This past summer, when we had nothing better to do, we dispatched our intern Wynne Kenna on a project we had wondered about. How many teams, in the four men’s major leagues (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) still print materials? It came about after the time we spent in and around FIFA for both the Club …

Your friends you have known, the right slice of pizza or cup of coffee, a musical artist who knows just the right notes to play, Opening Day in Baseball etc. etc. Things can adjust, but the core thoughts…the core sounds, …
I have been a fan of Saturday Night Live since it’s inception. On Monday morning’s in high school my classmates would sit around the breakfast table in the cafeteria talking about the previous week’s episode.
