Fun with Energy

It is only the Summer League. I wouldn’t get too excited but these games do offer our fans a glimpse of the hope and promise of young talented players and what they can bring to our franchise.

I would rather play well in these games than not well. I would rather our best prospects shine than not shine. The games are competitive. The players are all working hard to impress their coaches and GMs across the league.

In hockey, I liked our team as it crafted an up tempo exciting style of play all built around a young core with vets around it; playing a system; bonding as friends in the locker room; being coachable; believing in the system and adhering to a culture that is built collectively.

I believe that is what we can and must do with the Wizards.

Inception

This movie is mind-blowing in IMAX.

It reminded me of when I saw the first Matrix film. I walked out of theater thinking about the film and shaking my head in awe.

This is really a great piece of work. It really is a great story - challenging; great editing; directing; writing and acting.

It is a true marvel of a film and perfect summer entertainment. I was really impressed. I will go see this film a second time. Go see it as soon as you can. You will dream about it later that night, trust me!

Rock the Red in Logo, Too

Monumental Sports & Entertainment is the name of our new company.

Here is the logo and a nice article to boot.

There is no more Washington Sports and Entertainment. There is no more Lincoln Holdings. We are all ONE company now. No company acquired the other company. This is fresh - this is new - this is progressive. We are in it together!

Monumental is big. Monumental is stable. Monumental is local and serves all of our communities.

Monumental one day could be a great name for a media network, too. We own a lot of programming.

We are unique. We have multiple assets all under one ownership group: The Washington Capitals; Washington Wizards; Washington Mystics; Verizon Center; Kettler Capitals Iceplex; the local Ticketmaster franchise; and we manage the Patriot Center as well. Look to us to do great things in local online media networks and e-commerce apps next!

It is a Monumental challenge. The rewards will be great. The opportunities will be truly Monumental.
