"Family owned" is not a legal distinction that has any meaning. There are wholly privately owned companies, there are publicly traded companies. The majority of "stick and ball" sports franchises are owned by families. This confers no special status or rights to the owners because they have a...

You still have it wrong. Auto racing will never be akin to professional team sports leagues because there are too many fundamental differences in their structure. However, if we're going to compare, when an expansion team joins one of those leagues, goes through an approval process, and pays a...

That's awesome.

No, it was public. Pockrass and Weaver both posted about going silent for a while as they prepared to go into the courtroom to attend the hearings. The talk of leaks is just more fan fiction.

Generally yes, this was a terrible precedent for the major sports leagues to set in the quest to gobble up more revenue. Regarding what has been reported about these stories so far, the investigations and alleged crimes seem to stretch back several years. In the Billups case, they involve...

Average annual NASCAR rights fees: 2025-2031: $1.1 billion per year 2015-2024: $820 million per year 2007-2014: $560 million per year 2001-2006: $496 million per year I spot a trend, and I doubt a collapse is coming in the foreseeable future. Even amongst declining viewership, sports...

It isn't much of a mystery to those who have been watching carefully. Permanent charter ownership is by far the biggest piece. Perhaps it would be nice if NASCAR came out and articulated in public why it is so important to them that charters be temporary and that teams should have to negotiate...

Buh buh buh buh buh basketball Gimme gimme gimme the ball because I'm gonna dunk it! Yes, the NBA on NBC just feels right, at least to this child of the '90s.

No magic for the Bucs tonight. Impressive comeback from last week performance by the Lions.

The 49ers should have been penalized on the TD play. Oh well. The Falcons had a lot of chances in this one and executed terribly in key moments.

Excellent race. Sheldon gets another win over a very fast Emerson Axsom, who nearly scores his first.

The Broncos have now dropped one they shouldn't have lost (Colts) and stole two with astounding comebacks after getting pounded for three quarters (Eagles and Giants). It's wild how horrible and great Nix can look in the same game. They are very beatable, but opponents need to remember to never...

I'm not even sure you're supposed to try to score on first and goal anymore in that situation. The missed XPs are obviously the real killer. But in this new cartoon NFL in which 31 seconds and no timeouts is plenty of time, you bleed the clock there.

Just absurd.

I honestly don't get the difficulty with extra points. Amazing how many are missed.

Go G-Men.

I can't believe it took that long to throw the flag for PI. Cool that Payton caught a penalty too. Always a turd.

OK that was a little hasty. Hopefully the Giants can hold on.

Nice to see the Broncos getting their asses kicked. This Giants team really has something going
