MR. AZOFF REGRETS: “I ended up in a situation where I had to break up Front Line because I merged with a public company and now I can't figure out a way to buy it back. If you ask me what my biggest disappointment was, it's that I made a decision to merge with Ticketmaster. I really wish we would have kept it a pure management play. That's my biggest regret.” As for his sideline as a duffer, “I always say if my job was this hard I would quit. Golf is too f---in' hard for me to play any more golf.” And we believe every word, because legend also has it that Irving never lies. (1/2a)
