&nbsp;Ray Lewis is an injured future hall of famer that is retiring. &nbsp;Therefore, the NFL can&#8217;t suspend him IF it is a banned substance. &nbsp;Because he is a future hall of famer, he brings street cred. &nbsp;No other football games this week. &nbsp;Captive audience. &nbsp;Huge crowd of reporters, all looking for a story. &nbsp;So, they have a publicist put this crap out there, Lewis denounces the reporter as not being worth the press, then he cashes a check, and the swats (we never heard of them before this deal) cashes an even bigger check for making a deer antler velvet spray that is supposed to work miracles. &nbsp;Go to their website, if you can. &nbsp;I did yesterday. &nbsp;Now, it is unreachable. &nbsp;On Monday, it was on over-night shipment of this deer antler velvet spray. &nbsp;On Tuesday evening after the story broke, &nbsp;the website said &#8220;Due to tremendous response from recent publicity there is now a 25 day wait for this product&#8221;. &nbsp;Now, the server is crashed from over-use. &nbsp;I read the website before it crashed and I had a thought of &#8220;does this stuff test in a goat and does it work?&#8221; &nbsp;You know what? &nbsp;I&#8217;m sure it is like every other additive. &nbsp;Spend more money in the beginning and buy a better goat. &nbsp;Plus, it isn&#8217;t worth it if it does test positive. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;You can&#8217;t come up with this kind of advertising package. &nbsp;Which is my point? &nbsp;These deals all smell like a publicist had a genius idea. &nbsp;And it worked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What is the price to get Musburger to point you out in the crowd? &nbsp;I don&#8217;t know, but it is worth it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This social media\/ instant media creates an amazing buzz. &nbsp;I am WELL aware of what a couple of pics of tag 2174 caused on facebook and what it will make a little goat cost.. &nbsp;There was more kind of rumours, bs, truths, half truths and just general buzz after this goat was lot #1 and then wasn&#8217;t lot #1 . &nbsp;Where&#8217;d he go, what&#8217;d he cost, who has him? &nbsp;I know the answeres to all of the above. &nbsp;The scary thing about this deal was that there wasn&#8217;t a publicist behind the scenes, pulling the puppet strings. &nbsp;Wait? &nbsp;What if Joe Ed Helms was the mastermind behind all of that facebook stuff on the goat that was to become Rumour Has It? &nbsp;Cool. &nbsp;At this point, my reply is &#8220;Money well spent.&#8221; &nbsp;I would imagine that Katherine Webb, Jenn Sterger and the SWATS people would all agree that theirs was money well spent too. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Hhmmm? &nbsp; What would it be worth for somebody in the know to publicize goats on a certain blog and when people called asking questions about where to find a buck, doe, wether, whatever, to steer them in a certain direction? &nbsp;Is such a thing possible? &nbsp;Who could pull this off? &nbsp;Somebody needs a publicist. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;At times, I feel like Lloyd and Harry at the end of &#8220;Dumb and Dumber&#8221;. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; a genius or just a dang publicist. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I watched the bcs championship game with the Dragon Lady. &nbsp;I was hoping Notre Dame had a chance, but I was wrong. &nbsp;When Brent Musburger went all nuts over the Alabama QB&#8217;s girlfriend, I had two, okay, maybe three [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
