I hope we deserve all of the great fan support. I continue to get great emails wishing the new season would start tomorrow.

Great Review on Revolution Money
I am proud of this one. Here is some terrific info and a good critical look at what we are trying to do.
Who Writes This Stuff Anyway? :-)
This isn’t close to being accurate. The NHL is back. It is growing. We sell as many tickets as the NBA. Our attendance is up; sponsorship sales are up; ratings locally are up; ratings nationally are up; merchandise sales are up; and franchise values are way up. Every single metric on an income statement or balance sheet is up year over year. As I used to say at AOL, ”We have all green arrows.”
The salary cap post lockout was about $39 million. Next year, it will be well over $50 million. That is the surest and most accurate sign of health and robustness of the league. These stories are hackneyed and kind of lazy as a story line. We haven’t been hampered by bad luck over the last two years. We have racked up record breaking growth. I know of some companies that wish they were that fortunate! Why isn’t that message and set of facts getting through to some folks?
REM is Back
Accelerate is a great new set of music: 16 fast, upbeat, cool songs. And they are coming back to DC in June. I very much respect Michael Stipe as an artist and as a writer. The band is still relevant and this music is good. Welcome back.
