Shabbat Shalom from Las Vegas, Nevada, where I am enjoying a short vacation and soaking in all the March Madness my body can handle. Shout out and love to Sports Agent Blog sponsor Full Sail University, and its Sports Marketing & Media Bachelor’s Degree Online. Passover begins on Monday night; hope all my Jews enjoy their matzo brei. This week on Forbes: (1) Capital One’s March Madness Campaign Banks On Baldwin, Barkley And Hashtags; (2) March Madness Employee Productivity Problem Is Overstated, Yet Influences Corporate Change; (3) Which Brand Will Win The 2013 NCAA Tournament?; and (4) Adidas Poised To Make Deep Run In 2013 NCAA Tournament. And as always, the weekly wrap-up, which is heavy on football despite us being in the thick of March Madness:
