Dodgers $7B TV deal ruffles MLB's feathers

Bud - do you understand your own agreements? My guess is that the investment group that paid for the dodgers - led by a real money manager - did. I bet they found a way to limit their exposure to revenue sharing by setting up a network - Kind of like the yankees and redsox. (insert sarcastic shocked face) Bud I have a feeling they are not going to just do as you say "because you want them to"

Don't be so harsh on Bud, you're going to make him gag on his hot dog and spill his Diet Coke at Gilles!

I thought he might gag on the 10MM per year he gets for doing what exactly...??

Yanks, Sox, Mets and Rangers all have big local TV money. Now so do the Dodgers.

Nope, he's laughing his way to the bank on that one.I read an article on Bud years ago that exposed his serious OCD issues...had the exact same routine every day, read a huge pile of newspapers in the same order at the same times, lunch of a hot dog with ketchup and a diet coke at the same custard stand every day when he was in Milwaukee...it was kind of frightening, to be honest.

that is scary - I have to believe him will finally have to act on A-Rod

Not sure about the other three's local deals, but the Sox "local TV money" comes from NESN, a network they and the Bruins own, not a deal with a cable company. I don't disagree that Bud would lose this argument, but it's apples and oranges comparing NESN to Time Warner.

The Yankees definately own their network.

No deal if Bud doesn't get his cut.

abd selig likely will get his cut by any means,,, plus the los angeles county its about to acess a small amount fee or 5 dollars in everybody's bill, if they get the warren cable services or not,,the los angeles citizens are about to be paying 5 dollars in their cable bill,,,

the dodgers fans are about to be paying 5 dollars in their current cable bill, should they avoid any cable contract with warner? not problem the people in LA still have to pay this amount,,,

7B for the team that's probably going to finish 4th in the NL West?

Wiseup: Selig should read his serenity prayer. Let me change the things that I can change, and still try to change things that I cannot change. What have I got to lo$e, Amen.
