What an great read. Robert is an awesome person, I feel lucky to have known and competed against him locally the last 10 or so years.
Quoted from Rondogg:Really makes pinball seem a lot less nerdy
...where is Josh Sharpe when you need him.
No joke, it's only going to take one clip of him in a finals going "NOT LIKE THIS!!!" to nerd it back to oblivion. 
Quoted from eggbert52:This reminds me of the 80's and 90's when the "E" in ESPN really meant something . Glad to see pinball get this type of exposure and it would be cool to see some tournaments broadcasting one day. Though, I doubt it.
If they would decide to broadcast a tournament, I hope they create their own. No need to ruin current tournaments' formats with production notes from network execs.
Quoted from Taxman:People covered in Stern logos.
Instead of endorsement logos, it would be more like "badges of debt" for what companies are charging for games now.

Thanks for posting Eggbert - I never would have come across it otherwise. The author does a great job of weaving the article into a compelling story, but it's Robert who shines through... hope to meet him some day!
Quoted your original post to bring the link into the thread's most recent post...
