McCourt going to be funky rich, and still get residual payments from remaining ownership in parking lots?

Man that guy.

McCunt is a ...well... cunt bag
But I can't understand why everyone keeps focusing on how much money he's getting.
The important part is that he will no longer have a say in the operation of the Dodgers.

Time to move on.

New owners are paying the $2 billion in cash.

Straight cash homie.

MLB should promote/market the heck out of Magic, I would.

I'd assume Magic throws out the first pitch at the home opener, no brainer?

Magic makes a "no-look" throw to Michael Cooper, who slams the ball into the catcher's mitt.

And straight cash? Wow.

But this is obviously about the TV money.

the economics of the thing

"One of the things that commissioner Selig was trying to avoid when he did not authorize the contract between McCourt and Fox was he thought McCourt would take the money and pocket it instead of using it to build the Dodgers," Zimbalist said. "That indirectly will happen anyway because McCourt is going to get his money and the new ownership will have to use a good chunk of the television money to pay off their asset purchase."



"I still don't understand how you could pay $2 billion for the Dodgers and not get the clear title to the Chavez Ravine land," Rosentraub said. "Look at everybody who has ever been a partner with McCourt. I think they would tell you to get stock in Gaviscon because you're going to need it. Maybe he'll have a life-changing experience but you have a guy with a track record of getting into legal action with his partners on deals going back more than a decade. You may end up spending a great deal of time in court and paying legal fees against your new partner. I don't get that one. I know people who backed out of the deal because they didn't want any kind of partnership with him."

"It's problematic," Zimbalist said. "He was looking for some kind of ongoing income stream and he got it. Here's a guy who borrowed practically all the money to buy the team for $430 million and now he's selling it for $2.15 billion and he's coming out with a healthy capital gain -- it's repulsive. This is someone who doesn't deserve to walk away with a healthy profit after eight years of running the Dodgers in the most egregious, the most inefficient, the most self-interested, and the most vainglorious, idiotic way possible. It really is repulsive that he will still be making a profit in some way."

Anyone going to see the Dodgers on opening day? Anyone ever own season tix for the Dodgers? Dodger Stadium, home of the worst friggin' hot dog in all of MLB. I hope this new group does something to correct that.

THANK YOU!!!
I don't eat meat anymore but back when I did I would frequent Dodger stadium and buy the Dodger dog
The atmosphere is why you all reminisce about the Dodger Dog
That's one of the worst hot dogs bar none.

Absolutely. Dodger Dogs are awful.

Food concessions at Dodger Stadium have always been a pretext to take your money, with no intent to offer any real value. In contrast, San Diego's prices are about 20% higher, but the food is actually good.

With so many great places to eat near the stadium, I always try to eat before or after the game, and feel like a chump every time my poor planning leaves me spending $60 to give my family a horrible meal.

In the post-game interview, Kemp said after his home run, Magic shouted a complement. Kemp goes on: "And then I thought 'Hey, that's Magic shouting at me..." and then he giggled.

I know that's not enough to turn the team around. But it's enough for today.
