Won’t this be fun?
Google Inc.’s YouTube said it’s in talks with the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League to broadcast live games….
In January 2010, YouTube struck a two-year deal to live stream the Indian Premier League Cricket Tournament.
I’m all for the availability of another outlet to watch my NBA and NHL games and I can’t wait to see how these possible deals unfold. Those pricey subscription-based sports packages need some competition.

Michael Jordan turns 48 today. Here are a few of his most memorable and meaningful quotes…..
“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”
“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”

Atlanta Falcons Could Add Star Power To The Owners Box
If all goes well in negotiations, the Miami Dolphins won’t be the only team with “step and repeat” to the owners box. Gloria Estefan and the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, are among the celebs that can call themselves pro sports franchise owners.

Its now being reported that Rocker Jon Bon Jovi is in talks to do a deal with Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank to for a minority stake in the team. The deal could be 150 smackaroos. Its a great PR move for the Falcons franchise if it happens. (Source)
I like the idea of NFL games having more star power, something akin to court side at NBA games. Certainly, a team in Los Angeles would net that type of special attendance. You hear that Roger Goodell? Expedite.
