YES Network's Bob Lorenz charged with DUI Published: February 9, 2012 8:44 AM By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WESTPORT, Conn. -- YES Network television host Bob Lorenz has been charged with drunken driving in Connecticut where police say he was found passed out in his car in his hometown of Westport. The 48-year-old Lorenz was arrested early Wednesday morning. Police say they found him slumped over the wheel of his car and when they woke him up he drove away slowly and nearly hit a utility pole. Officers say his speech was slurred and he smelled of alcohol. Lorenz hosts pregame and postgame shows for the New York Yankees and New Jersey Nets. He was arraigned Wednesday at Norwalk Superior Court and his case was continued to Feb. 29. There's no phone listing for Lorenz and it's not clear if he has a lawyer. A Yes Network spokesman declined to comment.

Possibly your best work yet......bravo

Yeah my first reaction was too tall for Murphy and a bit lean, still that face looks like a Murphy.

editor, ok , still a dick .

Cerrone came across like a dick with his " did YOU talk to Jay himself?", " oh it was your agent and you take his word on that?"..paraphrasing there but come the fuck on right there.

some pix of facebook Murphy? Collins sporting some cools runners who's that with him?

If the Mets have a problem with his writing, then sue him for libel or get another reporter to give their "side of the story." fairly interesting conversation between Megdal and Cerrone on twitter right now.

The team declined to respond to my multiple attempts to reach them for a fuller explanation.

It's really interesting though. 3% of 3 billion is 90k. The Mets are selling 3% shares at 20k. I dunno, Dodgers own Chavez Ravine , ups the value a lot.

Having a hard time believing that the Mets are worth anywhere near $2 billion...

If Frank McCourt's L.A. Dodgers go for $2 billion, Fred Wilpon's NY Mets could be worth more Franchise values in baseball are about to take a quantum leap Ever so gradually, Frank McCourt has gone from the most villified owner in baseball to everyone�s guardian angel; from Bud Selig�s worst nightmare to the commissioner�s fondest dream. Such is the stunning fallout from McCourt plunging the Los Angeles Dodgers into bankruptcy court and the subsequent forced auction in which seven or eight of the richest men in America are all bidding against each other for the right to own one of baseball�s signature franchises. The first elimination round was completed last week with those advancing all committed to paying a minimum of $1.5 billion for the team. When you consider the previous highest price a baseball team fetched was the $845 million from Tom Ricketts for the Chicago Cubs in 2009, this is staggering, especially when you also consider the substantial wealth of all the remaining bidders will surely drive the ultimate sale price to $2 billion. Suddenly, from the unlikeliest of sources, franchise values in baseball are about to take a quantum leap that, as recently as six months ago, nobody in the game could have foreseen. �It�s mind-boggling,� said one industry insider. �If the Dodgers are worth two billion, what are the Yankees worth? Between their brand alone, plus their network, stadium and all their other built-in revenue, you�d have to say almost twice as much.� To which I countered: Never mind the Yankees. What about the Mets? �The Mets,� the insider said, �are probably the biggest beneficiaries of all in this Dodger sale.� Who�d have thought it? Certainly not Fred Wilpon. But Frank McCourt is about to be his salvation. For if the Dodgers wind up selling for $2 billion or more, the value of the Mets, a signature franchise in their own right, in the country�s largest media market with their own network and new stadium, despite their present hard times, have to be worth close to $3 billion. �What that means,� said the insider, �is that the Wilpons can now go back to their banks, point to the value of the team, and say: �Lend us more money.�� Yes, thanks to Frank McCourt�s multi-million dollar divorce, which set in motion this ironic sequence of events, Wilpon is about to have more collateral than he ever dreamed of. One person who obviously understands what the record-shattering Dodger sale will mean for the Mets � if only because he�s been one of the driving forces in it � is Steve Cohen, the Connecticut-based billionaire founder of SAC Capital Advisors investment firm. It was revealed last week that Cohen was in place to be one of the limited investors in the Mets, spending $20 million for one of 10 shares being offered for sale by the cash-strapped Wilpons in order to enable them to pay down some $65 million in loans. In doing so, you could say Cohen is hedging his bets. In either case, it�s a win-win for him. If he gets the Dodgers, it�s obviously a huge win, but if he doesn�t, his $20 million investment in the Mets figures to be worth a whole lot more with the re-evaluation of the team�s value in the wake of the final Dodger price tag. But what makes this all even more remarkable is the dramatic change of fortunes with the Dodgers from when McCourt first bought them from Fox/News Corp in 2004. At the time, McCourt had most recently been a disappointed suitor for the Red Sox, who, with some deft behind-the-scenes manipulation on Selig�s part, were sold for a then-record $660 million to Florida Marlins owner John Henry in March of 2002. When Fox put the Dodgers up for sale two years later, nobody was interested in them. Philanthropist Eli Broad, acknowledged as the wealthiest man in Los Angeles at the time, showed a token interest in buying the team, but in the end, Selig guided the sale of the team to McCourt for $430 million, about $80 million more than the record price News Corp had paid Peter O�Malley for the team in 1998. Now, 14 years later, O�Malley is back, aligned with one of the remaining bidding groups, trying to buy the Dodgers back for nearly three times more than what he sold them for. So what happened? �What has occurred is a dramatic change of circumstances in that, back in 2004, baseball was still viewed as labor idiots, the Dodgers were locked in a vastly undervalued TV contract, and the economic changes from the 2002 labor agreement hadn�t fully kicked in,� said another industry insider. �You can�t underestimate the value of an expiring TV deal in that market, with both Fox and Time Warner competing against each other. Now, under Selig, baseball has had years of labor peace and franchise values have continued to increase considerably.� Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/frank-mccourt-a-dodgers-2-billion-fred-wilpon-ny-mets-worth-article-1.1017187#ixzz1lbxOcBek Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/frank-mccourt-a-dodgers-2-billion-fred-wilpon-ny-mets-worth-article-1.1017187#ixzz1lbxJXfgM

Plans for the Rams playing "home" games in London going pear shaped as we speak http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/feb/03/st-louis-rams-wembley-nfl?CMP=twt_gu The issue relates to the terms of the Rams' existing lease in St Louis, which states they must play all their home games at the Edward Jones Dome. The point was raised by the St Louis Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) � the public agency which runs the stadium following the league's announcement of plans for the Rams to play home games in London in each of the next three years.
