Gatorade Spokesman Endorses Red Bull
In last night's 99-91 victory by the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Milwaukee Bucks, Kevin Garnett went nuts. He missed 8 1/2 minutes of playing time in order to get six stitches on his chin. But when he returned, he scored 10 straight points that proved to be the end for the Bucks. So to what does Garnett owe his burst of energy to? Gatorade, of course. "Sometimes the Gatorade works like Red Bull for me. You put sugar on top of sugar on top of sugar ... and I've already got sugar inside of me and it's like espresso." Sounds like a pretty innocuous quote, right? Until you read it as if you were an 18-year-old kid looking for energy in your next sporting event. If Gatorade sometimes works like Red Bull, why wouldn't you just use Red Bull every time? Gatorade is having to battle it out with the energy drinks in the locker rooms. The people at Gatorade can't control everything that comes out of the mouths of their endorsers, but as a Gatorade spokesman, Garnett should be careful with how he phrases things. On a side note, this isn't the first time he's attributed his game performance to Gatorade. After losing to the New Jersey Nets in March, he told a reporter that his lackluster play was due to "too much coffee and Gatorade." At the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, where Garnett won the MVP, he said, "I thought I drank too much Gatorade in the beginning."

It was the best first-day gain for a company that opened on the exchange since a firm named Transmeta opened five years ago. Despite the fact that many analysts called the current price overvalued, Under Armour rose again Monday to $26.18.

Imagine the advantage that future business leaders would have if they had the chance to develop business skills early on in their education. I think it's never too early to introduce students to business concepts. High school would be the perfect place to start. Read more about "The Donald's" view on Business education here.
