  • 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Joe Burrow, LSU
    2020 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT JANUARY 15, 2020 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Joe Burrow, LSU *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. Is there anyone speaking out against Joe Burrow as a top QB prospect? Does anyone even doubt that he’s the #1 pick in the draft (not necessarily admitting he’s the best player, just that he will be the #1 pick)? So, what more could I add to the Burrow lovefest of 2020? If I say that I’m very much a Burrow fan for the next level, pro-Burrow as a scout – well then there’s some intrigue taken out of this report already. Just another guy singing Burrow’s praises, big deal! However, despite any desire I might have to surprise you with a controversial take on Burrow, I’m just not finding any reason for a controversial, contrarian call for him as a bust. Not at all. The only real intrigue remaining with Burrow, for scouts and fans – just how good is Joe Burrow? As I was researching background for this report, I was watching some media segments and commentary, post-National Title game. One that caught my eye/ear was Colin Cowherd trying to classify/comp Burrow. He had top CFB analyst Joel Klatt on his show, and Klatt, in full seriousness, compared Burrow to Joe Montana… which makes some sense the more you think of it. The following day, on his show, Cowherd compared Burrow to Tony Romo…a quarterback Colin holds in high regard, so it was a nice comp, even if not quite as glowing as Klatt’s Montana call.

  • Heisman Trivia
    Heisman Trivia HEISMAN.COM @HEISMANTROPHY 318 Did you know...? Some Facts about the Heisman Trophy • Designed by sculptor Frank Eliscu in 1934, the Heisman Trivia Trophy is modeled after Ed Smith, Eliscu’s former high school classmate and star running back for the now defunct New York University football team. • Regarding the Heisman Memorial Trophy, Frank Eliscu said, "It is not my best work but it turned out to be something like the Statue of Liberty. I always thought it was wonderful that I'll be able to leave something like this behind." Eliscu continued working until he passed away from a heart attack in 1996. • The trophy is made of cast bronze, stands 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) tall and weighs 25 pounds (11.3 kg). • The first Heisman Trophy was awarded to Chicago’s Jay Berwanger in 1935. Initially, it was known then as the Down- town Athletic Club Award. After John Heisman, the legend- ary college coach and DAC athletics director, succumbed to pneumonia in 1936, the award was renamed in his honor. • Initially, the Downtown Athletic Club Award was given to, "the best college football player, east of the Mississippi." Once the award was renamed the Heisman Trophy, the geographical limitations were removed and players of all col- leges, from coast to coast, were eligible to win the award. • In 1935 Jay Berwanger did not have any room in his home for the trophy and gave it to his Aunt. Berwanger’s aunt was not familiar with college football and did not realize that the trophy meant her nephew was the best player in college football, so she used it as an extravagant doorstop.

  • SHAKEN-Sneak-Peek-1.Pdf
    Praise for Shaken “Tim Tebow is not an athlete—athlete is what Tim fills in on his tax return. That does not begin to tell the story of who he is. Tim is a role model, an inspiration to those who have a dream and are willing to accept life as a jour- ney full of ups and downs.” — Jon Bon Jovi, singer- songwriter “Shaken shows us a side of Tim Tebow that we’ve never gotten to see before. In this book, Tim comes alongside his reader and says, ‘I’ve been there too,’ and proceeds to show us how God is faithful even when our entire lives feel shaken to the core.” — Mark Batterson, pastor and New York Times best- selling author of The Circle Maker “Tim is a remarkable example of one who combines strength and boldness with kindness and compassion, and I’m always encouraged to hear of how he is using his tremendous platform to share the love and truth of our Lord with those who need it most.” —Ravi Zacharias, apologist, author, and president of RZIM “Tim has always inspired me with his dedication to grow and improve in all aspects of life, especially his faith. With this book, Tim encourages readers to keep moving and stay strong while battling life’s obstacles.” — Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers “Whether or not you’ve followed Tim’s career, Shaken speaks to something we’ve all had to deal with— trusting God when the plans for our lives don’t work out as we expected.

This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Innovative Marketing, Volume 7, Issue 1, 2011 Mark E. Moore (USA), Chris Keller (USA), James E. Zemanek, Jr. (USA) The marketing revolution of Tim Tebow: a celebrity endorsement case study Abstract American professional football player Tim Tebow is quickly becoming a premier product endorser in the corporate sector. Mr. Tebow is generally regarded as one of the best college athletes of his time, noted for his performance, posi- tive leadership, character, and personal religious beliefs. Since ending his collegiate career and prior to any actual pro- fessional accomplishments, Mr. Tebow has both secured and demurred large brand endorsement contracts. These suc- cessful brand endorsements have been generally aligned with Mr. Tebow’s character as opposed to specifically aligned with Mr. Tebow’s accomplishments. This case study examines his marketing success from a consumer bonding theo- retical approach. To conduct this examination, an array of documents was assessed and the results indicated that image congruency between the product and endorser evoked the consumer bonding levels. Findings also communicated that consumer bonding of Tebow with his consumer base is derived through a sequence of bonding levels and that Tebow, as a celebrity spokesperson, is influencing the behaviors of customers.

INTRODUCTION On the night of March 26, 1979, a truly momentous event captured the imagination of Americans and unexpectedly forced its way into millions of homes nationwide.1 This television occasion failed to involve royalty, politicians, or even a critically-acclaimed scripted television program, but instead focused the spotlight onto a couple dozen college students.2 Taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, basketball teams representing Michigan State University and Indiana State University, featuring two players not yet known simply as “Magic”3 and “Larry Legend,”4 squared off for the 1979 * New York Attorney, Katz & Rychik, P.C.; J.D. 2015, Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University; B.S. 2012, Villanova University School of Business.
