I would like to find out what the Yankees would sell for.   Soon, preferably.   Time for a change at the top.  Overdue, in fact.

I had a similar thought regarding the Dodgers. Just what is a MLB iconic franchise worth?

 

NBA is a sport I don't follow but that is a heap of cash no matter how u spin it

Kind of surprised by soccer team values and rankings, thought they’d be higher.

The opinion that soccer ranked so highly in this country is one of the most bizarre because in reality it clearly doesn't. Well it has a devoted fan base it just doesn't work yet

I just realized she could hypothetically be about my wife’s age.  My wife looks great, and better than ever to me…..but she doesn’t have LA Docs for every little wrinkle.
