SENNA and ESPN Films 30 for 30 Blu-Ray Giveaway
Sports documentaries are usually super hit or miss. Some just fill the air with simple storytelling and a type of play-by-play chronicling that comes across as uninspired as a bottom ticker update. Other sports documentaries just really get to you, man. Like goose bumps, I-can’t-believe-that-really-happened-style get to you. SENNA definitely falls in the latter category. The film is a study of the life of famous F1 racer Ayrton Senna. It’s already won awards at Sundance and the LA Film Festival. SENNA is setting box office records in the UK and it’s generating some real energy here in the States. Here’s the trailer:
The film hasn’t reached its full release yet. It’s already playing in New York, LA, DC, San Francisco, Berkeley, Irvine, San Rafael, Cambridge, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, Miami and Philly. Here are the remaining release dates:

To celebrate the theatrical release of SENNA, ESPN Films has provided us with three Blu-ray sets of their 30 for 30 Series to give away to three lucky readers. Each set is valued at $74.99. Here’s a full list of all the titles:

Newcastle Brown Ale Giveaway
I don’t always drink beer. Actually, yes I do. All the time. And nine times out of ten, Newcastle’s the beer I reach for. In just about any beer drinking situation, nothing beats a Newkie Brown in a tall, frosted mug. It’s got the dark nutty flavor with the not-so-heavy impact. And the Summer Ale’s not so bad either.
In a competitive ale market, Newcastle’s trying to get the word out by launching their first ever commercial campaign. Here’s one of the spots:
We chatted with Charles van Es, Brand Director for Newcastle Brown Ale, about the new campaign, Newcastle’s roots and the new line of Newcastle brew options:
MANjr: Why did it take so long for Newcastle to put out their first ever TV campaign?
CvE: We have created spots in the past, but showed them only through digital channels. The only change is that we are now showing them on television. With funny, irreverent shows that have grown in popularity, it felt like the timing was right to launch a full TV ad campaign. We are excited to share the brand’s witty humor with so many more of our Newcastle guys.
MANjr: What do you think are the most distinguishing qualities of Newcastle Brown Ale? What sets Newcastle apart from other ales in the market?
CvE: Newcastle is the dark beer that’s easy to drink. It has a unique flavor, lightly hopped taste, and a refreshing, smooth finish that set it apart from other dark ales. It’s the lighter side of dark beers.
MANjr: Newcastle Brown Ale has been around for a long time. Has the brewing process and final product changed much over the years?
CvE: Newcastle was originally brewed in 1927 in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, but has since moved to Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. The final product has remained true to its roots over the years – the recipe is still the same as how Coronel Porter first brewed it in 1927!
Today, we’ve expanded to offer a full line of limited edition ales: The first limited edition ale is available now – Summer Ale, which is crisp, refreshing and perfect for summer celebrations. Next we’ll be introducing Werewolf, a blood red ale with a definitive bite of bitterness and a distinct autumn taste. Newcastle Winter IPA will debut during the winter months, providing a zesty, full-bodied taste and authentic malt flavors. Then in early 2012 we’ll introduce Founder’s Ale – a celebratory brew that has a traditional English semi-bitter taste and hoppy aroma.
MANjr: The commercial spots were filmed at an actual pub in London. How important was the authenticity factor when these spots were produced?
CvE: It was very important to us that we remain as true to Newcastle’s heritage as possible. We wanted to ensure we didn’t lose any of the authenticity the brand is known for. In addition to using a real pub in London as the set, we also hired locals as the talent. The bartender featured in the spots is the actual owner of the pub!

RYZ H-G3 Shoe Giveaway
I’m a sneaker guy. I don’t like fancy shoes. They’re just not for me. Sure, I got some nice shoes for weddings and funerals and such, but I don’t break those out unless I absolutely have to. If I have the option to choose comfort over class, comfy shoes win every time. Even if I’m semi-dressed up, there’s a good chance I’ll complete my look with a pair of Sauconys.
RYZ knows this. They know that most guys prefer sneakers over dress shoes. RYZ’s aim is to provide guys with a satisfying middle ground – a combination of comfort and class, sophistication and relaxation.
RYZ was founded in 2008 by Rob Langstaff, the former president of Adidas USA and Japan. Langstaff is a former Captain in the US Air Force and an avid runner (he once held the record for the 1500 meters at the Air Force Academy). Langstaff started working at Adidas back in 1991, so he knows a thing or two about shoes. He speaks English, German and Japanese, and he believes in a open source, democratic take on design. Along with input from consumers, Langstaff paired up with Creative Director Todd Alan Breland to blend athletic footwear with a more refined sense of style.
“We designed a shoe that you could where with a suit and not look like a dork,” Langstaff said when describing the H-G3. That pretty much sums up it up. If you can maintain a sporty mindset while still pulling off a touch of class, you’d do it in a heartbeat. And if you could use a side zipper to get the shoe on in like 10 seconds, that’s just an added bonus.

Champion Track Jacket Giveaway
The MANjr team is a big fan of track jackets. Nothing balances the fine line between sporty and comfy quite like a good tracky top. While we’re partial to Adidas and Puma, we’re an equally opportunity track jacket operation. So when Champion wanted to team up with us for a giveaway, we knew exactly what we wanted to select.
The Champion Double Dry Ultimate All-Weather Soft-Shell Men’s Jacket is a lightweight tracky that keeps you warm without weighing you down. The soft-shell is resistant to wind and water, so you can go for that track jacket look on a rainy day without worrying about getting all soaked. Stretchiness is built in to the whole package. You get the benefit of added freedom of motion and the inner stretch cuffs have thumb holes to keep your hands warm on chilly days.
Champion has been producing quality athletic apparel since 1919. They pioneered the hoodie and they have mesh shorts that’ll keep you cool and agile for any athletic activity. These guys also introduced the world’s first sports bra. Champion employs moisture-wicking technology in their Double Dry sportswear and in all their socks and underwear. If you need sporty gear that can double as comfy casual wear, Champion has the track record and innovative features you need to keep you relaxed and stylish.
So how to you win this Double Dry Ultimate All-Weather Soft-Shell Men’s Jacket? It’s simple. Just follow us on Twitter @MANjrcom or like fan of our Facebook page and leave us a comment telling us why you love track jackets. We’ll pick a winner at random next Thursday, April 14.
