The Crimson Cavalier: An issue that won't go away
http://crimsoncavalier.blogspot.com/2010/09/issue-that-wont-go-away.html
A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. An issue that won't go away. Yesterday, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush- in one of the greatest you-can't-fire-me-I-quit moments in recent memory- forfeited the 2005 Heisman Trophy. This is only the latest in a long line of recent. I don't think it's anything but greed that's creating it right now on behalf of the agents," Saban said in a rant at the SEC media days...

A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Monday, October 1, 2012. The future of automotive transportation. While I spend a lot of time on this blog decrying the current. And political environment), I try my best to balance that cynicism with a fair amount of optimism about our future, especially where new technologies. Are concerned. If we can be courageous enough to allow for the breaking down of old paradigms. Google may want to leapfrog existing t...

A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Wednesday, January 23, 2013. I feel like I might have posted about these things before, but given my past blog posts. On the topic, I figured it was worth sharing either way. Via Barry Ritholtz. Comes a quick summary of these so-called "smart" highways. Which are scheduled to debut in the Netherlands later this year. Pretty cool stuff. From their own fact sheet.

The Crimson Cavalier: These stories are related...
http://crimsoncavalier.blogspot.com/2011/05/these-stories-are-related.html
A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Thursday, May 5, 2011. These stories are related. So I'll just post excerpts from both. First, from SportsBusiness Daily. For what it's worth, the judge did not grant similar motions from the NCAA to dismiss claims, so those cases are still pending. For now, it's just EA that gets a pass on the exploitation of athletes. The related article is from the Los Angeles Times. I think we're all making a bet on the fu...

The Crimson Cavalier: The NCAA and unintended consequences

A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Friday, January 4, 2013. The NCAA and unintended consequences. Earlier today, my attention was drawn. To a tweet from John Infante, a former NCAA compliance officer who writes the Bylaw Blog. For Athnet. I've written a fair amount. Before, so I thought this latest tidbit was worth sharing. In an article teased in his own tweet. 8212; John Infante (@John Infante) January 4, 2013. However, as usual. It wouldn't ...

A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. 100 Foods to Eat. My Facebook ticker has seemingly been blowing up lately with lists of things I need to do. 100 Places to Visit Before You Die! 100 Beers to Drink Before You Die! 100 Ex-Girlfriends to Apologize to Before You Die! As I expected, the list was indeed insanely arbitrary (Frito pie? 5 Bagel and Lox. 9 Birds Nest Soup. 10 Biscuits and Gravy. 18 Chicken and Waffles. New Ru...

The Crimson Cavalier: A.J. Green and the flawed concept of "amateurism"
http://crimsoncavalier.blogspot.com/2010/09/aj-green-and-flawed-concept-of.html
A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Thursday, September 9, 2010. AJ Green and the flawed concept of "amateurism". With college football now underway and the NFL season kicking off tonight, I couldn't be more excited (especially since football takes my mind off the Red Sox, who I hear are still playing baseball games. Good to know). But then along came the A.J. Green story. That'll be a cool $150. For selling one A.J. Green jersey to an a...But t...

The Crimson Cavalier: Maryland, Under Armour, and the Big 10
http://crimsoncavalier.blogspot.com/2012/11/maryland-under-armour-and-big-10.html
A trader's view on business, sports, finance, politics, The Simpsons, cartoons, bad journalism. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Maryland, Under Armour, and the Big 10. This is turning into a sports-heavy week, which is ironic given that in my first post yesterday. I said that we probably ascribe way too much importance to sports, since they're just a form of entertainment. But given some of the things. I felt that it was necessary to chime in on yesterday's decision by Maryland. There are any number of angle...
