How To Throw The Perfect Summer Cook-Out
So you have the music, the friends, the crib, and now all you need to do is throw the greatest BBQ ever! The type that will have your friends telling their grandkids about. I have thrown my fair share of shin-digs in my day, enough to shut down a small town. Word to GSU!!!! But some of us may need a few tips on what to do. Once again, we got you covered.
- Food - This is the most important part of a cook-out. You have to have some food. I would recommend keeping it simple Mogul! Don’t go for the brisket or ribs unless your plan is to spend most of your day with your apron on. Get some brats, burgers, and chicken and the party will be more than satisfied. Also skip out on the frozen patties, unless you are grilling for your kid’s 5th birthday get some real ground beef. Take a few minutes to make the patties and season them up. The guest will love you for it.
- Sides - Also keep it simple. Hopefully your grateful guest will show up with more than an appetite. But if all they have planned is to eat up your shit, then you will need to have something more than just meat. Go for the vegetarian baked beans, everyone doesn’t eat swine. Maybe a green salad or potato salad. Your guest won’t need much more, at least not from you. You are doing your part.
- Keep It Easy On The Lighter Fluid – I would personally recommend Match Lite Charcoal, but some of you still love to do it yourself. If that sounds like you all you need to do is soak the charcoal with lighter fluid, wait a few minutes, then light them up. You will probably need to resist the urge of squirting the grill after you already lit it. I know the fireball looks nice, but you don’t want your food to taste like fluid, do you?
- Have A Great Selection Of Music Going – Do it a little better than just playing the radio. With all of these mp3 players out here, I know you or a friend will have a killer playlist. Pick a great set of songs that everyone will enjoy, remember this ain’t about you. It is about your company.
- Keep The Guest List Small And Intimate - Once again you don’t want to be out there all damn day, so have a short list of your closet friends. Unless you are Diddy status, you probably wouldn’t want all of these people at your house to begin with.

Elisabetta Canalis – PETA PSA
I guess we can call this the dog days of summer as Elisabetta Canalis plays as if she is a dog locked in the car during a hot summer day. Mogul pet owners, please remember that your pets get hot also. Don’t leave them in the car when it is hot outside.
Athletes Beware…. Don’t Slip Up This Time of Year.
This is usually the dry weeks of professional sports. The NBA season is long gone, the NFL is still a few days away from training camp, and college football is null and void. What’s a sports head like myself to do? True this year we have the Olympics to get us hyped, but let’s be honest just how many of the sports do we watch? Track n field, basketball, swimming, and I would think in some parts of the world soccer and gymnastics. (If you are looking forward to anything else you are truly a sports head!) The only thing left to get us over this mid summer hump are scandals!
So athletes please be mindful of how you kick it this time of the year. One bad night at the club can lead you into days of headlines. A bad tweet could have you apologizing the next morning after you realized you called an upset fan a (fill in your own derogatory name here). You can even mess your college/university up for years to come if you decide to do who-knows-what with little boys. The best thing for you to do now is practice. Practice. Practice. And practice some more!
If you don’t then understand you just may become food for the sports reporters out there trying to sell papers and advertising blocks. You life is now fair game to be broken down by critics with a microphone.

A nice summer cashmere sweater brings a different splash to your Cool as opposed to the short sleeve polo or seersucker blazer. Do Moguls wear seersucker?
Kenneth Cole $39.99
Pair that sweater with some grey slacks. Grey pants should be a staple in any mans wardrobe.
Banana Republic $69.50
And we all know that brown goes with grey, don’t we?

Forbes – Derrick Rose Injury Delivers Blow To Olympic Hopes For Adidas (Swipe)
Every four years the world’s greatest athletes gather to compete in the Summer Olympics. This year’s event in London will feature stars in track and field, soccer, tennis and more. The Olympic competition extends outside the playing arena to the shoe and apparel market where Nike and Adidas compete for their own kind of gold on the backs of the athletes in their respective endorsement stable.
The ultimate rock stars of the London Games are expected to be the U.S. men’s basketball team, which will feature Nike athletes LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. Adidas was banking on Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose to be its Olympic basketball stud, but a torn ACL in Saturday’s playoff game game against the Philadelphia 76ers will shelve Rose for the Olympics. This comes on the heels of another Adidas athlete, Dwight Howard, getting knocked off the U.S. team after back surgery in April. Chauncey Billups, also in the Adidas stable, will miss the Games after tearing his Achilles tendon in February.
The Rose injury is a crippling blow for Adidas. Major sporting events like the Olympics and World Cup are prime opportunities for Nike and Adidas to showcase their talent. The German apparel company made Rose its marquee athlete in February when it signed the 2011 NBA MVP to a 13-year worth $185 million that could net Rose more than $200 million after royalty payments. The deal kicks off with the 2012-13 NBA season.
Adidas badly lags Nike in the U.S. basketball shoe market with only 4.5% of the U.S. market in March according to SportsOneSource. Nike has a stranglehold in the U.S. with 91% of the market including the 58% share of the Jordan brand, which is owned by Nike. Adidas is hoping Rose can be a transcendent athlete for the brand as Michael Jordan was for Nike.
Adidas will have to sell a lot more of Rose’s signature sneaker for the deal to make sense from economic standpoint. Wholesale sales of Rose’s shoe were $25 million in 2011 in the U.S. compared to $40 million for Bryant’s shoe and $90 million for James’ Nike kicks according to SportsOneSource. Everybody is looking up at Jordan though where wholesale sales were $1 billion last year.
The Olympics will now be a Nike-fest when it comes to the U.S. basketball team. In addition to James, Bryant and Durant, the team is likely to feature other Nike or Jordan athletes including Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Kevin Love.
The Rose ACL injury severely damages the title hopes of the Chicago Bulls who are the top seed in the Eastern Conference and the team will have to adjust on the fly to move forward in the playoffs. Another team that will have to adjust on the fly are the marketing folks at Adidas’ German headquarters.
