A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

Thank you, we had gone too many pages without some silly statement such as this from someone that doesn't have a clue who he is or where his information comes from, because if they did they would know precisely why he l

1) - Tired of the 'usual suspects' innuendo's
2)- Out making money in the 'real' world, Theme Parks and writing about them is Sprit's hobby.
3)- Spirit's very much 'still here' search for his posts, But we've heard the last of his 'Inside Baseball' reports here
see reason #1.

Wait, he works at Disney?

Nope - But he is pretty well known in the entertainment industry, That's why he's on a first name basis with Eisner.

I get how they are setting it up, I'm more interested in how they are able to use the NHL based on the contract with NBC.

Contracts contrary to popular belief are not chiseled in stone and handed to the parties by god, They are subject to modification (with compensation) if both parties agree on terms.

Or someone, somewhere, got tired of his?

“Shanghai Disney”

You're cherry picking the few things he got wrong (and even then, he probably wasn't wrong at the time). He was the first one on the internet to reveal the entire attraction lineup for Shanghai DL for example, or that Tower of Terror in DCA was going bye-bye. I think he was even the first to reveal Frozen replacing Maelstrom.

When I said, and I quote, "which isn't always right", that implied he got some things right. My point was that he also got some things wrong and I gave examples of it.

Cherry-picking would be if I used those examples of when he was wrong to generalize that he got everything wrong, which is not what I did at all. Very plain to see that.

ROFL.

Him? Nope. Semi-Adjacent to? Sort of, but he has said as much in his postings before.

That's why he's on a first name basis with Eisner.

I'm a nobody. An absolute nobody. But because of various circumstances, I too could drop a few household names I am "on a first name basis with" because I went to school with their kids.

Hey, so could I!

I have absolutely no doubt that you, and many of us here, can say that. I think most of us just don't go around naming them, cause frankly - that's just kinda tacky.

Yes it is - so we refrain.

Precisely - but it's still not him that is "well-known". Let's put it this way - if he wants a good table at a restaurant, he has to ask someone else to call for him.

IMO, they need to come up with customizeable Sports news. If you can cherry pick the sports or even the teams you want to see highlight packages for with Sportscenter-esque commentary, I'm a buyer.

Yes, quite surprising given the long-standing reputation for hard-hitting journalism Vogue has.

Good. They might get me back as a Passholder once this park opens and we finally get Nintendo. Everything else they're doing right now is lame except the Harry Potter coaster. Might make one trip for that next year.
