One Tall Drink of Water
In the world of PR, it doesn’t get much better than a cool celeb becoming a fan of your clients gear. The only way that gets better is if the celeb promoting your gear is all 6ft 9 good lookin’ inches of UNC’s Tyler Hansbrough.
Throughout the past few months, I have been proud to see Tyler carrying his Klean Kanteen to all the games in the NCAA tournament. This week he took home the championship, and in this interview for ACC’s Court Vision, he explains why it’s his bottle of choice.
Thanks Tyler. And if you need some more bottles for the NBA, (or a tour guide in Jackson Hole) gimme a shout.

States Choose Official State Sport
In a recent article featured in the Battleboro Reformer, Chris Garofolo reported that Vermont wants to make snowboarding the official state sport – a piece of legislation introduced by students from Swanton Central School. Other states such as Colorado and New Hampshire already have official state sports. No surprise, Jake Burton Carpenter, founder of VT-based Burton Snowboards, is a proponent of the bill. According to Carpenter, he’s “ecstatic” and “can’t think of a better way to promote activity throughout the world.” The bill is currently stalled in the state legislation due to more pressing concerns.
I realize the significance of state’s being assigned with a bird or flower, but why do we feel it’s necessary for a state to identify itself to a specific sport? I’m from Maine, so would lobstering be considered the official state sport?
