "outreach" approach. It reminds me of citizen journalism. I'm curious how it'll improve their image and reach new audiences

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

ESPN is launching ESPN Creator Network, a program for up-and-coming content creators.

The first iteration will provide 10 creators with up-close access to ESPN’s sports properties and resources.

@DougGreenberg's exclusive has details ⤵️

Pretty good article explaining how the NFL, a league that always seems to have some sort of crisis, manages to be so popular no matter what. One thing that the writer didn't factor in, however, is betting. Many people watch because of the wagering aspect.

Since the World Cup was announced to be in Qatar, there's been a discussion about the country's human rights record and what that means for the athletes and sponsors who's job it is to promote the game. Expect to hear more about this as we get closer

It's almost the fall, so it's time for perhaps the most effective annual #PublicRelations campaign there is...the Starbucks pumpkin spice craze. Few companies can drum up the hype on a yearly basis quite like Starbucks can.

Wildfires can have a huge impact on people's livelihoods and I feel like one thing that's not talked about is that it's not just people's homes that can burn...it's also people's crops and livestock which is also important.

This seems like a really good idea to get people (especially young people) engaged with pieces of our culture that need to be preserved and how classic movies have impacted our lives.

More evidence on how the war in Ukraine is mobilizing nonprofits to meet the humanitarian crisis. A nonprofit here is looking to get 100k Americans to sponsor Ukrainian refugees.

Something I wish local governments could understand more....one way to reduce poverty is to give people access to what they actually need (i.e food). A Dallas nonprofit did this in one neighborhood and crime decreased.

Great story of how a Maine nonprofit uses social media to get people exactly what they need. They use Facebook and Instagram to reach out to see what items are in demand at any given time.

Tweeted about this organization a few times this semester. Brutal to see them get hit by a missile. It's not like they are active combatants....they are helping people. Let's hope they continue cooking.

It's great that people are getting together to talk & listen, which is something that doesn't happen much. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I doubt that one workshop will change people. Seems like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound
