SSE and Me

Sunrise Sports & Entertainment announced today that that we'll make a major partnership announcement involving the Florida Panthers and the BankAtlantic Center at a noon press conference on Friday, 6 November on the arena’s outdoor plaza. I encourage you to come out and support our sponsors.

Following the press conference, top-40 rock band Cobra Starship will perform a free public concert courtesy of Y100. This was a trade. They get publicity and we get something without paying. I'm a big fan of not paying.

The press conference and concert will take place after the Panthers morning skate but before the Friday night matchup with the Capitals, and will feature me, SSE President & COO, yours truly, Michael Yormark. Head Coach Pete DeBoer and other luminaries will be there too.

In addition, photo opportunities will be available with the attendees, as well as the Panthers Ice Dancers, Stanley C. Panther and even with a rendering of a new permanent structure to be positioned on the BankAtlantic Center’s outdoor plaza. You will be surprised at what we're doing. Really. I wanted the permanent structure to be a statue of me, but I couldn't get anyone to sponsor it, and damned if I'm paying for it myself. That's just wrong.

See, the word Money didn't appear once. So stop the viscous comments that everything I post is about Money.

If you want to read about the Real Michael Yormark, please see the articles that follow. This blog, as a reminder, is satire and parody. 

  1. Pimp My Arena (2006): This article is old but is listed for sake of completeness and showing him as he is.
  2. Newsweek (2007): This is an article about him and his twin brother who runs the NBA Nets.
  3. New Times (2007): Scroll down half-way for the famous Body-Slamming Alice piece. Fake Michael Yormark is deeply shamed by this, but the real one is, sadly, apparently proud and silent.
  4. New Times (2007): A former clearly disgruntled employee vents off in a letter to the editor under 'Mister Ugly'
  5. New TImes (2006): A letter from when they tried to charge people to park at the mall
