This was a big sports weekend. Baseball playoffs going (let’s go Yankees), the NFL is heating up, NASCAR is halfway through its championship series of races, college football is getting interesting (Michigan wins it all in 2010 – you’ll see!), The President’s Cup was contested (and was closer than the results would have you think), the US qualified for The World Cup, and the NHL is back in action. As I was watching almost all of the aforementioned sporting activity (now you know why I work in sports!), I got to thinking about one guy who is common to each of those teams. Nope, not the fan, although we OUGHT to be front and center on each of them. I have another guy in mind. Continue reading

I know I don’t usually post on the weekend but a thought just hit me and it will be less relevant on Monday. Well, not less relevant but less timely!
The NFL Conference Championship games this weekend are interesting from a business perspective, at least to me. The two conferences set up a Super Bowl that will feature a young QB from the AFC vs. an older one from the NFL. The Championship games remove that element (OK, less so in the AFC – Ben has a bit more experience) from the mix. I’ve always felt that the advantage the older QB’s have in experience – reading coverages, adjusting on the field – outweighs the physical advantages the younger guys have – beating you with arm strength and speed.
What do you think? AFC or NFC? Experience vs. strength? Natch, this old guy thinks experience wins most of the time! I make the same choice in business – give me experience and smarts. Enjoy the games!
