    Arizona Fall League

    The AFL is almost here and Boston has an interesting group headed there. Casas is the headliner, of course. The other position players are Jeter Downs and catchers Connor Wong and Kyle Cottam. On the pitching side Seabold and Winckowski are the headliners. But Winckowski was merely cromulent...

    The Greatest Deal in Business History Coming to a Close

    The NBA, under pressure by the US Federal Courts' decision that all the communications revenue streams not covered by their 1976 deal with Ozzie and Daniel Silna (because they didn't exist) were part of it, is finally settling up with the brothers for $500 million. The best part? It's only a...
