A weekly survey of sports execs and personalities, offering their positions on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, we take the pulse of four execs from four corners of the sports industry:
- Hornets Exec VP and Chief Sales & Marketing Manager Pete Guelli
– Tells colleagues his interest is strictly marketing related
- MLS VP/Special Events Jen Maurillo
– How does she stay in the know? "Thank goodness for The Skimm"
- Sportvision CEO Hank Adams
– Has never watched TMZ, consumes more books than movies
- Steiner Sports Marketing VP/Team Partnerships Liz Martin
– Doesn’t keep up with the Kardashians, but she's up to speed if it's news relevant
