Wrong about exactly what? Because there are several things going on in this debate not all to do with the legal aspect of this case.
So Crane did no due diligence before he bought the team?
The bar that the Astros set for them to "compete" to not become a revolving door in regard to players was the CSN Houston deal and I need you to...
Look, I actually enjoyed the back and forth with the lawyers on the case itself. I tend to side with Refman's views of the case but did come to...
The horse is the Crane apologists around here. Boo hoo don't speak the truth about my Astros even though their owner is a hot mess.
As it is, carriers were ready to put CSN on... Just not at the price the Astros wanted. Can you not understand that is the problem here?...
They would have carriage only on their Network. The biggest Domino then becomes Comcast who has 40% of the Houston area subscribers. Besides...
And the same issues will crop up, plus the fact that you major league pissed off 40% of the market (Comcast). There's a reason the Rockets are...
So your position is providers paying FOX to not cover the team and CSN Houston to cover the teams wasn't cost prohibitive to getting carriage...

You are the guy who can't grasp things here. The FSN thing was always out there and should have been factored in to potential revenue that the...
Good thing you corrected that. Have Uncle James feed the tip jar so you can edit your posts.
So......why does FSN have to pay the Astros now more than they were getting before when they were with FSN, when they can't charge DirecTV more...
The Astros wanted it maxed out more than possible, that's what you can't grasp. So...they are going to get a better offer not having an...
And they will get crucified like I said.... Why would he get a ton more when according to Crane the offers were 40 - 50 cents on the dollar?...
Did you even think that through before you submitted it. Are the carriers going to eat the dollar because after charging the same rate when they...
Rightfully so?????? His long term plan shouldn't include pissing off large chunks of his fan base with stupid comments, boorish behavior and...
