Terrible experience with @AmericanAir last month… 5 flights in 6 days. No communication.
1st flight- broke stroller, still no response
3rd flight- bumped from 1st and given nothing for it, still no response
5th flight- broke car seat base… you guessed it, still no response
1/2 The honest truth-In over 1000 road games in my life from 10-25 years old, I cannot recall ever staying the night after a game. Weekend tournament ends at 8pm- drive home. Getaway day game ends at 11pm- drive home. These teams are on private jets for the World Cup. And leaving
Everyone in the industry knows these loans are predatory. My 1st question is how does the son of a big leaguer get caught up signing this agreement and second why does a big leaguers son need this loan? I get why and how the kid from Boca Chica gets involved….
Tatis Jr. took a $2M loan that came in exchange for 10% of his lifetime MLB earnings.
So far, he will have paid out $35 million.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It was not a loan, it was an income purchase agreement where he sold away a portion of his future income (when his prospects were not as high) in exchange for a guaranteed payday.
Essentially he sold 10% equity in his future earnings for $2M in 2017.

Because Indiana basketball is a C-tier program who’s only made the tournament twice in the last 10 years…
I’m a lifelong Hoosier, but Archie signaled we were a b-tier program, and we’ve went downhill since then.
#iubb has the money to get anyone. why are we going after fucking Adam Olsen when there are Indiana natives like Flory Bidunga, Jalan Haralson, and Markus Burton, which fit all 3 of our needs? please surprise me and make me smile DeVries.
All non-playoff teams have equal lottery odds.
Play-in teams 7-10 get slight lottery odds bumps (encourage teams to push for the play in)
Incentivize teams to be ok developing into the middle (7-10) that’s really the one place you don’t want to be right now.
Adam Silver admits tanking is worst this year than previous seasons but speaks on the caveats that the teams face:
“It’s not what the fans what although my caveat is and teams are in a difficult place because many of you have written the worst place to be is a middle of the road team and either be great or be bad, because that will help you with the draft”
It’s not an incredible business, I can promise you that. Very few that try make this work. 1 in 20 facilities like this actually survive.
I don't say this lightly, but this biz is incredible. Here's why:
- 3 baseball fields in the middle of nowhere that PRINT CASH.
- Teams pay $1k to play & parents pay $20 to park
- $16 margaritas
- $13k/night to rent out
- 320 acres
- Ever hear of Graford, TX? Population 706? Of course not! That's because it's right next to POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE.
(These are all real things.)
Did your game get rained out? Sorry, no refunds, but you're welcome to swim in our pool or eat in our restaurant or drink our $16 margs.
Or play some disc golf, or shoot some birds, or hey, get married while you're here.
One stop shop.
I love everything about this whole setup.
The founder bought the property in 2005 and it was nothing more than a run down horse barn.
Today it's a thriving 8 figure destination that draws families from all over Texas.
"If you build it they will come?" Well, not usually, but in this case, yes, actually.
Only in Texas...
Yes, but the truth about the US justice system is money is power. NCAA still has more resources than Plaintiffs in the cases. The NCAA is concerned about antitrust issues that will end them. That’s why they’re lobbying Congress, they want an Antitrust exemption like baseball has

Indiana had the all time lowest winning percentage in cfb history when Curt Cignetti arrived. When he got on the mic at Assembly Hall and started saying everyone in the B1G sucked, I thought they’d hired a crazy man.
Nope.
THIS is crazy. Incredible turnaround. Salute Hoosiers
Been saying it for years….
A’s to Vegas (Before it actually happened)
Rays to Charlotte or Nashville
Expansion to Charlotte or Nashville + Western City (Portland/Vancouver have always been my prediction). Could see Montreal getting the last team as well.
I was a this game, straight line between me, home plate & Cespedes. Most insane play I’ve ever seen in person.
Feel so bad for players when this happens… leaving it all on the floor in the biggest game of their lives.

This is a fact
OG Anunoby doesn’t get hurt, Tom Crean is still the coach at @IndianaMBB. Look it up.
Indianapolis is a sleeper city… city is designed for major events & did a great job hosting a superbowl (and had great weather in February that year)
No, our prices are best prices we offer. Period. Clients who ask for discounts have much higher likelyhood of being bad clients.
