About Me

Since merging IL with our new parent company (these guys make every magazine from Vogue to GQ to Sporting News to Vanity Fair), business development's been on a tear:
IL ON ESPN:
Tuesday, May 20th. ESPN 2. 4:30 pm. Set the Tivo for our latest production, "Inside Lacrosse on ESPN." (90 million homes - let's make those little nielson ratings boxes sing, baby!)
BREAKING NEWS:
For the first time ever, ATT wireless users can text "lax" to 2272 and get Inside Lacrosse news items to your hand-held. This is a landmark deal for the sport. There'll surely be some kinks to work out, so give it a shot & let me know what you think.

MERGER EDITORIAL: "Handing over the Reigns"
Further TV expansion. More events, books, and DVDs. Maybe a trade show, maybe an awards ceremony. More than the sale, this is about all the killer projects this merger will enable. Exciting times for IL, exciting times for the sport!
