Sports Business Journal has a story about Elizabeth Blackburn '15, the Cincinnati Bengals director of strategy and engagement, and her sister Caroline, a Duke grad and the team's senior manager of digital strategy.
Blackburn is the granddaughter of Mike Brown '57, the team owner and president and a former Dartmouth quarterback. Her mother, who happens to be Mike's daughter, is Katie ’86, who serves as the Benglas' executive vice president. Both are included in the piece.

Jake Novak’s Roar Lions 2023 blog kicked off a review of Ivy League stadiums on Sunday with a look at Brown Stadium. (LINK)
Green Alert Take: As the piece notes, Jake and I are friends – but that plays no role in my noting that it's nice to read something like this by someone who has actually been at all of the Ivy facilities, rather than by someone who has simply looked up pictures on the web. I might quibble ever-so-slightly with my friend's take on the Brown tailgating scene, which I've always thought was surprisingly lively for a struggling program, buoyed by its proximity to the field.

Green Alert Take: Obviously lists like this are subjective but it's nonetheless impressive that New Hampshire has had several players recognized already.
