UFC 2009 Undisputed Sponsor List
MMAPayout has an interesting piece up revealing the list of approved sponsors in UFC 2009 Undisputed. In total there are 17 camps and 33 commercial sponsors. What is unique about this arrangement is that the fighters have been allowed to sell the placements on their in-game gear. They can negotiate with the sponsors as individuals and reap the benefits. Certainly the level of exposure through the video game is equal to that, or possibly even superior to, the level of exposure companies rece...

2009 Madden Mock Draft 1-3
Something I enjoyed doing last year was the Madden Mock Draft. This is not a mock centered on who I believe the teams will end up selecting. I will be doing one of those closer to the draft.

I base decisions primarily on projected ratings, team needs, importance of position, opportunity for impact, and potential ratings increases throughout the season. Every few days I'll be posting...
