    As mentioned, you don’t really need to see the books to know they aren’t killing it. Besides 50% to salaries, what about payouts for benefits/pension, I assume they pay a giant payroll tax like every other company. Now marketing costs, stadium upkeep, finance charges, blah blah.. then if some team like the Dodgers can show a $200m net at the bottom, people will be like “they’re killing it, greedy f***s”.. God forbid you pay $5b for a business and make $200m at the end (4% cap or whatever)

    That said, there’s something to franchise values that have skyrocketed, you just can’t spike the football on it. I just think there’s two sides to it, so I’m siding with the owners after the players dug in and refused mediation

    Bro, you can find arguments for whatever side you want. Show me some other successful businesses out there that give 50% of their top line rev to employees. I think it’s 40% to players, than whatever to all the admin…now all the other operating costs factored in.. you’re clearly a Dem. It’s not like franchises are flipped for profit all the time. There’s usually some major reason.

    Speaking just OT on food for one second, anyone try McDonalds “surf and turf”.. I don’t eat there much but saw it advertised and felt adventurous. But they just give you a fish filet and double cheeseburger and you put it together. I felt kind of duped. But after combining them it was alright I guess

    I love grilled cheese and tomato soup but for some reason haven’t had it in a very long time. I appreciate you putting it in my head

    I just clarified my joke post but I’m mindful I’m on thin ice for few days so I deleted it lol. Respectful guy I am

    So basically he died from Covid:)

    Bob Saget was a weird one. Apparently bumped his head and didn’t realize it..died in his sleep from head trauma

    Good for him. I have an advanced degree and honestly I struggled helping my son with 9th grade homework. Not using any of that s*** for 20 years makes it hard

    Figures in fantasy I’d be going up against the guy that had Trent. Doesn’t look like he does much besides score, based on his season stats
  11. connorp
    Hmm.. as did I. I was trying to figure why “they’ve”, wasn’t “we’ve”

    I’m just glancing through but got to the paragraph that said they really aren’t evaluated like a typical business based on returns. It’s a trophy asset essentially. Idk. Guess don’t care enough to keep digging in.. but obviously that’s important to know (meaning they aren’t seeing much larger returns in yearly actuals, just if they were to sell)

    How is the value of a sports team determined though. Is it really based on changes to the bottom line? I’m generally clueless. You know, is it like Tesla or something?
  14. connorp
    Fair enough! Thanks

    2nd hand smoke inhalation?

    What specific allegations do you think it’s clear he did? The sex seems to be consensual to both casual observers, as well as people deciding if there’s a case. His version of events of how things ended each time is very believable. As for super specific things: if he says they didn’t have anal sex, I’d buy that. That’d be a bold lie if she was checked out. Why go out of your way to deny anal sex? So on that note, I’ll give him benefit of doubt on punching her in the vagina as that’s just f***ed up. That was probably her lawyer putting that in there so even a guy like me would be like wtf is wrong with his guy. As for the punching in the face, that’s the only thing that’s more murky but if she lied about all the other s***, why believe her?

    I actually agree on the times have changed part. I think Kobe would be going through a different situation now. The media darling thing would help some but all the angry libs would make things tough for Coke and Nike. As for teammates, I think the main issue would be with LAD. They’re prob set on his whole deal from the distraction he was last season and would be again. I think most clubhouses he’ll be alright in, but some teams will avoid him anyway

    s*** sorry saw I’m up. Going to be a long min

    Bauer is also a white male. Not what you want to be nowadays
  20. connorp
    Yeah I agree.

    If you know legal jargon, “selective enforcement” is a thing. Notice Spanky’s post to start it was also deleted
  22. connorp
    He’s too good, and just not enough there imo. He’ll definitely be off the board for a number of teams though
  23. connorp
    Yeah, he’ll get dinged for conduct unbecoming of a player or something but it’s not going to be anything that will go past “time served”. Pretty solid comeback video there, someone will take him after all the $ gets worked out with LAD
  24. connorp
    I’m sure his lawyers didn’t want him spiking the football but can’t blame him. The smugness wanted to explode out of him lol.
  25. connorp
    I guess one could say you need to be nutty to be an extortionist
