J E T S — Despair for Fans, Lessons for Communicators

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Some of Doug’s Vlog Views:

1. The choice to be evasive damaged the team’s relationship with fans and players.

2. Firing Mangini was probably a cover for the failed decision to get Brett Favre and dump Pennington. Of course my view might change if they hire Bill Cowher.

Should I Defend Blagojevich?

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Some of Doug’s Vlog Views:

1) The Wall Street Journal notes it might be difficult to convict Blagojevich.

2) Was Blagojevich’s crime the action itself or the lack of subtlety and class with which he went about it?

3) Is this different than Obama’s helping Hillary retire her campaign debt and offering her the Secretary of State position in return for her support?

4) Blagojevich should be arrested for still wearing his 1970s haircut.
