It was another great week of listening and learning on the road, and we will do a little summary of the best takeaways in the coming days. But first, one observation to consider. While the World Congress of Sport was going on in Nashville this week, there were several other events in New York and …

Yet another crack at Indoor football. Another women’s basketball league. Winter sports. Golf. Track and Field. The beat goes on, and personally I hope they all …
Even at big events on the grandest of stages, little things matter. They matter also on small stages thrust into the spotlight as well. Such was the case in four fun stops last week in and around the Big Apple. First was a night at The Paley Center for what was essentially a coming out …

Armand Duplantis and Sunny Choi, Stephen Nedoroscik and Amit Elor, Bob the Cap Catcher and Gabriel Medina.
