The Tournament of Rick: Rnd 1 - HORROW vs STEVES
From the Potpourri Bracket, it's the first round matchup of the jet-setting, self-publicizing, tv/radio/author guys!
Rick Horrow Rick Horrow is the leading expert in the business of sports. As CEO of Horrow Sports Ventures, he has been the architect of 103 deals worth more than $13 billion in sports and other urban infrastructure projects. He is also the Sports Business Analyst for CNN, Fox Sports, CNBC, Westwood One, and CBS SportsLine. A popular speaker, writer and commentator on the business, law and politics of sports, he is also a regular guest on Fox Sports "Best Damn Sports Show, Period," and PBS-TV "Nightly Business Report." His weekly radio show segments, The Sports Business Minute, are heard coast to coast on Westwood One. He is also the author of When The Game Is On The Line (January 2006 updated paperback/March 2003 hardback), an insider's guide to the people, politics and power plays behind mega sports deals. He's nicknamed "The Sports Professor" because he is the Visiting Expert on sports law at The Harvard Law School, where he also received a law degree. He has been a key player in stadium, arena, and speedway deals in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Boston, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Houston, Green Bay, San Diego, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh. VS Rick Steves Rick Steves grew up in Edmonds, Washington and studied at the University of Washington where he received degrees in Business Administration and European History. But his real education came in Europe — since 1973 he's spent 120 days a year in Europe. Spending one third of his adult life living out of a suitcase in Europe has shaped his thinking. Today he employs 80 people at his Europe Through the Back Door headquarters in Edmonds where he produces 30 guidebooks on European travel, the most popular travel series in America on public television, a weekly hour-long national public radio show, and a weekly column syndicated by the Chicago Tribune. Rick and his wife Anne have traveled each of the last 18 years with their two kids, Andy and Jackie. His mission at Europe Through the Back Door is to inspire, inform and equip Americans to have European trips that are fun, affordable and culturally broadening. They value travel as a powerful way to better understand and contribute to the world in which we live. They strive to keep our own travel style, our world outlook and our business practices consistent with these values. Voting will be open for two days.

Rick Steves gets my vote because he's a big-time stoner.
