In 33 years in the NBA, Brian McIntyre has made plenty of friends, including a ...
Brian McIntyre has spent 33 years in marketing and media relations for the NBA, first with the Bulls and, since 1981, for the league office, most notably as senior vice president of public relations. Now senior communications advisor to commissioner David Stern, he will receive the John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hall of Fame on Thursday in Springfield, Mass., in conjunction with the enshrinement ceremonies the next night for the Class of 2011. It's the highest honor the basketball museum bestows short of induction.
While most have watched coverage of the league change, McIntyre has lived the transition to the new media. His is a unique vantage point.
NBA.com : There's obviously a lot more coverage now through different mediums than when you began. Does that mean there's better coverage?
Brian McIntyre : More doesn't always mean better. But it's nonstop. The positive thing about all the various media covering sports today is that no matter where you are or how you like to obtain your news, you can get it. Having said that, though, I personally have a concern with so many people, so many outlets gathering news that there would still be some semblance of duty. There's a process by which newsmen gather their news and you hate to see someone just push something out there at the expense of the truth.
NBA.com : Do you think the biggest change is in attitude or is it in actual approach of how the news is gathered?
BM : I don't have all the answers. I just know there's more people out there gathering. I think most people who cover sports, or journalists of any kind, no matter what they're covering, want to get it right. But there's an awful lot of short cuts being taken today.
The one thing that probably concerns me more than anything else is that no one ever calls to verify any more. If it appears in one spot, whether that spot be a news-gathering institution that has been around for a century or more or a brand new one, no matter where it appears, people just pick it up and run with it. Twenty-five years ago, 30 years ago, people would pick up the phone and say, "Hey, I read this. Is this true? What's your reaction? What do you guys think of this?" That doesn't happen anymore or very rarely happens, and that's a shame."
NBA.com : What are the positives that you've seen change through the years?
BM : Oh there's a lot of positives. My goodness, the ways you get the information. Remember you used to have to call up Sportsphone 25 years ago? Or if you lived in the East Coast, you never got West Coast scores. Now, you've got it. You've got highlights. You can see what happened today today. You can see what happened 15 minutes ago right now. The immediacy of it. The ability to watch games on your telephone is mind-boggling.

GMRS 2 way radios
I am looking to buy a set of 2 way radios for the upcoming hunting season. Looking at the Motorola website and comparing radios I noticed something I didn't know before.

To obtain the FCC forms, please call 1-800-418-3676 to request Forms 605 and 159, which includes all of the forms and instructions you will need.
