You’re an idiot.

You could prove that or not. mspart

Reinoso beat him in 1990 and 1992 in pool play. If I recall correctly, he also dropped a match in each of the OTT best of 3 qualifiers in 1988 and 1992. '88 was Randy Lewis and '92 was some dude from Michigan.

Pick this up. They are now not resigning them. They will try to find something better in that time slot that makes more $ than he was for the company. It could be a late night talk show. It could be a purple dragon. No business exec tolerates shrinking revenue or net losses over time. People simply get fired for that. Either the mgmt or the talent. Or both. there is a reason this is true in sales. Sales quotas only go up. Not down.

Ok. Who are some members then?

I remember Dake wrestled a world champion from Armenia at a dual meet or something and did pretty well. He lost but it wasn't one sided, he scored some points at least and was somewhat competitive. I think there was speculation he may go that route because he wasn't going to beat Burroughs at that time. Also I think Hancock did wrestle in college, I might be wrong, but I thought he wrestled D3 somewhere.

Of course Ross, but where you aren't picking up what I am putting down is the cost of his current contract is sunk. If the show costs $100M and that cost has been incurred regardless, either because it is money that has already been paid out or they are contractually obligated to pay, whether the show airs or not they will not be able to save money by not airing the show. On the other hand airing the show (#1 in the time slot) will leave them $60M better off than an off air screen. The overall $40M loss can only be avoided in the future contract or budget reduction either for his program or whatever replaces it.

...yeah, spinning

Back in the 90s, many Ds thought America was or is great. Today in the 2020s, there is no D that thinks America was ever great or is great. Therefore, how can it be made great again? That obviously means then that Rs want to make America a horrible place again, because it never was great, it was always horrible. mspart

Well you're wrong.

Same reason we didn’t go to 4th and main where isis is headquartered. You’re seriously just trolling. We all know it

Maybe Trump can decide, huh?

A net loss is a net loss boss. No one cares if your being in 11 trillion if your losing $$$

This argument shouldn’t be made on a sports messaging board. I don’t mean your I mean having to make mine. There is absolutely no appetite for a network to be #2 in any time slot. It’s #1 or people get fired. Same for sales. I’m in sales. If revenue isn’t growing in a space or sector. People get fired. This is how business works.

I believe it’s @jross who has an eloquent argument to why you’re wrong. Read that. Enjoy the weekend. show proof of real fcc threats. They fine people all the time. I don’t recall them doing anything formal. Did abc or Disney get fined. If Disney knee jerk reacts punitively 30 business seconds after some dude on a news show says we might look into something they may need to seek better corporate council.

LOL.

Hossein Rangraz and Farshad Alizadeh are his coaches. They are Iranian and were on the GR team in the 2000s.

obtuse

Correct because I understand the English rules and context.

How do they determine that?

Maybe Trump decides who the members are. What can go wrong w that?

you dont think the govt knows who they are? hasn't tracked them?

The $50 million you quote is the total value of his contract with ABC over multiple years. He has other responsibilities with ABC including hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire and various awards shows. I don't know what if anything in your figure includes payment for those other things, for which ABC has not announced he has been removed from, but assuming it is 100% tied to his late night responsibilities there isn't much left to save. It ends in May there is likely less than $10M left to save. ABC likely cannot get out of paying that money to him regardless and if they should try the costs of litigation will reduce any savings. Practically speaking there will be a settlement because ABC will not want their decision making process made public and for Kimmel to agree to a settlement it will have to be close to what he is owed. Trying to count the value of a future contract as savings from tied to this decision is a little deceptive. There was a financial reckoning for late night hosts on the horizon before this. When that contract with Kimmel was signed the format was profitable. Now there are not enough late night watchers to justify the cost. Colbert's show costs $100M/year to produce of which $20M is his salary and is losing $40M/year. Despite being #1 and #2 in the time slot no one was going to offer Colbert or Kimmel as favorable terms in their next contract regardless of Trump's opinion of them. Colbert's show losing $40M also means it brings in $60M in revenue. That $60M in revenue comes from advertisers wanting their ads on the #1 program in that time slot. Kimmel is #2 so less likely less revenue, but advertisers are paying to reach that audience they will not pay the same rate if they are airing reruns of the Man Show and a green screen will bring in $0 in revenue. Kimmel's salary and much of the productions costs have already been spent and cannot be recovered by this move. Cancelling him after the season if he was not willing to take a pay cut or operate on a reduced budget makes sense, but cancelling now only really adds up if you factor in possible FCC enforcement and/or the merger.

Who are Farokhisenjani’s coaches? Are they both Iranian?
