As far as the NFL's total revenue, do you really think you or anyone else has an accurate guage of what they are really taking in? The fact is, the Player's association is going after the books pretty hard.

If anyone, you included, really thinks that Mlb's total revenue is equal to the NFL's revenue, there is a bridge in arizona to buy and a short bus to ride over it on.

So they are just making this stuff up? Why would they do that?

I just thought it was interesting that "competitive balance" was given as a reason for the increase in revenues since you more or less called me an idiot for suggesting that it was important.

But of course they have an agenda and are lying so I am still "wrong".

Its not about being "right" or "wrong". The commissioner and his underlings have an agenda and you know it. Regardless of whether or not that agenda is in the best interest of baseball as a whole is debatable but his position on the subject of "competitive balance" is well documented and his own team is one of the chief beneficiaries of that position. Is anything I say here inaccurate?

Any story that claims that baseball is equal to the NFL in total rev has to be looked at with an extreme amount of skepticism if not dismissed as utter garbage.

I suppose that yeah this is a conspiracy to prop up the Brewers.

So I post something that supports a statement that I made (and hardly a controversial one since it has been the 2nd biggest topic in baseball for years) but you summarily dismiss it because of some theoretical agenda and supposed campaign of disinformation from MLB executives?

Have you been taking classes on the Riot-style of denial posting?

Selig is commissioner. He has interest in the brewers. Fact? Yes.

Selig's brewers benefit from revenue sharing. Fact? Yes.

Selig has been pushing revenue sharing for the last 20 years. Fact? Yes.

Revenue sharing has been a hot topic in baseball and there has been a big fight over the years. Fact? Yes.

So does Selig have any Agenda? LOL. No, I guess not.

Bud Selig sold his interest of the brewers 5 years ago

The "arcitcle" that you googled was from 2006. The numbers were from the preceeding years. Try again.

There is no doubt that the NFL has been a much better run organization than Major league baseball over the last 40 years. There is also little question that football's moves including revenue sharing, tv contracts and overall marketing has been far better than the MLB. I am not in any way saying that TV alone set football apart.

However, I don't think the rev sharing was the primary force as I thought you had said. If I misread that, then this is all moot.

Oct of 2007 isn't 2006. And why would it matter anyway?
