Why Your Favorite Team is Going BROKE, a.k.a how Bally Sports is bankrupting MLB:
The RSN bubble is popping. Bally Sports' bankruptcy is already completely changing the sports industry, and if MLB teams aren't prepared for the major hit to their revenue, it could bring them down as well. In this video, we take a lot at the rise and fall of Bally Sports (and the RSN system as a whole) and try to figure out where we go from here.

    Jeter has something in common with Ryne Sandberg. In that ironically the biggest weakness in their fielding was what fooled people into thinking they were much better fielders than they actually were. That being that they had terrible range. Jeter made a living out of making what would have been routine plays by almost any other fielder look like incredible plays because he was barely able to get to the ball. That severely reduced the amount of errors he got charged with, even though he still committed a ton of errors. And it also simply eliminates a massive amount of fielding chances because he simply could not get to balls an ordinary fielder could.

    What's hilarious is that there plenty of HOF'ers who openly admitted to cheating in other ways like scuffing the ball, amphetamines, etc. But these older/historical guys get a pass for some reason. The reality is the writers simply dislike guys like Bonds and Clemens because of their personalities, so they use the PEDs as justification to keep them out.

    I couldn't agree more with every word you said! I've been saying for years that the baseball Hall of Fame is a holier-than-thou, hypocritical joke for much of the reasons you stated. Especially given that Big Papi had the same level of steroid suspicion as Sosa and Clemens, and yet he got in on the first ballot, and guys like Sosa, Bonds and Clemens have virtually been banished to baseball Hell. However the thing that blew me the most is what they did to Curt Schilling. Essentially keeping him out of the Hall of Fame for literally political reasons. I know it's not PED's related, but I think what they did to Schilling is the most egregious IMO. So since then, I don't really view the baseball HoF as a credible and unbiased organization.

    In Baseball, Three strikes and you're out! Selig should be OUT of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

And, of course, the lovable umps!

    That Dick Allen did not meet the 5% minimum vote threshold to move beyond his initial year of consideration UNDERSCORES how incompetent and/or biased that great voting body, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA), truly is. BBWAA voters can pick the obvious HOF'ers (Cobb, Ruth, Griffey, Rivera) but add a smidge of controversy and their inadequacies take priority. Face it: By the 1960s all first tier HOF'ers having cleared the bar, why would 20 voters leave Ted Williams completely off their ballots? Numerous other examples of BBWAA bias/ignorance could be cited. Bias/ignorance have been with BBWAA HOF voting since the beginning (1936): How else does one explain how two pitchers with 373 wins each could finish with 90.7% (Christy Mathewson) and 24.3% (Grover Cleveland Alexander) the same year?

    I totally agree with you. Media is always the enemy of the people. I always thought it was so hypocritical that Ortiz and Selig was elected. Media reminds us that Ortiz is just such a nice guy how could we not elect him. But guys like Curt Schilling will never have a chance because he was not on the right side of the media.

    From the videos I’ve seen The holy grail Mantle is in some old dudes house with a price value of $40 mill, now that’s just below some other tool who’ in comments claims his Wagner PSA 8 is $50 mill. The problem with these prices are different grading companies and this shit system, if you claim to have the best, the only way to prove it is for all the grading companies to agree and I’ve never seen a graded card with several company names on it. This whole grading system is bullshit.

    Bonds and Clemens were first ballet Hall of Famers before steroids. Bonds was going to hit 500 home runs without roids, plus people forget he stole over 500 bases, something we will probably never see again. Someone in the 500/500 club. Roger Clemens was going to win 300 games by the end of his career and was dominant before roids.
