As I was driving into the DC United
game last week, to join 47,000 other fans, I
was listening to the Sports Reporters on SportsTalk 980. That number -- 47,000 -- is way more people than listen to the Sports Reporters broadcast as an aside. I was ...

I went to the game last night and
had a great time. It had one of those
big event quality feels to it. The stadium was packed and you could feel the electricity in the air. We were invited to sit with the ownership group of DC United, a very ...

I am very supportive and friendly with the
folks at DC United. They have the best on-field
performance of any professional team in the area over the last 10 years having won multiple MLS championships. I am jealous of their accomplishments and hope ...

1. Get out of the newspaper business. Culturally,
you can't look and define your business as the
delivery mechanism. The business is truly content and distribution across all pipes. The asset is journalists and the brand. A print-based property is ...

I have received many emails in outrage about
Mike Milbury's comments on NBC regarding our franchise. I
was at the game and was not able to personally see the segment or hear what he had to say. Evidently, Mike called the team the Washington ...

As I listen in on the message boards,
it is obvious that some folks don't understand the
nature of the business arrangement of a sports team with a local radio station. Hear me out. For many sports teams in most leagues, the local radio station ...

Commenters (Caps fans) write on how energetic and
enthusiastic were these soccer fans attending their NHL games...even
the ones who didn't understand hockey ! --- The Washington Capitals want to embrace these fans and extend all of our co-marketing programs with DC United. We are brothers in arms. We will create a keiretsu and a co-marketing partnership.

In a blog post the other day, I
mentioned that I believed that DC United garnered a
bigger audience than the Sports Reporters on 980 SportsTalk radio. The game in question had 47,000 plus people in attendance and DC United averaged about 19,000 in ...

Tonight is an important game for us. We
had a successful road trip last week but we
MUST start to dominate and garner points when we play at home. We have a losing record at Verizon Center which is quite unusual for us as a franchise. The ...

Peter and I had lunch last month to
discuss his plans and he informed me of his
decision to become GM of the Slovakian national hockey team. I am very happy for him and believe he will be a great addition to the team's infrastructure and his goal is ...

I have come to enjoy watching soccer matches
very much and am beginning to understand why it
is called "the beautiful game"...DC United fans are loud, funny, passionate and are very reflective of the community they live in. They are diverse. They are both urban and suburban and they care about sports.

From SportsBusiness Daily December 18, 2007 REGIONAL COVERAGE:
Regional coverage for NHL teams is also seeing some
healthy gains. For the first time, Comcast SportsNet Chicago has been able to air select Blackhawks home games, and the broadcasts ...

Overnight, I received more than 100 emails, blog
comments and Facebook messages concerning Steve Czaban's blog retort

I have the same kind of severe nut
allergy as Tom Poti. I too carry an EpiPen
injector with me everywhere I go. It has saved my life on two separate occasions. By the way, nice work on the new analysis by Japers' Rink on points per minute et ...

I had the honor of playing in a
foursome with Willie O'Ree , Donald Brashear and Raul
Fernandez yesterday at the Caps Care golf charity event. Willie is 71 years young and is considered the Jackie Robinson of our sport. He is still in love with ...

Yep, we have an issue . I am
working it - although to be honest - this
is a face-off between two gigantic cable companies. The decision has nothing to do with the Washington Capitals. I have called the league, Comcast and Cox. I will work it as hard ...
