I figured the MLB had an enforced monopoly on the internet, but do they? I mean like besides whatever business hurdles exist, is a team disallowed from selling internet media rights?

 

It's collectively bargained as a whole. Think of it the same as the national TV deal. There are no internet media rights for the Cubs to sell.

 

Could they start their own online porn site?

I'm cross-eyed, have chronic arthritis, and can't look at women in the face in real life.

For argument's sake let's say this whole speculation about FOX and WGN and the Cubs being involved is indeed the news and it does indeed happen.

 

Exactly how much money would be in it for the Cubs, and how soon would they be able to get it? I haven't followed the TV deal stuff too closely to assume as much off the top of my head.

 

For argument's sake, let's say the rumor put a very specific number on it, and it was right in line with what you'd expect from a market bigger than Philadelphia and smaller than LA.

 

For argument's sake, I have a boner thinking about that.

Guys can we all just let Kyle have his moment to shine?

 

So I just spent like two hours playing

on Rocksmith and almost immediately saw this post. It's a sign.

...both are as knowledgable as it gets, both, IMO are the best at what they do- really pulling for them to break the story- would be a coo

 

Apparently he passed it on to these guys.

What do you think of Rocksmith? Worth the money?

Yep. See the video game thread for a more detailed rundown of my opinions.
