Ben Grossman
Grossman began his career as a staff writer for The Sports Business Daily, before moving to the PR world heading communications for AEG's Major League Soccer franchise, the Colorado Rapids. In 2000, he became director of corporate communications for the XFL, which enjoyed a widely-publicized and successful launch...and subsequent demise. Grossman then joined Gemstar-TV Guide as manager of publicity and corporate communications in 2001before coming to B&C in 2005. A Minnesota native, he graduated with honors from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism and holds an MBA from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA.

And now it looks like two days after my birthday next year, I am going to get to see him probably get punched in the face, perhaps several times.

As someone who lived in Denver during Columbine, I accidentally woke my wife by saying out loud, “Not again.” Unfortunately from Columbine to Virginia Tech to Tucson (and those are just a few of the domestic ones in recent years), news organizations have a playbook for how to cover...

You May Hate It, But I'm InI am on the record as saying that the Aaron Sorkin years of The West Wing represented the best written dramatic television of all time.

So given that — along with being a TV news junkie — it should come as no shock that I... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (1) 88 Reasons Christmas Came Early for NASCARTiger Woods falling apart in a U.S. Open golf tournament that ended on Father’s Day is about as fitting an outcome as there can be, in my opinion, for a person that totally failed as a father, but it was still not the most noteworthy development in the sports TV world over a busy weekend that also included some epic Euro 2012 action (how good has this tournament been, seriously?) and...
