Interesting to study this very sad story. If Milch played 200 days a year for 30 years he would have had to lose $12,500 per day to drop this much. I guess that's possible, but I expect more to this story will emerge.

Here's the link to the full Hollywood Reporter story. It's a really riveting read. And really depressing.
