Game Changer!!! - Apple Prepares Bid For EPL TV Rights! This Gets Apple's TV Product Into Homes!

January 6, 2012

Computer giants Apple are showing interest in joining the billion-pound battle for the next set of live Premier League TV rights when the tender goes out before the end of the season.

The Premier League is seen as the type of premium content that will help establish Apple TV in the UK and boost iPad sales, while the iTunes subscription service infrastructure is already in place.

The involvement of Apple - and their great multimedia rivals Google are also expected to make similar soundings - would give the PL a hugely competitive market at a time when the price of other TV sports rights are in decline.

The three certain bidders will be Sky, who paid £1.6billion for their current packages, ESPN, who say they are determined to buy more PL content, and Middle East network Al Jezeera, who also have the resources to break the Rupert Murdoch stranglehold on the Premier League.

Sevilla fans paying to have tiny photo of themselves on players’ shirts

Always looking for a new way to squeeze money out of their most loyal supporters, football clubs have found a new racket that could soon become common practice -- letting fans pay to have a tiny picture of themselves worn by the player of their choice.

Taking a cue from the Million Dollar Homepage, Sevilla have become the first top flight football club to sell small squares within each player's number on the back of their shirts featuring a photo of the buyer for €24.9 each.

The idea of a company called Playing 2, Sevilla fans (or anyone else) can go to their website, select the player they want to wear their mug and the exact spot on the number they want to appear for the entire season.

From Footy-Boots.com:

As mentioned, Sevilla are the first team to utilize this money-making scheme and will soon be joined by fellow Spaniards Granada, with the Welsh Rugby Union team set to hand a UK debut to Playing 2 during the Six Nations.

Despite being only a 2 x 2mm picture...

Los Angeles Dodgers Player Salaries vs. Owners Personal Expenses = WOW!!!

July 13, 2011

These are not happy times for the Dodgers. They're bankrupt and at the center of a hate triangle between the McCourts and Bud Selig. The worst part is how easily this all could have been avoided. While the team is struggling to make payroll from month to month, the McCourts' pre-divorce personal expenses could cover every Dodgers' player contract on the books from 2011 on. Here is each player's salary, expressed as items from the McCourts' divorce filing. Salary data from Cot's Contracts.

The History of Wiffle Ball!

June 21, 2011

The complete tour of Wiffle Ball Inc.'s one and only factory takes about 20 minutes. And that is with all the technical details left in.

The top floor of the two-story cinderblock building off Connecticut's Route 8 is devoted to packing and storage. The ground floor has an aging wood-paneled office with five desks. And in the next room lies the heart of the 15-employee operation, where two injection-molding machines hum along to produce thousands of Wiffle Balls every day.

In fact, every single Wiffle Ball that will sail across backyards this summer was produced here. Just like every single Wiffle Ball that has sailed across backyards since the factory opened in 1959.

"You've got to stick with what works," said Stephen Mullany who, along with his brother, David J. Mullany, runs the company that their grandfather started in 1953.

That philosophy is how three generations of the Mullany family have built a company--and kept it thriving--around a single, unchanging...
