Man of Many Hats

Red Hat founder Robert Young has purchased his hometown football team, the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Kevin Marron got the lead paragraph exactly correct: "Oskee Wee Wee. Linux, eat 'em raw." (Although he forgot the Oskee Waa Waa.)

Other wealthy high-tech sports team owners have often been destructive meddlers. But I have a good feeling that under the low-key Young, things are going to be different. Whoops, something's coming in over the wire...

Top Ten Ideas of New Hamilton Ti-Cats Owner Robert Young...

1. Quarterback receives plays from bench on BlackBerry. Advantage -- can trade his portfolio during commercial breaks.


2. Campaign to rebrand Hamilton, Ontario from "gritty steel town" to "only a 45-minute drive to the University of Waterloo."


3. Three words: open source steroids.


4. Cross-branding opportunity with new software startup "Tiger-Striped Helmet"


5. Instead of aiming for small annual profit, plans to create massive losses, then take the company public.


6. Team mascot change: instead of random guy in tiger suit, Martin Short in fat suit.


7. Master plan to pump up U.S. interest in team, then apply for membership in NFL. How? Three words: Super Bowl Commercial.

Well, that's only seven. The suggestion box is open.
