A roadside selfie leads to a social media fight.

It's bad enough for a police officer to take a roadside selfie with culture war icon Kyle Rittenhouse, but the issue goes to another level if the small town police department "brags" about it. Not surprisingly, the department ends up in a social media fight with the very public it serves. Jeff Ward says it's a shockingly tone-deaf move that's been mishandled from the very beginning. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A "Hollywood" story that's hard to believe Part I

Thomas Henderson's legendary career was derailed by his drug addiction, and when he ended up in prison, he left "Hollywood" Henderson behind. His story of going from a small college player taken in the first round of the NFL Draft, to an All-Pro and Super Bowl winner, to drug addict, to lottery winner, seems like it's straight from a movie script. His personal story is both tragic and inspirational, and while his life sounds like a movie, Jeff Ward adds another layer by making the case that he is one of the most important players in NFL history. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The mindbender you'll never solve.

Challenge yourself, friends, and family with the game, "How can Donald Trump lose five percentage points?" It's such a difficult game it makes solving a Rubik's Cube seem easy. Jeff Ward has yet to find an answer, and he provides a dozen examples, but now, with Trump's latest "espionage" trouble, the game is relevant again. Are the latest accusations enough to lose five points among his unchanging support of 38 percent?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can an "MF bomb" help a candidate get elected?

Beto O'Rourke trails current Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the polls, but he just got his big viral moment, and it came in the form of an "MF bomb" shouted at a heckler. He snapped and the crowd cheered. Will it help or hurt? Jeff Ward argues that if he pulls off the upset, this bizarre viral moment might be THE reason. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is the 'crying boss" making things better, or worse?

CEO Braden Wallake has willingly started a virtual debate after going public with an emotional post on LinkedIn saying that his mistakes cost his employees their jobs, and he wants everyone to know that there are plenty of CEOs who care about their employees. He ends his post with a crying selfie (even calls himself the "crying CEO.") He's getting plenty of sympathy and plenty of hate. Why post this? Does it make everyone feel better? Better yet, was the crying selfie a good move? https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Trump "Rage Revolt Part II" could have been silenced. (It's too late now.)

Jeff Ward argues the "noise" of Donald Trump would have been minimized by an effective communicator in the White House. Hiding Joe Biden let the Trump rage restart, and a Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton would have never let him "off the mat." https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tony Romo made Tom Brady rich(er).

The NFL is a made-for-TV game and networks embrace the entertainment value of broadcasting talent. Jeff Ward explains why Tom Brady has Tony Romo to thank for the $375 million waiting for him when he walks away from the game. It all started with the original rockstars of the booth, the Monday Night Football crew of Frank Gifford, Don Meredith, and Howard Cosell, and John Madden and Romo are the closest thing to the originals. Is Tom Brady the next star? It's a crazy gamble that likely won't pay off. Finding the next quirky, must-see analyst, is an inexact science. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CPAC event turns into a bizarre circus.

Steven Monacelli writes about politics for Rolling Stone and The Dallas Observer, and he was in Dallas covering the most recent CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) event that featured the Hungarian Prime Minister (of course), and an announcement teaser by Donald Trump. Monacelli describes an event he says is the "weirdest political event I've ever witnessed." It all starts with a fake jail scene, he says, and it gets more bizarre from there. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
