Hah, through most of my 20 year career as an ardent Raptors fan, including 12 years as a SSH, I've been aware of the schism between vaguely (or obviously) racist puckheads and the cool basketball vibe. You used to be able to see it in the Sportsnet (recently eliminated) comment section, when the puckheads would basically comment "who cares?" after every Raptors story, and point out how many more comments an equivalent Leafs story would generate.

So the only thing I can think of is that MLSE wants to somehow bridge that divide. I remember in Vladdy Jr's rookie season he was at a Raptors game, and when he was announced to the SBC crowd he got a huge cheer. Did that also happen at Leaf games? I dunno. Blue Jays aren't a part of MLSE or within Pelley's bailiwick, but with the success of the resurgent Jays and everything now owned by Rogers, it seems an obvious move to try and leverage the Jays brand by bringing them into this cross-promotion strategy.

I bet if World Series MVP Vlad drops the puck at a Leafs game this year he'll get a huge ovation
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Burner acct?? Hehe.


wouldn't surprise me....

i mean it's not the worst thing in the world.
While it seems like there maybe some Richard Peddie vibes where the meddling could hurt the team, hopefully he has a decent pulse on the team, and doesn't make rash decisions.

Sometimes realgmers insights turn out good, and sometimes bad.

I thought anotherhomer meant that Duffman should make a burner account to tell the secret story

Reducing silos within the org, from the C-suite to the boots on the ground. Leveraging in-house assets to beef up their already robust cross-platform offerings. Mining exhaustive data sets to drill down potential synergies.

I can't tell if this is a serious reply or a spoof of corporate jargon

It's more of a blue-sky approach to streamlining every phase of the customer journey, from awareness to advocacy; and using thoughtful, organic content to drive authentic engagement. All for the end-goal of creating a sticky, moated product that doesn't just solve users' problems, but connects viscerally with the consumer.

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Is this specific to Pelley and the Raptors, or just related to Pelley in general?

Richard Peddie couldn't have said it better.
