    Two-Time Super Bowl Mvp Tom Brady And Emmy-Winning Broadcaster John Madden 'Call The Plays' For SIRIUS Satellite Radio Campaign Breaks August 2 To Promote NFL Sunday Drive, SIRIUS’Comprehensive Play-By-Play Package Two-Time Super Bowl Mvp Tom Brady And Emmy-Winning Broadcaster John Madden ‘Call The Plays’ For Sirius Satellite Radio NEW YORK, August 2, 2004 – Super Bowl MVP quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots is teaming up with 14- time EMMY Award-winning football analyst John Madden in a new ad campaign for SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI), the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the NFL. The campaign will officially debut on August 2. The SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive campaign, including television, radio and print ads will run on a variety of NFL and sports media all the way through the post-season. The humorous television spot, titled “Breaking News,”features Brady in his car showing off his SIRIUS receiver to Madden. Brady’s real-life wide receivers, Deion Branch, Troy Brown and David Givens appear in the spot, bewildered at Madden’s “breaking news”that a SIRIUS Satellite Radio is Brady’s “new favorite receiver.” The ad campaign promotes SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, the new programming package that lets subscribers choose from a full slate of live radio game broadcasts from around the NFL each Sunday. SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive complements SIRIUS NFL Radio – the only 24/7/365 channel dedicated exclusively to pro football – launching on August 2. “This campaign will highlight SIRIUS’ unique ability to broadcast the entire NFL every week through SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, as well as show the ease and flexibility of satellite radio,”said Mary Pat Ryan, Executive Vice President of Marketing, SIRIUS.

    Central Michigan University From the SelectedWorks of Adam Epstein Fall 2013 Surveying Colorado Sports Law Adam Epstein, Central Michigan University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/adam_epstein/31/ Surveying Colorado Sports Law by Adam Epstein* Introduction The purpose of this article is to provide an overview and explore some of the major sports law cases that have emanated from within the four corners of the state of Colorado or maneuvered through Denver’s Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.1 With a population of just over five million people, the twenty-second most populous in the United States, it is apparent that Colorado has had an impact on the discussion of sports law at the national level rivaling more populous states.2 Also known as the Centennial State, having been admitted to the Union in 1876, Coloradans have the luxury of volumes of ski slopes, vivid and mountainous landscapes, and the state boasts numerous nationally prominent colleges and universities, including those with premier sports teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Division I, such as the University of Colorado (Boulder), Colorado State University (Fort Collins), the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs), the University of Denver, and most recently the University of Northern Colorado (Greeley).3 * Professor, Department of Finance and Law, Central Michigan University. 1 The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit is comprised of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. It is based in Denver. See The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/ (last visited July 11, 2012).
