re: ESPNs contract with the NBA

No it is not a breach of contract. ESPN overpaid for all their sports rights and are now feeling the effects of that

ESPN was operating like how the Texas Rangers used to with Scott Boras clients.

Scott - "Ok, we don't have a firm offer yet for ARod, and the Mets balked at an ARod merch tent... but it's going to take at least $120 million. What do you have fellas?"

Rangers GM Doug Melvin - "$150 million!"

Scott - "Ok let's start the pap.."

Rangers owner Tom Hicks - "No wait!!! $200 million!!!!"

Scott - "Umm... I didn't counter but ok..."

Melvin - "Tom let me do my"

Hicks - "$250 MILLION!!!!!"

Melvin - "Tom that's more than you paid for the team..."

Scott - "I'm going to stop you there before you realize what you've down and say deal. Now... did you know Chan Ho Park and Kevin Millwood are free agents soon?"

Hicks - "WE GIVE YOU ALL THE MONIES!!!"

Melvin - "shite, I gotta get outta here.."
