Ultimately, wins are what gain fans of course. And I have way more faith in a rock to build this franchise than the previous owner, so...

What makes Reynolds successful is leveraging his fame and popularity into his business investments. When you have a good, clean reputation and a relatively unscathed following- this is the foundation for marketing his companies.
So when he goes and buys the Senators and inevitably ends up at odds with the city to pull on the heart strings begging for taxpayer money when he himself is rich enough to buy a pro sports franchise, I wonder how that clean, excellent game and reputation hold up?
