The NFL rode the added 17th week into what plans to be a great offseason with markets and storylines galore. While we all look forward to playoff action, kudos to some of the best business initiatives that shouldn’t be missed from this past fall, all of which again are noteworthy and remind us how the …
“He wasn’t there because his publicist told him to be there, and to be nice. He was there because he wanted to be.” There were so many amazing tributes wrote about the late Stephen Sondheim in the past few weeks, but Laura Collins-Hughes’ piece in the New York Times told yet another story that showed …
This week, from just before Halloween into the run up to Thanksgiving, always seems to be quite the tumultuous one. We usually have some Election drama, have had a massive snowstorm, Super Storm Sandy, the tragic plane crash in Jamaica, Queens in 2001, and sometimes, sometimes, even things like the 2015 World Series to keep …

So, we went looking. Here’s what we found… Culminating on the U.N. International Day of Peace, #BeKind21 invites schools and colleges …
A few weeks ago, we had a fun conversation with Roman Tirone, who is helping lead the charge with ZEDRun and virtual horse racing’s success here in the United States and it made us ask a bigger question about the value of predictive data as it can apply to virtual sports, or even matchups in …
A few years ago I was wandering through old Las Vegas when I came upon what was a deserted mall, and was being “transformed” into a gaming center. What the reality was was that the space was an old movie theater and some bare box space…a big dark, open room…which was converted into a space …
It’s always great to be learning, and this weekend we got a little peak into seeing how the effective social media sausage gets made yet again. Picture if you will next week at the NFL Draft and Trevor Lawrence goes with the top pick. He gets his hat, does his socially distanced interview and instead …
