Re: WNBA Draft
For many MANY years, the entire marketing approach of the Bullets was to advertise when Magic and Kareem or Bird or MJ or Dominque or whoever the marquee stars were coming to DC. Clippers were the same. Sunday LA Times sports section in the mid-90's would have ads for a six- or eight-game ticket pa...

Re: WNBA Draft
No idea how $28 million is a steal for Nike. Lets check back on this in 3 years. Just dont see the WNBA going places. Even before Clark attendance and ratings were way up. Las Vegas, for example, sold out every game this year and is moving several to T-Mobile (18,000 seats). Most games Indiana play...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Yes, the NHL monitors it super tight yet every year multiple contenders have players who get healthy right in time for game 1 of the playoffs. C’mon. It’s smart to use it; you don’t have to pretend it’s legit. I’m legitimately wondering how much sooner Stone could have theoretically returned last y...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I’ll trust you on that although I’m not sure how you put $9.5MM back on and stay under. Martinez is $5.5M so that’s a big chunk of it. Also I think the cap is 23 players in the regular season but the solution you (and others) have proposed — counting the 20 players dressed for postseason cap purpos...

Re: Swamp Travel Guide
I really hate to generalize but so much of the South is trash compared to the rest of the country. There’s nice towns and nice people to be sure but on the whole just such a weird, trashy vibe here. (I’m in Little Rock today but I’ve been here enough for previous jobs that I feel OK with my opinion.)
