| | rantnrave:// My work life would be much different if I could telepathically communicate. Or if the team could just read my mind? I think I may be entering post-speech phase... The debate about the validity of ESports as sports misses the point. Like it or not, eSports have millions of passionate viewers and their momentum can no longer be ignored. Given its unique economics, a network looking to build a sports empire need look no further. REDEF SportsORIGINAL: "Why The Next Sports Empire Will Be Built On Esports"... RECODE's PETER KAFKA and I discuss REDEF, club promoting, heart surgery, and life... Beware of the SaaS business that says they will be collaborative about their platform to get you to sign the contract... I'm excited about a new laptop. It's come to this. Well, I bought the new MACBOOK PRO... Why they don't want to be called media companies... R.I.P. VINE... Are they the best basketball team ever assembled, or the evilest evil empire ever created? Or both? And can anyone beat them? REDEF SportsSET: "Those Damn Warriors"... The 50 greatest horror films of the 21st century... These politicians who say they will not support or endorse TRUMP but will vote for him. Disingenuous slippery politicans at the least. Whereas, his supporters are not clichès ... Happy Birthday to JUSTIN OSOFSKY, STEVE MCPHERSON, MARCY WITHINGTON, JUSTIN OSOFSKY, MICHAEL ZIMBALIST and ROBIN WAUTERS. Belated to MARC RUXIN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
