Unequal Technologies Signs Michael Vick: 4 Other Disgraced Athletes Who Got Endorsement Deals
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsCorporate forgiveness, it seems, isn't always so hard to come by. Nearly a year and a half after being released from prison for running an illegal dogfighting ring, Michael Vick has landed an endorsement deal with Unequal Technologies. The sports equipment company is betting that Vick can entice people to think about its shock-blocking sports pads, rather than his much-maligned past. Although the terms have not been disclosed, CEO Rob Vito calls the deal "sizable." Whether a sizable number of American consumers disagree with commentator Tucker Carlson, who said Vick "should've been executed" ...
Michael Jordan Debunks Viral LeBron Video, World Rejoices
By Bethlehem Shoals - AOL NewsThe Information Age isn't the same as The Age of Lots of Facts. It's more like that pile of papers on your desk, or the mail pile you never bothered to sort. At first glance, you have no idea whether it contains a check for big money, or that receipt you need to find. And once you start digging, the feeling never really lets up. It's the Age of Stuff and we have been dulled accordingly. Some call it cynicism, but I prefer to think of it as burn-out, or fatigue. There's just too much info out there for us to invest any energy in tracking down, and clinging to, the truth. Whatever that is. ...
Miami Heat Fans, Players Revel in Opening Night Festivities
By Surya Fernandez - AOL NewsMIAMI -- The Scene Outside It's late October and thousands upon thousands of Miami fans are descending upon the town's hottest sports event. People are tailgating behind their parked cars as multiple scalpers and buyers do business. Yet this is all taking place in downtown Miami and not at Sun Life Stadium where that other prominent team does its business at this time of the year. With a planned protest near the arena by the city's policemen and firefighters that had threatened to snarl traffic in the area fizzling out and a tipoff time a half hour later than usual, most fans with a ticket ...
LeBron James' Nike Commercial Asks 'What Should I Do?'
By Bethlehem Shoals - AOL NewsIf you own the Internet, by now you have probably watched the new LeBron James/Nike/Wieden + Kennedy "sneaker ad". In case you haven't, do so after the jump. I've read several folks comparing this to a political image rehab ad. Except what's key to me, and what makes this ad so freakin' brilliant, is that it doesn't look to defend or disown the Summer of Bron. The spot's refrain, "what should I do?" is defiantly rhetorical -- not only does he not want your answer, the character (and maybe the real James) doesn't know if there is one. It's not that he's asking the world to "agree to disagree," ...
NYC Bedbugs Claim Another Victim: Flagship Nike Store
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsNike's flagship store on East 57th Street became the latest victim of New York City's bedbug crisis. The New York Post reports that the sneaker company closed its popular Manhattan Niketown Saturday when bedbugs were discovered. Nike said it hopes to reopen the store as soon as possible. "Our primary concern is the well being of our consumers and sales associates," Nike said in a statement. "We are taking all proper steps to eradicate the problem and we expect the store to reopen shortly." Numerous New York City stores have closed down due to bedbugs. Bedbugs are parasitic insects that ...
Source: LeBron James Plans Elaborate Free Agency Tour
By Sam Amick - AOL NewsLOS ANGELES -- In honor of LeBron James and his apparent insistence on being talked about during the NBA Finals, we interrupt coverage to share some free agency news about the league's King of hype. According to a source with first-hand knowledge of James' plans, the Larry King interview that was shot Tuesday and will air Friday on CNN was only the beginning of his elaborate scheme to draw unprecedented attention to his courting. James, according to the source, is in discussions with Nike to create a new shoe for every visit along his free agent path starting July 1. The shoes would have the ...
Mike Bellotti Leaves Oregon for ESPN
By Brian Grummell - AOL NewsFormer longtime Oregon football coach Mike Bellotti announced he will step down from his athletic director post at the school and will take a job with ESPN. The network says he will begin work as a college football analyst for them on April 17th. Bellotti has endured a tough 2010, terminating basketball coach Ernie Kent and having to put out the fires of a football program under scrutiny after several players were suspended or removed from the team for various antisocial misdeeds. Inevitably this is fueling speculation that Bellotti is looking towards a return to coaching in 2011 or 2012. Care ...
Air Jordan II: Soaring Swooshless
By Chris Sesno - AOL NewsFanHouse will be looking back at each Air Jordan shoe, from the first shoe that changed it all, to the present. By the start of the 1986-87 NBA season, Michael Jordan had established himself as a top-tier player in the league, but he still had much to prove. With their young star sidelined for much of the previous season with a foot injury, the '85-86 Bulls were a disappointment. It didn't look like they would even make the playoffs until Jordan returned for the final 15 games of the regular season to help Chicago (30-52) creep into the postseason. They got swept in the first round by Larry ...
Air Jordan: The Shoe That Changed It All
By Chris Sesno - AOL NewsFanHouse will be looking back at each Air Jordan shoe, from the first shoe that changed it all, to the present. Michael Jordan took the next step in his distinguished career on Saturday when he finalized a deal to buy the Charlotte Bobcats. While his success as an owner is yet to be seen, his dominance on the hardwood is undisputed. And 25 years ago, Jordan would change a game of a different nature -- shoes. When Jordan came into the league in the 1984 draft, the sneaker scene was dominated by adidas, Converse and Reebok. Most of the shoes were white with little or no decoration on them and ...
Woods' Apology Elicits Predictable Responses
By David Knowles - AOL News(Feb. 19) -- In the hours following Tiger Woods' choreographed apology for serial philandering, a slew of commentators, corporate executives and average Americans offered a range of opinions on the effectiveness of Woods' performance. The vast majority of them seemed as scripted as the nearly 15-minute apology itself. "Tiger has apologized and made his position clear," said Nike, one of Woods' biggest sponsors. "Nike fully supports him and his family. We look forward to him returning to golf." Just as eager to see Woods get back to winning golf tournaments, EA Sports President Peter Moore ...
