Ron Burkle is good friends with Ms. Giselle Bundchen, the world’s foremost super model. They sat next to each other at Super Bowl LII earlier this month. They watched in disbelief as Mr. Giselle Bundchen — OK, Tom Brady — came up short against the Philadelphia Eagles.
There’s a good chance that will be the only time this year that Burkle aligns himself with the losing team in a big game or series.
“Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux are paramount to the success that we’ve had, not just with their backing but by inspiring us to do what we do,” Penguins president/chief executive officer David Morehouse said this week.
