Sunday Sermon: Can Athlete Sites Learn to ‘Feed the Beast’ with Content?
April 29, 2012 By Paul Kapustka
One of the recurring themes we are running into here at Mobile Sports Report is the content startup that wants to bring athletes and fans closer together. It's a great shared idea, since up-close, personal views, thoughts and slices from top atheletes' lives are what really drive the new connected fan. More than Twitter, more than Facebook is what these new sites promise. Sounds good and Read More>>

The NFL Draft Round 1 Was Quite an Event
April 27, 2012 By Paul Kapustka
I have to say that was some draft day, and it really did not follow the usual playbook of predictable picks with maybe one or two teams trading up for a better position. After the first two picks you could throw out your pick sheets. There were eight trades with teams rising and dropping on the big board, and it was all done very efficiently with no waiting around as team executives put their Read More>>

Virginia is for Lovers, and this weekend NASCAR
April 27, 2012 By Paul Kapustka
Last week’s run in Kansas resulted in a nice win by Denny Hamlin, his second of the year by passing Martin Truex Jr. on the 31st to last lap and then hanging on for the checkered flag. Truex hung on for second while the rest of the top five was filled out by Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle. Who would have believed that a little sunlight had that much of an effect on the race? For most of the Read More>>

MLB has teamed with Kinect Star Wars to present what it calls the “Ultimate Father-Son Sweepstake” in which participants can win a variety of prizes including a grand prize that includes 2 tickets to any 2012 MLB game and 2012 Opening Day game of their choice and a $200 MLB gift certificate. What strikes me as odd is that of course in Star Wars the father spends the bulk of three movies Read More>>

NHL expands Digital Presence for Stanley Cup Playoffs
April 26, 2012 By Paul Kapustka
We don’t talk that much about the NHL around here, we enjoy hockey but it does seem to generate less social media buzz than other sports, at least around the digital corners I hang out at. Still I found this piece from the Sports Business News interesting about hockey’s latest push into the digital market. I was surprised at how much activity the league has in regards to using social media for Read More>>

Watching Golf This Week: Bubba’s Back in NOLA
April 26, 2012 By Paul Kapustka
Has the feel-good aura of winning the green jacket already worn off? Or was Bubba Watson always something of a crank, and now we're just noticing because everyone is paying attention? The simmering story this week on the PGA Tour is that Bubba Watson is back playing in a somewhat minor event, which is surprising because tour stops like the Zurich Classic of New Orleans are the types the big dogs Read More>>

NFL Draft Tidbits and EA Curses
April 26, 2012 By Paul Kapustka
Have you ever wondered what it is like in a team’s War Room during the NFL Draft? Well Andrew Brandt at ESPN has put together what it was like at Green Bay when he was there. There is not much that a fan does not know, or thinks that they know about how a team operates its draft.
