HuffPo seems like it has it against GLOs after the fake UVA case.

And seriously, who calls people of GLOs "bro's" in a serious fashion unless they have some sort of misconstrued disdain for them?

What the heck is a GLO? I googled it and found nothing relevant.

The other minor 'innovations" he is credited with like the "fan convention" and "seventh inning celebrity" really are laughable.

Of course, in an era of High Definition TV and subscription television that actually works, the "free" broadcasts on WGN of the Blackhawks were arguably LOTS MORE RISKY than the idiotic "scrambled OTA" scheme that Bill Wirtz invested in -- as much as I feel sorry for his lack of understanding of the technology, I can almost understand how he (or his business analysts at Wirtz Beverage...) thought there was some potential 'synergy' in selling the subscriptions for SportsVision to tavern owners that might benefit from selling more booze to hockey fans. That was a whole lot less risky in an era when people really did not mind walking or driving to sports bars and throwing back a few ...

The substantial boost in both direct revenue from NBC/Comcast being direct partners with the NHL as well as ancillary revenue from making the franchise the most valuable in the league would certainly make Bill proud of Rocky and frankly given the success that the network has in landing sponsors in the "brown goods" part of the business I imagine the Wirtz Beverage revenues are also doing quite well indeed.

It is a wonderful thing when a plan all comes together!
Are you happy that they won, or are you just raining on their parade?

Being at game 6 was amazing. I still can't believe I saw them lift the Cup at home after sitting through dozens of games with 5k of my closest friends less than a decade ago.

I'll be damned if the Lightning didn't employ the same method.

I have never seen a team with the collective speed of the current Lightning squad. if they stay together, they could be a force for years to come.
