Even with the poker it was the exact same episode over and over again.

Poker tournaments from years ago or Tom Davis talking baseball/football outside in the park. Riveting.

Niche complaing, and it's just because I was once a journalist, but it's wild they didn't credit Ourand for breaking it. 

I feel like they never credit sources when it comes to stuff like this.

Tonight, there will be quality adult beverages served to spouse and guests that is normally reserved for Cowboys losses and the day the Yankees season ends.

The crack of dawn.... coming up over a young, exciting, and talented team, of which their agents are sharpening pencils and perusing the Robb Report.......

Praise Baby Cheeses!

The money Bisciotti paid Modell was 49% before he took full control. Art put back into the team. Art had 4 years before Steve had the option to take full control. 
 

 

And?

Does the Simpsons have a reference for everything?

Probably.  Approaching 800 episodes now.

The major news outlets usually don't except when it's one of their own reporters breaking the news.

Is this the best day in franchise history since October 16, 1983?

Some actual sports programming on MASN outside of O's games.  No poker is not a sport.

And a legitimate streaming app with a paid subscription so I don't have subscribe to Fios or Comcast or use an "illegal" VPN to actually watch the team play.

Maybe this is naive, but Rubenstein is an Os fan--thus, he probably follows the team, knows how successful Elias has been, and just gives a great mind a budget.  It's not like some Bay Area tech billionaire is buying the team. 

Agreed I can tell a younger professor or faculty member at the college even if don’t know who they are with what they put on their wish list for budget and hiring.  Younger person has a giant list of all their ideas and goals.  I get something with just basics I am like ok this guy has been to this rodeo before,

It’s appears Rubenstein will have control at approval, the balance of the sale is a tax matter.

Is there any team in baseball that has a standalone streaming app?  I don’t think so.

Good this was the one thing I wanted to hear. I assumed Rubenstein would have control of the daily operations once getting approved by the owner's committee, but it's reassuring to know.
