Thanks Again
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Great Review on Revolution Money
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I 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? :-)
Thursday, May 8th, 2008This 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
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Accelerate 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.
