Any news story that covers a business is free advertising! Technically reporting that Steve Jobs died and going over all the products he designed is advertising Apple. The story here is that a former baseball player, a very famous one at that, started a gaming company. Now I’m not naive, Schilling clearly agreed for the free publicity but entertainment news is news in my opinion. Perhaps not in your opinion.

*sigh* That’s supposed to be *rein* in, REIN as in reins to a bridle on a horse, mmmkay? “Reign” refers to a a monarch “reigning” over a kingdom; “rein in ” refers to slowing something down or stopping it such as a horse. Homophones – everybody’s bete noir.
