Being interviewed for the nightly news

A group of us from JWT were out to lunch at Champps today and FOX News interviewed a few of us about the current hullabaloo regarding Fantasy Football.

Apparently, four guys got fired from their job for participating in Fantasy Football at work. Their company has a strict policy against gambling (obviously NOT an advertising/marketing firm!) and these guys got terminated due to it. SUCKS to be them.

Anyway, I don’t play but certainly don’t see any harm in it as long as it doesn’t interfere with people getting their jobs done. So that’s what I told the news.

Will I get 15 seconds of fame (or even 5 seconds)? I don’t know – it was footage for the 4 o’clock news and I’ll be working — not watching tv!

I’ve been at RMG Connect for a couple of weeks now and I must say that I really like it.

There are several people that I now work with whom I’ve worked with in the past at companies such as Tribal DDB and SixtyFootSpider. I really like and respect these folks and it’s a real treat to be working with them again. (more…)
