Well this is interesting.

Saul B. Katz, who owns a majority share of the Mets in a partnership with his brother-in-law and business partner, Fred Wilpon, has expressed a desire to sell his portion of the team because he has grown tired of spending millions to prop it up, according to several people in baseball briefed on the matter.

Definitely a must-read, and a Mets spokesman says Mr. Katz is not selling.

Steal This Idea: Sports Team to Unveil ‘The Faithful’ TV Series

the faithful

When the team takes the field this season, we will unveil a completely new lineup of programming, both on 49ers.com and on the air via our broadcast partners, NBC Bay Area and Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. One program in particular has been in production for the past 10 months. It’s a show that is truly for the fans because it is the fans. Unlike traditional programs that other teams deliver, 49ers Studios is proud to present one that will make you laugh, cry and feel everything in between. Mostly, it will make you proud to be a part of the 49ers family.

“The Faithful” will debut this fall and will feature two-time Super Bowl champion Dwight Hicks as its narrator. San Francisco’s former two-time All-Pro defensive back will be your guide on special journeys into the lives of the greatest 49ers stories that need to be told.

Terry Watch Watch link: The problem isn’t the manager – Mets Blog – ESPN New York

The Terry Watch Watch is in no way suggesting there is a Terry Watch nor should there be.  The Terry Watch Watch just watches the media to see if a Terry Watch begins….Adam Rubin has a must-read today that I will include in the Terry Watch Watch.  Adam’s premise, with which I agree, is that the problem is not the manager.

if the price was, say, six losing seasons under (Alderson’s) watch first — plus the two from Minaya that preceded it — was that really great front-office work? Or if you fail enough seasons, is it simply inevitable that at some point you’ll accrue enough young talent to be competitive again?
