It gets better.
Highest payroll in the league at $210 million. Another $152 million in luxury tax penalties for a grand total of $362 million. Just to miss the playoffs.
Almost glad to see people remember that yesterday still brought 10% tariffs on all countries. Plus, we still have massive tariffs on our 3rd biggest trading partner.
The red ones were better. Pretty much any red jersey they have done has been nice. Except that dual racing stripe one during the Blake era.
But I hate teams that make a jersey that has nothing to do with their colors.
One other thing. JPow's term ends in May 2026. It will be interesting to see who the president appoints to that position. It will be a dove for sure, but no clue who is dovish among the candidates.
Something that is simmering on the back burner worth watching. The US has just over $9 trilling in debt maturing in 2025. Since we do not have $9 trillion in the couch cushions, we have to roll it over and refinance it. We do that by selling treasuries. We are already seeing light interest in those. Dumping $9 trillion more onto the market could cause some issues.
Not making any predictions. But it wouldn't totally shock me if the markets just kinda stood in place for a bit. Once we start getting some hard data is when we need to buckle up. Layoffs, rising inflation/unemployment, bad consumer data, etc.
