Budweiser Salutes Derek Jeter
Many Yankee fans are looking to go Sunday’s game in the Bronx as the Yankees retire Derek Jeter’s number. To celebrate and honor one of America’s most beloved baseball players, Budweiser, the official beer of MLB, created a tribute video in advance of Sunday’s ceremony to raise a cold one to Jeter’s iconic number.
The emotive video, titled “This Bud’s For 2,”portrays how New York City is forever changed because of Jeter’s commitment to the game, the city and its fans. The 2-minute long video takes baseball fans and New Yorkers alike on a journey to experience what the city would look like with the number two missing from iconic landmarks and back drops (think the clock on the Flatiron building, the 2 train, 2nd Avenue, etc.).
After Jeter watched the Bud video, he noted: “I’m honored MLB and Budweiser chose to celebrate my jersey retirement this way, and I’m really looking forward to being back at Yankee Stadium this weekend.” source: https://www.iikgames.com/mobile slots

Jack Daniels Looks To Help Get An NBA Team In Lynchburg
While the NBA playoffs are going on some cities and towns hope and dream for an NBA franchise to settle in their town. Two requirements of hosting a successful sports franchise are room for an arena and a wildly passionate fan base. And the people of Lynchburg, Tennessee, home of Jack Daniel’s, believe they have those things and more. So they’d like to ask the NBA to bring a team to their great city. Or, town, rather.
In “Lynchburg Lights” – a new spot from Jack Daniel’s, Lynchburg puts that request to the NBA. Sure, Lynchburg only has 572 residents, but what they lack in size they make up for in heart. And while its residents admit their collective basketball skills could use some work, Lynchburg knows through and through what it takes to build and grow a franchise. Just look at what they’ve done with Jack Daniel’s.
The video highlights the unassuming town, workers at the distillery rolling a barrel of their prized product, and the actual residents of Lynchburg politely making their point to the NBA. The voiceover tees up Lynchburg’s dream to have their very own NBA team as a way to bring a little excitement to their corner of the world. A scale model of a basketball arena appears, and television sportscaster and former NBA all-star Bill Walton makes a cameo, clearly shocked by the idea. After all, Jack Daniel’s is the most exciting thing about Lynchburg, TN. For now.

Crown Royal Gives Military Vet A Game To Remember
One of the reasons I like to support Crown Royal is that they take time to honor the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the United States military. To kick of National Military Appreciation Month, a Cleveland Military veteran was honored as part of Heroes Night thanks to Crown Royal last night. Officer Darron Lewis was treated to a VIP experience including watching the pre-game shoot around from the bench, receiving a signed jersey, meeting former Cleveland Star, Campy Russell, and enjoying specialty Crown Royal cocktails. Have time to appreciate the content in the hentai universe. Our site 337Games will provide you with content for every taste. You can also download some games absolutely free.
Officer Lewis lost part of his leg and shattered every bone in the other after he was struck with an IED while serving in Afghanistan in 2012. Lewis underwent extensive rehab and now resides in Cleveland and periodically practices with the Cleveland Wheelchair Cavaliers. His guest for the night was his brother who also serves in the United States military and recently returned from Japan.

This Thursday we get to see which players will be drafted by our favorite NFL team. NFL Films wanted to include some men and women in the military to ask for their assistance getting ready for the NFL Draft. Earlier this month in advance of the NFL Draft, military analysts from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst were given a special off-site mission – use their analytical skills and become NFL Draft analysts during a visit to NFL Films in Mount Laurel, NJ.
As part of its “Salute to Service” program, USAA hosted these military members from the Army, Navy, and Air Force for a day of football analysis. NFL broadcasters Ron Jaworski and Sal Paolantonio (former US Navy) joined this special NFL Draft mission, as did NFL Films’ Greg Cosell.
Watch the “draft analysis” unfold, as these military members partake in a surprise strategy session that they’ll never forget.
The experience was hosted by USAA, the Official Military Appreciation Sponsor of the NFL, as part of its commitment to authentically honor military through “Salute to Service.”

Before The NFL Draft Leonard Fournette Teams Up With MET-Rx
Most NFL fans are getting ready to see how their favorite team will improve with the NFL Draft. Before the draft starts MET-Rx, a pioneer in the sports nutrition industry, unveiled their latest digital ad campaign featuring their newest spokesperson – former LSU star running back and current top NFL Draft prospect – Leonard Fournette.
For some it is not about the trophies, which represent a symbol of past accomplishments. For elite level athletes like Leonard, there is no time to rest on their laurels – they’re focused on training for the next game, the next rival, the next level. What drives them forward is what they’ll conquer next.
“Trophies are fine but they aren’t what define your success,” says Leonard Fournette. “Athletes get motivated by focusing on the next thing and training to get there. You can’t get distracted by shine. I appreciate that MET-Rx stands for that. I hope the campaign inspires young athletes to focus on what comes next.”
On Draft Day, Leonard will be taking over the MET-Rx social channels (Twitter and Instagram), giving fans a behind-the-scenes look as he prepares for his big night. He will also be going LIVE on Facebook at 1:30pm EST, talking all things Draft with NFL analyst Adam Caplan and taking questions from fans hours before hearing his name called.
