DODGERS GOING LARGE

In gangster talk that means a lot of money. How much is a lot you ask? $2 Billion!

That’s a lot!

That’s what an LA group, led by Magic Johnson are willing to pay for the LA Dodgers, and acceptable in a bidding by Frank McCort.

If the bankruptcy courts in Delaware and judge Kevin Gross approve, that is. Of course there is a lot at stake for everyone here. First Mr. McCort has a filing date of April 30 to pay his divorce off: and then there is the final filling date that the sale of the team, the transplanted Brooklyn Dodgers, now Los Angeles Dodgers have to be sold, which happens to be: April 30^th! There is the messy business of who is paying how much to who and what the debt will be and what money will be left for development of the team and the future rights to local TV revenues and the ballpark parking lots.

MAGIC JOHNSON JOINING THE DODGERS?

But let me ask this-do you really care?

Magic Johnson is leading this group in, and the question becomes will the group have staying power or will the Dodgers be in bigger trouble if this sale doesn’t happen? If it does, it will be the most any one or group has paid for a major league team in any sport, anywhere in the world!

TEBOW AND SANCHEZ: FUN-FUN-FUN!

That’s what they say, they being Mr. Tebow and Mr. Sanchez.

Let me ask you-if you have a job, and it is the only job that someone does in your company, and all of a sudden, your boss brings in someone else to do the job too, what do you think: more time off? Come in later? Take longer weekends? I don’t think so. I would be looking in the ‘Want ads’ and taking lots of notes on resume writing.

Of the two phonies we are talking about, the least sincere is Mr. Sanchez, because he knows what is really going on. Recently I wrote that the Jets might pull off a trade for Tebow for a quality player, it could even come out of Sanchez being traded for the same reason. I just don’t see this happening where they will get along. One wants to keep his job and one wants the job.

If I was Mr. Tebow, I’d pray that no one has screwed up my career. (Oh, I forgot, he does pray.)

CARMELO ANTHONY FRANCHISE PLAYER

Who are the Knicks looking to, to lead them to the promise land? Carmelo Anthony: great self-less leader and defender of the basket. All we need to do is get HIM on board with it. With Amar’e Stoudemire out with a bulging disk, there is no marquee player to step up unless Melo changes his dance steps. With $85 Million of Mr. Dolan’s money, that is the least he can do for the rest of the pauper’s who play around with him.

That’s all I wrote, folks!
