HUGE news for me: has taken a significant investment from The Chernin Group to grow and improve. A major milestone for me and for the business, and I couldn't be more excited!
I will be on podcast later today to discuss this and many other things.

Calling BS on the claim that the NFL's expedited replay process didn't see the key angle on the Devonta Smith play. The league office has a "Hawk-eye" system, which gives it immediate access to all angles captured by the broadcast network.

History will tell us it was all nothing more then a long weekend in Miami. Those who have ever shorted CA have been on wrong side of the trade. There are ups and downs. Quakes and droughts. Periods of ridiculous policies. But no better place in world.

The Chernin Group is one of the most exciting funds in the world.
There are very few funds that understand the power of niches, the future of media, and consumer better than TCG.
