Bold move there Cotton!!   😂

Seriously though, it depends on what kind of bankruptcy Bally is looking at.  Reorganization would keep them around probably, but it probably makes more sense to just fade away and sell.  I just don't know who they would sell to though - the leagues may buy the rights to the teams involved (although that's a conflict of interest) and then offer the franchises the ability to broadcast their own games.  That may be the most profitable way forward for regional sports.

Bally sports is fox sports south. It was just a rebranding. 

Technically yes, but definitely not on the business side.  Fox could negotiate much better than Sinclair/Bally ever has. 

Also, Fox wasn't trying to get blood from a stone in their deals.  Sure, they made sure to be profitable but unlike Sinclair they weren't vampires.

Also Sinclair took away our Marley Drug girl!!!

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
