Really. Old news. You just catching up. If we are to believe what has been reported in the press the McCourts bought the Dodgers for about 50 million dollars down and financed the rest through Fox. That was based on the value of some real estate holdings the McCourts swapped as part of the purchase price. Fox was losing an average of over 30 million dollars a year on the Dodgers and were very happy to sell. Since taking over the Dodgers the McCourts have made the team profitable and made it to the playoffs several times. The Dodgers have doubled in value from 400 million to over 800 million. They are doing much better than Fox did with the team and if you rated franchises I would say they are doing better than many other teams. So did the McCourts do something wrong besides deciding to get a divorce. Lots of people do that.

Craig, I don’t know which I’m enjoying more – the exfoliation of the McCourt fiasco itself, or watching your dormant law school instincts rising like a magma chamber under your cynical sense of humor as you watch this mess unfold.
