The Yankees WILL go bankrupt.

They are STILL looking for public funds for the new Yankee Stadium.

They have committed nearly 424 MILLION to their payroll and they overpay for yet another player.

Ad revenue even for networks are going DOWN.

These idiots, front office and players are only seeing the dollars in front of their faces and don't have the long view.

I'm all for making money but at some point common sense needs to come into play and realize you can get by on 10 a year instead of 22 or 4 instead of 8.

I'm going to even go so far as to predict as many as 3 teams could be on the brink of folding within 2 years.

Way to go greedy jackasses. Players and management you stink. :shocked:

This link is on the Yankees luxury tax. This was BEFORE the Tex deal.

http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2718:mlb-gives-yankees-267-million-luxury-tax-bill-for-2008&catid=30:mlb-news&Itemid=42

Based on the value of the CONTRACTS, near 490 million. They could have bought 22 other FRANCHISES.

The New York Yankees not only failed to make the playoffs, they were hit with their highest luxury tax in three years. The Yankees were assessed a $26.9 million tax by the commissioner's office on Monday, up from $23.9 million last year and their biggest bill since paying nearly $34 million for 2005. The Detroit Tigers, who also failed to qualify for the postseason, are the only other team that must pay tax and owe $1.3 million to the commissioner's office.

Checks are due by Jan. 31.

If NBC,CBS, FOX and ABC are LOSING ad revenue, of course YES is going to be in the same boat.

I'm telling you right now. Its not a matter of if but when.

The #'s simply don't add up. Your salaries go up. Revenue from ads going down, you raise prices on seats and clubs and there are going to be mid level companies in the area that can't even afford club seats.

Add to that an ongoing hit for the luxury tax.

They had to pay 24 mil last year BEFORE this huge spike.

And this is all from a economic perspective.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
