I think there is enough complexity in accounting rules and how these teams are structured than an org can show whatever suits them in terms of a profit or not. When a team goes on sale there’s demand.

sure, but the actual "value of the franchise" is what someone at forbes or wherever thinks someone will pay for it. it doesnt have anything to do with revenue or profit and loss, which is what was being argued about earlier. ask tesla. a more accurate view of profit and losa would be found in the company's books, which we almost never see (and can be manipulated). that said, when we saw a snapshot of the braves' books this year, they should a very large profit. i imagine successful teams with large media contracts like the braves also show similar profits. but those are not all teams. the idea seemigly put forward by some is that owners shouldnt be concerned with making money on their investment and should only be concerned with "winning" because forbes magazine says their franchises are worth a lot. so they should just spend a ton of money on salary because they can and will still technically "make money." i dont think that's viable like i dont think the "poor us were going broke" line from owners is viable either. teams have budgets dependent on revenue and profit expectations. that differs based on markets. so be it. its not cause owners are evil.

Well apparently I am winning my marriage by a landslide.

They can't sanction Trump until he pays back all those loans.

Vote these pieces of shit out of office

the thing that is so dumb though, is that you are willing to do things earlier in the astronomical day *all year*, than just do them earlier in the *clock* day *all year*. You don't need to move the clock off the actual center for the day to do that. We are just such a stupid society.

The best part of that is not just his reaction but his comfort and ease in the reaction. No hesitation. He has come across that before and has spent time with kids and people like that. You can tell. Didn’t skip a beat. It was totally natural.

Remember that time that Trump had a downs syndrome boy run up to him. No, I don't either.

Btw Verlander made his return today against the Cardinals. Threw 2 scoreless innings with a pair of ks. FB averaged 94.7 and topped out at 95.8.

Game ends in a tie. Fire Ausmus.

Hoping to see more of Kody Clemens this spring... maybe, just maybe, it'll help put Willi behind us

How much is Petry going in the booth this season? Love the guy but really am not going to be able to stand listening to him try to be a broadcaster. Shep is bad enough. The two of them together? Please.....

I really don’t think they’re losing money on the bottom line. I think they’re doing just fine.

While you're heaping praise on the Browns, don't forget they traded the pick that was used to draft Watson.

No.

That whole thread or totally bonkers.

Yes they switched those two.

W on the jersey.

Already in midseason form

Dan Petry already mentions that "things look different this year" with the ballclub.

Headline reads Phillies in serious pursuit of Castellanos. Makes it sound like Nick is driving somewhere and they are chasing him through the streets.

Lucky today!

Are the showcasing Willie Castro at SS today ?

do it now before we get hit again as is happening in Europe. But I suspect the GOP will start to cut funding and these will cost money.

I hate survivle. And yet I want....no, I NEED to beat it. Daily Survivle 13: 5 rounds 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛🟨 ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 https://lazyguyy.github.io/survivle/

That is a nice looking lineup, for the first 6. The bottom 3 are going to have a hard time making the team, and need to play well starting today.

Bey is unstoppable on St. Patrick's Day. The green hair accent was the warning and nobody took it seriously.

This is as the most recent news I saw said China is attempting to show they are being neutral. Absolutely agree with this analysts views. Additionally, I would say Biden should put Saudi Arabia on blast for their snub of him. We do need them, but not as much as they need us. You don't want to help out with oil? I think it's time you get the hell out of Yemen and we're sending the same arms package we gave to Ukraine to Yemen, how do you like me now?

LOL @ Archie acting like Trayvon Martin wasn't discussed on this board ad nauseum and everyone is just ignorant about it. FOH

6 SOGS for Smirh in the first period

Please win. I have to live with the locals all year.

Happy now? Not a word about Kentucky. 😂

#2 Kentucky down to #15 St. Peter's

Oh my This Blinken, Sullivan team are not fooling around.

Montas would be a massive massive upgrade and if the cost includes Kriedler that's fine

fantastic video

i'd say its already a success. if they can get to the sweet sixteen with this team missing its starting pg? that's icing on the cake.

It is childish, but you know radio people.....................I have worked for a few that made bad choices and tried to pin it on employees and it usually works.

I'm sorry....who asked you?!

I’m cringing reading this. You are so done. Lol.

Then get him some damn glasses !

Its easy to make a comparison. Both were falsely portrayed by the media as innocent children and the media continuously used years old pictures of them as pre-teens. The other comparison is they were both killed in self defense when both were committing violent crimes. Neither were innocent and both lost their lives when their own actions got them killed by someone defending themselves.
