Excerpt: "Two Dodger Deals"

"The Dodgers, since getting out from under the Chavez Clampetts, have done an amazing job at turning their franchise into a cash cow. They'll certainly enjoy -- and spend -- the money this new TV contract throws off, at least for a little while. As long-term plays go, however, they're more likely to be happy with their pitcher than with their television partner. When an elbow blows, you lose a year. When a bubble pops, you can lose much, much more."
