    College Sports (MM #5412)
    2026/01/15
    If you’re a college sports fan, for decades, you’ve likely followed the story of whether to pay the athletes. Of course, everything changed just a couple of years ago, and now student athletes can sometimes be paid up to half a million per year to play a sport. Of course, the majority of those players are men and played football or basketball. But the effect of this money has changed the two primary sports in different ways. Basketball players rarely stay in college, let alone the same college for more than a year. In football, some players move from school to school, while others don’t want to leave at all...

    Keep Scrolling (MM #5411)
    2026/01/14
    If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time on social media. Perhaps too much. And one of the hassles of social media is all the ads we see in our feeds. But do you ever feel inclined to comment on an ad that you don’t care about? In my work for my social clients, I see this every day. Many people keep scrolling, but lately I see more people stopping and leaving nasty comments. It really has nothing to do with the ad or the product; it’s usually just trying to get people into an argument. When we watch TV, we experience ads all the time. And most people either change the channel or ignore them. But on social media, it's much different...

  • Official Sponsor (MM #5410)

    Official Sponsor (MM #5410)
    2026/01/13
    Because of my media and marketing background, I tend to view life through a 'commercial' lens. I sometimes pay more attention to the ads and promotional announcements than to the TV show or the performance on the field. I’m a long-time NASCAR fan and understand the unique way the sport has tried to create promotional opportunities. They’ve always placed sponsor logos on everything. In recent years, the NBA has added sponsor logos to its jerseys. And I’ve always been amused by something that becomes the official sponsor of a sport, a team, or an event. But I sometimes think we go overboard with all of these sponsorships...

  • Wild Card (MM #5409)

    Wild Card (MM #5409)
    2026/01/12
    The first round of the NFL playoffs wrapped up tonight. It’s called the Wild Card round. And that rubs me the wrong way. While yes, every wildcard team plays, so do the majority of division-winning teams. I understand branding and marketing. I’ve been involved with that almost my entire life. So I understand why they have a name. I don’t know why it’s the wild card. In baseball, the wildcard round only involves those teams that didn’t win the division. Perhaps there’s a better name for this first round of the playoffs. Next week, it’s the divisional round, which makes a little more sense...

  • Stop For Coffee (MM #5408)

    Stop For Coffee (MM #5408)
    2026/01/11
    I’ve had a long fascination with coffee drinkers. I only drink casually, usually as an after-dinner beverage, if I drink any at all. Unlike most people, I don’t start my day with a cup, or two, or three. But yesterday, as we were driving down the road, I noticed a new Starbucks, less than a half mile north of another one. Same road, but at least they’re on separate sides of the street. But what fascinates me is when you stop for coffee, how do you know which brand to try? Is it trial and error? These days, we have so many options from convenience stores to donut shops to places that are specialists. People have so many choices...

    Good Burger (MM #5407)
    2026/01/10
    There’s a big difference between a good burger and a great burger. For many, myself included, hamburgers have been a staple of my diet since I was a youngster. Back in the day, they were cheap and easy meals. Everybody knows some of the first fast-food restaurants were hamburger joints. One of the West Coast‘s favorite burgers is from In-N-Out Burger. They recently opened their first locations here in Middletown, Tennessee. And many people were excited. They were so thrilled, they stood in line for hours to grab an Animal-style Double-Double. I'll wait a while before I give them a try...

    Check Cashing (MM #5406)
    2026/01/09
    Everyone knows that Nashville is growing. It’s been growing rapidly for the last 20 years. And it’s still moving at a quick pace. But as the city grows, businesses sometimes struggle. Honestly, it’s hard to keep up with the companies that come and go in this town. For a long time, there was a running joke that when a business closed, it was often replaced by a check cashing store, a vape shop, or a mattress store. There seem to be more of those than convenience stores in this town, but not really. But recently, a new category of store has joined the business-replacement craze. Now it looks like CBD stores are popping up on every corner, too...

    Dry Cleaners (MM #5405)
    2026/01/08
    Have you noticed that there aren’t as many dry cleaners in town as there used to be? I realize, as trends come and go, businesses can be affected by those changes. Years ago, people wore suits and ties to the office. And for those who could dress a little bit more casually, it was a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt. But those times are long gone. And the pandemic made the change even more finite. Now, everyone dresses casually or works from home. And when you do that, how you dress doesn’t matter. I need to get a few of my sweaters dry-cleaned, but I realized they're hard to find these days...
