The McCourts were on a whole other level of dysfunctional. AFAIK the Mets never hired a Rasputin wannabe to send cosmic positive vibes to help the team win.

Oh, I know the McCourts were completely out of control, just saying that they did the exact same thing the Wilpons did--taking team money and using it as their personal piggy bank, then winding up under water because of it--and they didn't get the same free hall pass.

A lot of documentaries are too long but I thought that one was perfect. Heck, you could probably expand it out if you wanted to go into more detail.

Ungratek posted:The Bonilla contract was actually good from a TVM standpoint! I will die on this hill. My issue with it is people every year are like lol Bobby Bonilla gets paid today! Even though there are a ton of other guys getting more money, and for longer. It's not that unusual! (edit) is Molly Knight the person who defended a ballplayer who everyone hated by saying "well he was nice to ME and always blah blah blah" and then people explained "hey genius he was flirting with you"

Huh? If you mean articles about them, then probably they are probably making a huge push for subscribers now. But also I dunno about how an article about a podcast they are starting in Bloomberg is cliclbait... If you mean on the site then I haven't noticed it on the team pages I visit.

No one is pivoting to video anymore. If anything they gave to let people go or close up shop, but I don't see a pivot to video coming. As everyone knows it was based on lies
