Teaser Post: What's Coming, Why it Hasn't Come Yet and Some Other Goodies

Sorry for the almost 10 day gap (eep) between posts. I graduate from college this december (two weeks away? oh dear) and am currently powering through several final projects, extracurricular projects (OntheBall...) and another little thing: my Senior Thesis. BUT I've been working on some goodies that I will send your way as soon as soon as they're done in the upcoming weeks (deadlines deadlines deadlines) and figured it was better to finish those than throw out a half-hearted blog post.

Freedom Is...An Advertising Campaign with a Bold Purpose and Lackluster Execution


Digressing away from the Lambert issue for a moment (I will get back to it and post about the social media soon, I promise) lets check out the newest "hot topic" in my Twitter-verse. The Washington Freedom unveiled a new advertising campaign this morning called "Freedom Is..." They've posted a Bill of Rights and are placing ads in the Washington Post (circulation of +600,000 daily, +900,000 on Sundays and it's a nationally recognized paper).

So women's soccer is physical. Why is that such a bad thing? Eyes on Elizabeth Lambert and her BYU beatdown

I have been debating what to start this blog with. I've got the On the Ball Facebook Fan page for facts and friendly conversations. I have Twitter for keeping in the WPS and women's soccer loop (and contributing to the loop). And, of course, there is the On the Ball TV Show to discuss the inaugural WPS season and talk with some WPS players. So what did that leave for a blog?
