Were terms summarized somewhere?

So...is the company referred to here the Cubs or Sinclair? Which evil empire is making that $40M-$50M? Since it's on Sinclair's earnings call, my guess is $40m to $50m to Sinclair.

i felt like the one in the nlcs got damn close The Game 2 one was an absolute shot but it hit the old camera well -- not exactly close to the scoreboard. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo] ETA: man, I miss Sammy a lot.

#EverybodyIn, [expletive].

FTFY I don't get it, what did you fix? It looks exactly the same. I was leaning on the... other definition of FTFY.

FTFY

Player hates quirky managers who use analytics, instead wants to play for... Joe Maddon?

It’s not lost on me that the Wood and Arrieta dongs, and probably the Miggy one (it was a back and forth to get Chapman out of the game as I recall) don’t happen in a DH league.

This was something that I looked back on after and laughed. As in lmao David horsefeathering ROSS donged off of Andrew Miller in game 7 of the horsefeathering World Series!

In his defense he hit a walkoff off of a HOFer.

Dat bat speed.

Oh my god how did I not think about that Kris game-tying dong. That series was SO sick!

Oh man, how did I forget this one? It came after the Cards were caught off guard from some bunting and were kicking the ball all over the IF. I was at the game and Busch was SILENT after this. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

All of David's are on my list. Some others. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo][bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo](I know, but it was big at the time) [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]I didn't appreciate how lit this was until years later since I was so sad about the loss [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

I'm not a businessman I'm a business, man.

Dude just like you don't know finance I don't know journalism. Am I allowed to type now that I did the ### thing? it depends on how badly you wanna keep looking stupid i guess Oh c'mon, that was a joke made in earnest. I'm not that mean.

[align=center]Those ancillary sources can be estimated and quantified; Forbes has already made such an estimate of total revenue. ###[/align] annnnnnnndddddddddd Dude just like you don't know finance I don't know journalism. Am I allowed to type now that I did the ### thing?

I'm looking at the line items of a P&L for an adjacent organization: a team that was operating poorly -- low spend/cost, low revenue. Because we know, for example, how cheap the Marlins were on marketing and promotions or anemic on attendance vis a vis the Cubs, we can attempt to fill in the gaps between that organization and the Cubs to come up with a reasonable estimate of what we think the Cubs brought home last year. The Marlins had low attendance. We know what the Cubs attendance was! The Marlins had low ticket prices. We know what the Cubs ticket prices were! The Marlins didn't pay their players. We know what the Cubs paid theirs! The Marlins didn't renovate their ballpark. We know the Cubs did! I mean, or we can just sit around talking about the Cubs have a higher valuation now as if that contributes to the organization's cashflows. Or we can say none of this matters because the Ricketts family can always sell a few houses to increase payroll. The Ricketts could today afford anything they want. They are in a private club who has decided they want to keep costs down and have artificially set a ceiling that they are agreeing not to go over. The Ricketts are one of the prime movers behind this agreement. Yes, you subscribe to what I like to call The Church of my Last Sentence, which is totally cool.

Lol how do you think the "3x to 4x what they were worth a decade ago" valuations are calculated?

If you had the P&L of a regional grocery store chain you could make some assertions about Whole Foods, by making assumptions about WF's superior pricing control, supply chain management, etc., yes.

Who is saying that? Each P&L has line items to calculate annual finances. We don't know the details of the Cubs finances but we have a team's actual P&L! And we know generally how much horsefeathers/less popular/less spendy they were than the Cubs are now! When we're talking about cashflow and profitability, costs have to be discussed -- seems like the focus here is mostly on revenues. Now do the line for ‘Unrealized Gain on Investment’ If you buy a dilapidated Victorian mansion at a relative discount, then take out loans to massively fix it up over a few years, you don’t just get the new market rate of the house in your bank account unless you sell it.
