I'm not going to even comment ... g.luck! ;)

The FUSE has been LIT ! :D

do you even know what you're talking about ? ... DEGH had a legal binding and exclusive endorsement contract with Michael Vick that became firm and binding as of the beginning of July ... Michael Vick pulled a fast one by signing with a competitor in anticipation of getting both endorsement deals.. greedy much ? ...DEGH just filed in SEC documents stating this timeline... DEGH decided to release Vick from contract as of July 25th in light of a breach in terms of agreement as realized by July 20th ... Vick loses big time if Fuse Science blows up as he would have been equity partner in addition to lead endorser... his support and excitement for Fuse Science technology, products, and management/scientist team is well documented in a recent NATIONAL television broadcast... Fuse Science cut Vick loose like a bad habit within 5 business days of hearing about the breach... A replacement poster boy will be found just as quickly for NFL penetration if not already ... people that come on this board with no facts and no basis are the ones with no leg to stand on... last I checked in on my Degh investment/bank account, it supported an already ridiculous ROI with a recent chart to match... Can the same be said for Degh/Fuse Science competitors ? ...
-PD
Upside is still huge here... and the market, for the most part, knows it... Closing near .30 today, despite dropping Vick, is a good sign... When we hear about the new poster boy and NFL roster, we'll clear recent highs no prob... to go from .30 to .60 can happen in a flash... .60 to 1.00+ is a very reasonable spec target for this gem no matter how some spin it... DEGH/Fuse has eventual multi-dollar land written all over it... in order to get there, recent highs will have to be shattered... from a .30 launch-point, that won't be too difficult once things start rolling ;)
-PD
Agreed... DEGH/Fuse is strong ... and the stage is being set for big things... Dropping Vick in a snap shows the confidence and strength of this management team... Its impressive that they decided to go forward without him despite clearly having the first legally binding contract... These boys dropped him because of his breach of exclusivity clause... for a company to do that based on products that they haven't even pushed yet shows the conviction that they have wrt their product lines and markets both short term and long term ... .. Can't wait to see who they replace Vick with as the new poster boy endorser/equity partner... Vick going on National television in full support of Fuse Science and the technology doesn't hurt Fuse Science one bit... Fuse dropping Vick for breach of contract doesn't hurt Fuse one bit... announcing a new lead endorser/equity partner poster boy for their NFL move along with a full roster of noteworthy athletes won't hurt Fuse one bit...
-PD
Agreed! :) .... DEGH is set up very well... the swift nature of how they dropped Vick is a reflect of how serious they are.... Now it will be interesting to see who they find as their key endorser/equity partner to break into the NFL... The speed of their replacement and the next few steps will be very interesting to see.... I am patient as I see the long term picture here but a short term resolve so that things can move forward is more than welcome ;)
DEGH >>> HUGE >>> $$$$$ >>> MONSTER
-PD
I think it was the latter... If they are truly trying to build a presence in the NFL and want to make sure that their key endorser/equity partner is fully committed, then this blunder makes it clear that Vick wasn't the guy... I like the speed at which they dropped him... All they need is a fast replacement and they are good to go... They're 'Powered by Fuse' endorsement page already reflects Vick being dropped... in the grand scheme of things, this won't mean anything as none of the remaining pieces are revealed yet... just as excited as we (most of we;)got when Michael Vick was announced, we'll be equally as excited once/if another major athlete is announced ... then the show goes on as scheduled and we continue our uptrend as the plan of action becomes more and more clear...
-PD
yep, fuse doesn't really need em... they just need a worthy replacement if its not him ... all they need is a few of those cards flipped soon to keep the momentum going... only a matter of time...
-PD
Agreed .... this party boat needs to get rolling ... but one thing that strikes me as confusing... lets say that Vick did sign the Fuse contract and fully committed to it but somehow mistook the MusclePharm deal as not 'a breach' ... what if the slip-up is on Vick's part and he signed both contracts? ... What then becomes in such a situation ... Although Fuse may have had Vick first, MusclePharm does not sound like they would be willing to release Vick from contract? ... In such a situation, how do you deal with that without court battles... .and since Fuse is rolling out plans fast, they'll need to take care of this situation asap and move on without Vick if that's going to delay things... sure hope they find a workaronnd to all this mess fast... its great publicity but only if Fuse finds a clean way to keeps things rolling and in positive territory ... Of the two, I think Vick's chances of success and reward lie in the Fuse alliance ... of the two companies, it seems to be Fuse that will be taking the market by storm, not MusclePharm.... just my 2 cents... Lets enjoy the weekend and let this thing unfold when it does ...
-PD
oh my oh my how the details start of come out ... lets face it, Fuse Science is a rockstar in the making with game-changing technology while MusclePharm is nothing special with technology and product lines that would be obsolete if Fuse Science proves themselves up as a game-changer... and the controversy of the CEO at MusclePharm is something that sends off alot of red flags !... In comparison, the board of directors of Fuse Science are nothing short of brilliant with an equally impressive track record that speaks loud and clear ... Next week should be fun :S
-PD
Agree about this Michael Vick topic ... If he's naive enough to sign up with both musclepharm and fuse science, he's not the right guy to headhunt fuse science into the NFL ... Clearly he wants in on fuse as an equity partner but if he somehow already tied himself in with musclepharm, then he's useless to us in terms of exclusivity ... Fuse Science knows what they're doing and have the smarts and experience to make themselves into a powerhouse ... Vick can be replaced ... if he's in, he's in ... If he's not, then he's not ... Musclepharm and other sheets compared to fuse science, like many have pointed out, is comparing apples to oranges .... We're taking about very different products and technologies ... The technology and innovation behind fuse science as well as it's upside potential, management team, pending endorsements, and product marketing and distribution is what will get us to the multi-dollar valuations we're all looking for... Michael Vick and he clearly went on national television (cnbc) supporting fuse science as a game -changer that he wants to be a part of .. thats huge ! ... I'm sure other notable athletes will line up fast if Vick somehow blotched the deal up by already being tied up of by not reading what he's been signing ... Fuse is already branding itself very well and is setting the stage for big things plain and simple.
-PD
Hey Ulfahl, whats all this noise about Vick fumbling the fuse endorsement deal by signing on with musclepharm ? ... can you fire off an quick email to degh management and get this clarified ? ... seems to be alot of misinformation around this recent topic ..
thanks.
-PD
to think that this is only one athlete and they are able to market it so well... when they have a full roster of athletes, Degh will be a monster, if not already so ;S
Can't wait !:D

Fuse Science CEO Adam Adler. "Maybe if LeBron would have used our product in the fourth quarter, he wouldn't have played like Sheet." ;p
http://www.cnbc.com/id/43827302
-PD
all good ... but I think the equity ownership info is mixed up... from my understanding, they picked Michael Vick as the front-liner for the NFL and made him not only an endorsement athlete but also an equity partner... the other 16 to 18 footballers would be just endorsement athletes ? ... suppose the info will be more clear when we hear more details,,,

Vick Scores Endorsement Deal With Fuse Science
Published: Wednesday, 20 Jul 2011 | 1:57 PM ET Text Size
By: Darren Rovell
CNBC Sports Business Reporter
Once seen as untouchable, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is making quite a marketing comeback. Fresh off a new deal with Nike, Vick told CNBC on Wednesday that he has a new deal with Double Eagle Holdings [DEGH 0.38 --- UNCH ], parent company of Fuse Science, which has developed an anti-inflammatory topical gel as well as electrolyte and energy drops that are said to replenish and give a jolt to athletes who take them orally.
The rub, EnerJel, will hit the company's Web site in the coming month, while the drops, marketed as Power Drops and Energy Drops, are promised later in the Fall.
"I thought Fuse was an excellent opportunity as far as what they bring to the table," Vick said.
Alternative delivery systems seems to be a trend in sports nutrition recently. A company called PureBrands launched Sheets, a no calorie, no sugar energy strip that the company says delivers the equivalent of a cup of coffee with each strip that put in the mouth. It is endorsed and partly-owned by Miami Heat star LeBron James.
"If the strip was version 2.0, this is version 3.0," says Fuse Science CEO Adam Adler. "Maybe if LeBron would have used our product in the fourth quarter, he wouldn't have played like Sheet." :D
Adler says the company has a proprietary formula in its drops that makes it easier to get deeper in the the skin quicker. The electrolytes or the energy can be felt in as soon as 90 seconds, Adler said.
"This instant delivery system will crush guys like Gatorade [PEP 68.49 -0.05 (-0.07%) ]," Adler boldly proclaimed.
Adler says Vick, as well as 16 other NFL players, will get equity in the company, but that the price to pay is that it exclusdes them from other categories. Vick can't do any other energy or sports drink deals or even endorse a vitamin since the company is also working on delivering nutraceuticals in the drops it will sell.
Vick, who has racked up endorsements with Unequal Technologies, Core Synergy, Nike [NKE 90.60 -0.14 (-0.15%) ] and now Fuse Science signed a five-year deal with the company, but terms were not disclosed.

Check out the video in the cnbc link to see degh's ceo on air and catch a glimpse of what the fuse science bottles will look like... ... boys and girls, DEGH is gonna be HUGE !!! :D
-PD
Given the choice of pill, drop, or strip, I'd prefer the drop ... there is a big difference between each form ... liquid drops with immediate effect and high yield sub-lingual absorption to bypass the GI system is something that can be a serious game-changer ... to say that mode of delivery doesn't matter is a bit naive ... the marketing for revolutionary products is alot easier... once this comes out, why would someone take a 'sheet' that loses potency through the GI tract when they could just take a drop and become superman in an instant ...
-PD
Nike is a multi-billion dollar empire... why DEGH signed Michael Vick is the same reason that Nike re-signed Michael Vick ... Its a solid move and will get us into the NFL with rapid speed ... We are talking about bringing a performance line of products into the markets... having high performance athletes is a given... He is just the first of many more names to come... Using quality athletes POWERED BY FUSE! that are primed for comebacks and/or high performance/achievement is a no brainier as far as marketing goes ... If nike dropped him, then I could see a problem... they didn't that speaks for itself...
-PD
agreed... a good friend of mine is a pharmacist...another a pharmacologist... I told them both of the fuse technology and mode of delivery proposed and they were both intrigued as the medical implications are clearly huge ... degh may be targeting the sports areas first but a medical venture is definitely a worth consideration down the road ... They've pretty much already stated their interest to expand into different sectors in addition to the sports arenas... short-term or long-term, DEGH is a quality game-changer play :)
-PD
I would rather have them out now ... to cross the dollar-mark we need savvy holders that are willing to let the chart climb to its full or near-full potential ...
-PD
Initially, Vick will use and endorse four new industry-standard, proprietary formulations for Fuse Science as the company prepares to enter the sports nutrition and performance categories with these proprietary products in the coming weeks !!!
-PD
lol, either way, we're powering up to shatter that .70 mark when the time comes... ;)
-PD
"He's a changed man," Fuse Science CEO Adam Adler told The Associated Press . "As part of that change, he's becoming a business man and not just a football player
lol they're endorsing each other ! ... Machael Vick: "Degh, you rock!" ... Degh: "no Michael, you rock!" :D
-PD
haha, no kidding ! :D ... getting Michael Vick on as the main front-liner for NFL penetration is an incredibly smart move ... Just by shear competition, if other players see him POWERED BY FUSE, they'll all want to be POWERED BY FUSE :D ... I suspect that the same strategy will be used for all the other major leagues they have in mind ... This is getting better and better :D
-PD
Vroooooom, Vrooooooom !! :D
multi-dollars for sure .. too solid of an company for it not to be ;$
Lovin the phrase, POWERED BY FUSE! ... Now lets see how many solid athletes they can have POWERED BY FUSE ! :)
-PD
lol, welcome back ;)
“Nike set the stage with its major signing of Michael last week, and today, the best is ‘Powered by Fuse!’”
With the most versatile athlete in the NFL signed to a multi-year agreement, the Fuse Science management team now seeks similar agreements with many of the most notable and accomplished athletes in the world at their respective sports."
DEGH >>>> WOW >>>> $$$$$
-PD
“Fuse Science has game-changing technology and an incredible team of scientists and business leaders to bring it to market,” added Vick. “I believe these products will revolutionize how athletes provide their bodies with nutrients and medicines, changing what we have come to accept as normal. Why take a painkiller and wait 30 to 40 minutes for it to work, when a better product can work in one-tenth the time? Why fill up with a 32-ounce sports drink when a couple of drops can give you the electrolytes you need? I’m convinced Fuse Science has the best technology and the most effective delivery system, and that is why I wanted to be more than just an endorsement partner for this company.”
DEGH >>>>>> HUGE! :D
-PD
all good ! DEGH has surprised all of us as of late ! ... but if it's not clear with the recent endorsment/equity deal, these Boys mean serious business and all these professional associations/leagues means aggressive strategy ... which ultimately means that DEGH >>> $$$$$$
-PD
NFL, NBA, MLB, Etc ... all Powered by FUSE !! :D
DEGH >>> HUGE HUGE HUGE >>> $$$$$
Negotiations are underway with star athletes in the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, Women's Tennis, Olympic Sports, and other professional sports organizations. Consequently, over the coming weeks, Fuse Science expects to announce several other major endorsement partners “Powered by Fuse.”
-PD
NFL powered by FUSE ! :D
DEGH >>>> $$$$$$
-PD
the next set of updates should be juicy :) ...
My ask is set well into dollar-land ;)
-PD
hey ulfahl, didn't the ceo say that material updates were coming our way soon ? ... maybe this week or next week we hear about the athletes...
-PD
it'll get there....
-PD
Look forward to trying it too ... And look forward to supporting this play well into dollarland ;$
Need I say again,
DEGH >>> HUGE HUGE HUGE >>> $$$$$
-PD
They're taking global distribution !! :D
DEGH >>> HUGE HUGE HUGE >>> $$$$$
-PD
Yep, they have a serious blockbuster technology here... My guess is that they will expand the applications as the company grows.... Long term, it's a no brainer where this will be ... Short term, despite the recent and sudden surge and consequent reversal , we are now setup for not only a counter-reversal in the upward direction but a tighter float in more serious and informed hands ... To cross the dollar-mark with strength, we'll need to build a better understanding of what exactly this technology entails... pending the next set of newsreleases, we may get what we're looking for ...
DEGH >>> HUGE HUGE HUGE >>> $$$$
-PD
And the mode of delivery will bypass the GI system entirely while retaining the absorptive potency without the need for injections or anything invasive ... All in one simple drop... no wastage , immediate effects , and best of all it will be FDA approved as per most recent update ...
DEGH >> Huge Huge Huge >>> $$$
