Ninja Tickets Status Update

Ninja Tickets was attacked and our programmers are recommending that we do not go live until we fix certain speed issues that make Ninja Tickets vulnerable to attack.  So for now I have to focus on other projects to make money to support the goal of Ninja Tickets. 

I still believe in the goal of Ninja Tickets and as a sports fan I am missing the service since I often used it myself.   The core vision of Ninja Tickets hasn't been executed yet -- even with the emergence of Venture Backed companies that were a facsimile of our business plan.  Hopefully with some new capital and sweat equity we can get this project rolling again and get the best price tickets to fans, period. 

Jason Campbell traded to Raiders for 3rd and 4th Round Picks (rumor/very early reports)

There are multiple sources reporting that Jason Campbell (Redskins 1 year tender 3.1mm) has been traded to the Raiders for 3rd and 4th round picks. These aren't the best sources like ESPN but they are not just blogs or forum posts either, this may be all innuendo but the timing, the compensation and the trade all make perfect sense. Since it is still early it is unknown if both of these draft picks are for the 2010 or 2011 draft.

These reports make a lot of sense: the Raiders are losing faith in JaMarcus Russell and a 3rd in 2010 plus a conditional 2011 pick around the 3rd, 4th, 5th is likely to be Jason Campbell's trade value. Look for a major announcement later today or tomorrow as the ink dries, or we will see if this is all a hoax.

Re Cutler: NFL Offseason Overshadowing Final Four

Bus Cook has orchestrated yet another off season circus. Getting his clients more media attention in the off season of the NFL than perhaps the MLB entering into opening weekend and the final four. Let's break down how this happened:

1. (RUMOR) Josh McDaniels didn't want Cutler because he has diabeties and he drinks.

2. Everyone wanted Cutler because he was young and showed promise.

3. Snyder plus a lot of teams that actually had a QB need, wanted a potential franchise QB.

4. Denver knows how to work other teams trading high profile players.

5. Cook is a jump-ship media "whore".

First off the fact that the NFL offseason could overshadow the MLB AND the Final Four is quite amazing. It took every one of the above list to make it happen.

The Outcome:

The Bears needed a QB, perhaps more than anyone in the league. They have a defense and a solid basis for a team. This move makes sense, I would expect them to make a playoff run

Their ticket prices will also increase, look for a price north of today's $229 average in the future.

The Redskins have dodge a bullet. Campbell has had an opportunity to exude his quiet leadership and I believe it will be a break out year for him. (Check out this Washington Times article.)

The Bucs and Lions were either unable or unwilling to follow the Bears into their Snyder-like-offer for Cutler.
