There's a joke in there somewhere about shaving and "too much off the top," but I'm too tired and too sick with a head cold to figure it out. Andy's got the right take on the story, though.

Well, considering that Jonathan Kraft sits on the board of CMGI, I think he is probably pleased to have Gillette come in.

It was never going to happen, no matter what John Rowland tells you. It meant abandoning the sixth largest market in the country for the thirty first. And after the league had lost the second. The NFL likely would've rejected the move and it was always known that Massachusetts had until the zero hour to make an offer of some kind. Although it was pretty much window dressing. He never intended to move to Hartford, otherwise he would've laughed at the Mass. offer. $75,000,000 for infrastructure? Connecticut was offering the stadium, control of the revenues, and no rent. It was worth over $600m. Why refuse such a package for some new roads? To blackmail Massachusetts into making the offer. Not that I'm mad. This state doesn't deserve a major league team. It's a land with no identity wedged between two states with very conspicuous identities.

Kinda weird that Foxboro has the unending association with shaving companies.
They actually did a couple of those skits on SNL. With Phil Hartman, in a bathrobe, in front of a giant Patriots logo. I loved it because they were so rarely on TV. "I've seen Zeke Mowat's penis. I liked it so much, I bought the team." Then he introduces a new line of razors based on some of the choice lines of the players. "The **********. You know. Not ********** in a bad way."

Actually, it's a funny thing. For those who don't know, Remington is based out of Bridgeport, CT, the city next to my town. Victor Kiam actually bought the Patriots with the intention of moving the team to Bridgeport. Imagine a city the population of Green Bay with the crime problem of Compton. General Electric used to be headquartered there, but moved to a more secure compound in the northeastern section of Fairfield (my town). The former GE factory and HQ building now stands vacant and is HUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Imagine a dozen hangars in a line, each one large enough to accomodate the Spruce Goose. It could have been the site for the stadium. All of the small munitions produced in America for the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War came from Bridgeport. But that was then. Somehow, when Kiam bought the team, he was out-bid by Bob Kraft for ownership of Sullivan Stadium (renamed Foxboro in 1991, much to my dismay). He sold the team to James B. Orthwein in 1992, a businessman from St. Louis. It could have been the Patriots playing at the Edward Jones Dome and the Rams playing at 'Norelco' Stadium. To sum up, the Patriots nearly moved to Birmingham, Hartford, Providence, Bridgeport, St. Louis, and Hartford. If Youre Not Making It Up As You Go Along, This is Not Your Time : ad ::
Looks like we need a new concept of media units. Kind of like CMGI in the late 90s. Anyway, its downtown at 555 W 18th Street. RSVP here.

Thanks for the visual, kenn. I'm gonna go boil my brain now.
dose the revolution get any money from it
This is the moving money from the front pocket to the back pocket scenario.
MLS receives no money from the naming of the stadium. An investor in MLS (Kraft) does.

Yes, Kiam was the owner I think before James Busch Orthwein, who was before the Krafts.

Considering Kraft owns them and the stadium, they do, in a roundabout way.
Kraft kept the money from Connecticut, didn't he?

Victor Kiam was sued by a female reporter who had gone in the men's locker roon..."I didnt call a bitch..just a real go getter"

Then, SNL had the fake Remington commercial back when that female Patriots reporter was being discriminated against. Phil Hartman, I think. Funny stuff.
On the other side:
CMGi revises sponsorship deal (http://www.cmgi.com/news/prdata/cmgiandpatriotsrevise.shtml)
Apparently, they are still going to pay money, but payments will start in 2003, and they will receive more limited sponsorship through 2015.
