Sir ... we debated "common sense banjo control." Our legacy of head shaking posts runs deep.

I was surprised to learn that he was already making about $40 to $45 million a year in endorsements with the Angels. (Much of the money coming from endorsements back in Japan). With this new deal, and being on a team that ESPN and other outlets want to fawn over, that number is likely to go way up. $70M? $80M? Who knows. I also wouldn't be surprised if New Balance really leaned into their relationship and created a Jordan-like "Jumpman" line and brand for him. That Nike deal alone has brought in over $1.5 billion for Jordan.

Oh, let him be. He couldn't even grasp the concept that the ownership would be in lieu of the $680 million owed, not in addition to. And "25%-ish" was just a random number. Could be 5% or 10% or something else.

I hope this thread was able to bring a little comfort to everyone as you navigated your way through a tumultuous day.

So Craig?

Which one

The best part of this is "Sources." Meaning (apparently) that he confirmed this information with more than one person. Lulz

From 2010 through this year, the East has represented the AL in the World Series 3 times. The West has represented the AL 7 times. But if you think the East is tougher ... ok, I guess

So that's not why he's going to stay with the Angels? Because they're in the toughest division in baseball? (AL West has represented the AL in 5 of the last 7 World Series). Come on.

Sounds like they're close and might just be a piece or two away

Yeah, but other than that ...

Proud of you! Avoid cars!

Yes! Funny you should bring this up. I watch a great documentary this weekend called Squaring The Circle about the guys who did a bunch of the iconic albums from the 60's, 70's and 80's. It was really good. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10850264/

That can't be true. The Biden/Harris Administration said we have enough money for both wars and everything we needed to do at home.

Sounds like a special episode of the Love Boat
