But if you think any kind of marketing is going to allow any of the other MLB teams outside of New York to get a LOCAL TV contract worth $55 million a year, I simply must realize that it's pointless to debate that issue with you. It's obviously the fault of the founders of all the other cities, who didn't find a strategic enough location for their towns, and didn't hoodwink the local residents out of the land for $24 in beads and trinkets.  |
BB, I already said it's "Obvious" that NYC can get a better and bigger LOCAL TV contract...
LA could do it, I suspect... The Mets could. Atlanta and Chicago.... Boston, Philly... San Fran/Oakland? Baltimore perhaps (But maybe not now that DC has a team)....
