Well I'm no lurker but I said the same thing. Overpaying (much like the Sox overpay for their players).
Yes it'll bring them ratings but the Sox rights don't come cheap. Wasn't it $20 million a yr for 10 years?
Similarly, what financial genius at Greater Media gave Severin that huge 7 yr deal? Not sure how much
the money is for, but it can't be cheap either.
