WNBA Atlanta

Not sure how many of you goons know this, but I'm currently embarking on the coolest things I've done in my professional career - starting a professional sports team. I'm currently in the ATL helping start the new WNBA team down here.

If anyone's interested, our team has started a blog that lets you know our exploits - it's totally filtered so a lot of the #'s are not being told - but we are exceeding every expectation we had so far, which is also very cool.

I'm gonna have some great stories when this is all said and done - but you guys can keep up with me at:

I'm in the staff picture in the green shirt - yes, I truly am that small.

Nice dude. That should be interesting. I once interned for IMG in D.C., and we spent months and months getting sponsors and planning this huge international women's olympic-style competition called the "Women's Global Challenge." I had arranged for several tons of sand to be hauled in and dumped on the national mall to create a beach volleyball court... then the major sponsor pulled out, the event failed, the DC office was disbanded shortly after (ouch!) and with it, all my contacts in the world of sports marketing. The moral? Don't do anything for dames b/c they'll burn you.

Nice pic. You could have said "I look small, but actually I'm 6'2" and all the women around me are basketball players" and I would have bought it.
