Electronic Arts Extends Pat Angerer Jersey Important NFL Exclusivity Contract
Licensing exclusivity can be a major factor in video game success or failure. The right title, for instance, can drive customers to a console; just look at what Halo has done for the Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox platform or how Sony's (SNE) PS3 struggled early on without an equivalent "Tent Pole" title. Similarly, exclusive content licensing can help define, Pat Angerer Authentic Jersey or destroy, an individual title. Where would Guitar Hero be without the rights to use popular songs? What kind of draw would there be for a sports game without the rights to replicate pro teams and players?
Electronic Arts (ERTS) understands these equations as well as any game publisher. Good games are important. Good games tied to the right content licenses are http://www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-TRENT-RICHARDSON-JERSEY.html essential. As a result, Tuesday the Redwood City game publisher expanded their 3 year old contract with the NFL and the NFL Players Union (their existing contract had one year left).
Under the terms of the new deal, EA will retain exclusive rights to use NFL Teams, logos, player likenesses and stadiums in gaming products through Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
The Madden Football Franchise EA's will be the primary beneficiary of the license. Over its near twenty season lifespan, it has generated more than $2b in sales. The license will insure it remains the dominant NFL title for the next five.
The broader EA Sports division should also reap rewards. According to Forbes, EA Sports is the number five brand in sports behind powerhouses like ESPN. And, overall, in a given year, the sports division can account for as much as 40% of gross sales for the company. As CEO John Riccitiello noted in an interview (via WSJ) "Sports at EA are like the theme parks Andrew Luck Authentic Jersey at Disney. It's the coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-TY-HILTON-JERSEY.html heart."
The NFL deal, and other exclusive relationships (NASCAR, Andrew Luck Limited Jersey PGA Tour, FIFA and Arena Football) are at the foundation of the brand's strength. The exclusivity also makes it easier for Peter Moore's group to make long term investments without fear of competitive encroachment. Such investments might take the form of new/revised titles, new non simulation games, more casual gaming initiatives, and, also, increased innovation with online or console based dynamic gaming efforts.

The Browns finished tied for 27th in the NFL last season with 86.4 rushing yards per game after trading Trent Richardson to the Colts for this year's No. 26 overall pick.I think I can help the Browns with their running game,'' Hyde said at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

There was some games they struggled real bad running the ball, and in order to be successful in the league you have to run the ball. I feel like I can definitely help them out. Chris Canty Jersey is widely regarded as the best running back in the draft and figures to be the first one off the board. But the first back might not be taken until the second round for the second straight year."You (had) two big time backs in the Super Bowl playing,'' said Hyde. "You can just pass the ball the whole game. At one point, you have to hand the ball off to make the defense play the run. You start passing the whole game, the defense can just play off and interceptions that when that happens.''Hyde has Reggie Wayne Colts Jersey had to answer questions this season about his suspension for the first three games of the season in connection with an altercation with a woman at a bar.

Apple Now Worth More than Google and Microsoft Combined
Apple has a lot of money. This we know. However, the company passed a jaw dropping milestone this week that accurately illustrates just how much the Cupertino based company is actually worth. Apple shares Marlon Brown Jersey surged to an all time high yesterday, passing the $490 mark and closing at $493.17. This is up $16.49 from just one day previously and represents a 3.46 percent increase for the day. More interestingly, it pushed Apple's capitalization to just shy of $460 billion. This is more than rivals Microsoft and Google combined.
Fortune also points to a great blog called 'Things Apple is Worth More Than' over on Tumblr. So far, the blog lists: The global coffee industry ($70 billion per year); the Apollo space program, twice over ($145 $170 billion); the entire NFL, thirteen times (all of the teams combined are worth $33 billion); and all the gold at the New York Federal Reserve Bank (a massive 7,000 tonnes as Justin Tucker Authentic Jersey of last August for a total worth of $350 billion). Head over to Tumblr for more, or Fortune, which has also got it's own list going (theirs includes Sweden, which has a gross domestic product of $458 billion).
I can't see them www.officialfootballravensstore.com/WOMENS-CHRIS-CANTY-JERSEY.html slowing down www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-REGGIE-WAYNE-JERSEY.html any time soon. There is simply no single company that has anything that can stop them. Microsoft's Windows 8 is simply too late and will cost too much, corporate America is going to pass Marlon Brown Ravens Jersey on Windows tablets. Samsung has the best chance, but doesn't make any of the software they put on their devices, it's the opposite problem that Microsoft has. Google's Android was doing well until the iPhone came to Sprint, now the boring iPhone 4S is the number one selling Smart phone. What's gonna happen when they ship the iPhone 5? It's gonna be crazy!! Developers are buying Macs by the metric $H^ ton to produce a new Justin Tucker Limited Jersey wave of mobile apps for the iPad.
I think that Apple is at the beginning of a Dynasty that will last at least as long as the Microsoft dynasty that preceded it. I'll have to keep reading all silly posts on this site, it's gonna be fun.

I'm intrigued by what an offensive scheme like Baylor's could do in the NFL
Baylor football coach Art Briles joined FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman for an extended radio interview Monday to Matt Overton Colts Jersey talk about, among other things, his team's rise from Big 12 bottom feeder to national title contender. Here are some of the highlights:
On what his offensive philosophy is:
Briles: "I think that would be interesting. It's kind of intriguing to me because I think, as opposed to 20 years ago when there was always a trickle down effect, I think it's a trickle up effect now. I think everyone's trickling up from high school to college to the NFL, and that's why the games are getting more open and more exciting and more diverse. To me, as a guy that deals on the offensive side most of the time, I think it would be very exciting to get to the NFL level with this type of scheme and see what happens."
On if he will ever say, "I'd like to see how the offense works in the NFL" down the road:
Briles: "I don't think you ever say anything. The only thing I say that is I'm very honored and proud to be at Baylor and if you only lived once and you lived at Baylor, that's a pretty doggone good life so that's kind of the way I look at it. D'Qwell Jackson Limited Jersey But I do think when you look at it from a football standpoint and that's the way I look a things, Bruce, not from a personal standpoint or anything else but I think when you look at it from a football standpoint I think some of the things that we're doing now collegiately I think in the next four to eight years Matt Overton Authentic Jersey in the NFL, I think you'll see a lot more of it without question just because of the trickle up effect like I was talking about."
On what it would take to go up to the NFL:
Briles: "Honestly, Bruce, I hadn't even thought about it simply for the fact www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-KELVIN-SHEPPARD-JERSEY.html that I'm sitting here today trying to get ready D'Qwell Jackson Jersey to win our first game in 2014. So it's not anything that I've ever envisioned or something that I would say, 'it would need to be this or that.' My deal is I feel like the most fortunate guy in the history www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-HAKEEM-NICKS-JERSEY.html of the game being able to be the head coach of the Baylor Bears right now."
On how much he'd want to get to take a shot at an SEC team in playoff:
Briles: "I don't know about a shot at an SEC team. We get shots at Big 12 teams all the time. I don't see much difference in whatever happens. I mean, SEC, Big 12, Pac 12, ACC whoever's in that playoffs, who we end up hopefully getting an opportunity to play. They may be wanting to get a shot at the Big 12. You never know."
