dose the revolution get any money from it

[rockytoptenn]

Before Kraft became owner of the Patriots, wasn't the team owned by Victor Kiam? You know the guy, "I used the Remington microblade and loved it so much I bought the company. Remington, shaves as close as a blade or your money back."

Kinda weird that Foxboro has the unending association with shaving companies.

Considering Kraft owns them and the stadium, they do, in a roundabout way.

On the other side:

CMGi revises sponsorship deal

Apparently, they are still going to pay money, but payments will start in 2003, and they will receive more limited sponsorship through 2015.

This is the moving money from the front pocket to the back pocket scenario.

MLS receives no money from the naming of the stadium. An investor in MLS (Kraft) does.

Yes, Kiam was the owner I think before James Busch Orthwein, who was before the Krafts.

Well, considering that Jonathan Kraft sits on the board of CMGI, I think he is probably pleased to have Gillette come in.

Patriots dump CMGI and sign with Gillette to named Gillette Stadium.

Then, SNL had the fake Remington commercial back when that female Patriots reporter was being discriminated against. Phil Hartman, I think. Funny stuff.
