With the Olympic Games happening at venues all over Beijing, this isn't surprising, but it certainly is new. In the past, sports were rarely brought up around the proverbial office water cooler.

Published: August 15, 2008
Recently I got a call from a major client. "We'd like to get more of our vendors certified as women-owned businesses," she said. "It will be good for both of us." I thanked her but inwardly cringed. The V-word.

Li Ning has been almost unanimously crowned the king of the Olympic ambush marketers, but in one case, the Chinese sportswear company's efforts appear to have publicly backfired. The Chinese sportswear company created a promotional photo of the Spanish Olympic basketball team, with the players all posed, in uniforms sponsored by Li Ning, with their eyes narrowed in a caricature of Chinese facial characteristics.

MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) -- So it turns out parts of the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony were fake. No worries, because the compelling competition is real -- providing all the drama, reality and, yes, even comedy that have been missing in network TV's lost season of 2007/08. Viewers have responded resoundingly, giving NBC, network TV and the Olympic movement itself media momentum so badly needed for all three entities.

Radio Alert: It's Now Mike Minus Mad Dog
Published: August 15, 2008
Radio Alert: It's Now Mike Minus Mad Dog The New York Times reports on the abrupt departure of Chris Russo from the popular WFAN show "Mike and the Mad Dog." The show will now be known as "Francesca on the FAN", referring to co-host Mike Francesca. The duo had worked together for almost 19 years. There had been speculation that either Russo or Francesa might not work through the end of his current contract. Russo and his agent, Sandy Montag, were negotiating a possible extension beyond the March expiration of his contract. But Russo, who said he had no other job waiting for him, was unwilling to commit to five more years and WFAN officials needed to plan for the post-Labor Day period, when the football season starts and the baseball pennant races and postseason heat up. Russo's departure is the second time in little more than a year that one of the station's stars has left: Don Imus's long-running show was canceled by CBS, which owns WFAN, after he made racially insensitive remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team in April 2007.
