Fortunately, sports are not my life. I enjoy our victories - and then move on. I lament our losses - and then move on. You are right, sports - and in particular sports fanaticism - is a great metaphor for business. What if we could all be fans of our company in the same (irrational) way that we are fans of our favorite sports team. Or better yet, what if we could be fans of our family and friends to the same degree. Wow. Steve Mitch,

We're both in the innovation business, we're both Jewish, and we both love sports. Thanks for your recent Celtics/Patriots posting. Very cool. One good turn deserves another. I know the Patriots loss must have killed you last year. (On the other side of equation, I'm a Giants fan.) Here's a blog posting of mine written the night the Giants beat the Packers. Enjoy. http://www.ideachampions.com/weblogs/archives/2008/01/men_women_the_b.shtml Stephen: You and I have a few things in common.
