A Chill is in the Air

Posted on:

Like it or not, winter has pretty much arrived. At 7M视频鈥 headquarters in Chicago, we saw our first snowfall this week, followed by a nasty dip in temperatures (wind chills in the 10s?!).

I鈥檒l admit, I write these blog posts from the comfort of my cube in a climate-controlled office building, but I can empathize with anyone who has to work outside in this kind of weather. So, even though the REALLY cold weather is yet to come, it鈥檚 never too early to be reminded of how to stay safe in these kinds of temperatures.

There鈥檚 nothing quite like tailgating with friends before a football game.  It doesn鈥檛 matter what the level of play is, whether it鈥檚 high school, college or the pros.  Getting up early, brewing a pot of coffee and hitting the pavement always feels better when you鈥檙e gearing up for football.  At 7M视频, we share the same passion for pigskin and we have the tools to let you tailgate in style.

30th Annual International Lineman鈥檚 Rodeo

Posted on:

What exactly is a lineman鈥檚 rodeo? Well unfortunately, there are no bulls or rodeo clowns. Instead, the Lineman鈥檚 Rodeo attracts some of the most skilled linemen in the world to compete in a variety of events based on traditional lineman tasks and skills. While the 鈥淚nternational Tree Climbing Competition鈥 may have been a better way to describe this event, it really just doesn鈥檛 have the same ring to it as the Lineman鈥檚 Rodeo.
