The mods are aware of it, aka they will honor the bet. This is light hearted stuff man. I'm not sure why you're getting so upset about it. Lol, I am not upset at all. Just find it annoying that you propose a bet damn near daily despite not backing up previous ones. Moving along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 5 minutes ago, Chi Town Sox said: And then potentially million's in maintenance, hangar fees, gasoline, insurance etc. Jets aren't just a $1m plane and a $200k pilot, it could be $4M a year to own. Silly law abider. I'd kidnap a mechanic, park the thing on my neighbor's lawn, siphon gasoline from folks at the local airfield, and find some cut-rate insurance based out of Mexico. Problem solved. On a serious note, though, I could be wrong, but a) I think you're a bit high on those costs (my dad owned a plane, albeit a smaller one, for years, and we're not millionaires) and b) I feel confident someone who earned $150 million over the course of their career (and we're ignoring the many endorsement deals a guy like KG would have) could, with even conservative investments, produce more than $4 million in additional yearly income. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my own personal practice, mind you. Zero chance he flies commercial to go sign a $350,000,000 payday. I know a guy worth maybe 10-15mm and he flies private. I mean, he is a dumb asshole but he still has 5% the money Manny has and .0001% the money Jerry has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't entirely accurate because there are other factors involved like you mentioned, but the Sox have as much, if not more money to spend than the competition and have the luxury of waiting it out. I'm liking the odds of the Sox getting one of them if nothing else, but getting both still isn't out of the question for me. I wish I could be this optimistic in life. I'd think life would be much more enjoyable. Alas, I'm me. I'll go 33% on Machado and less than 10% on Harper. Harper is too smart to sign here. He wants the lights and glamour. He's a Cubs/Dodgers/Yankees/BoSox type of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw an article at some point recently that stated the average private jet owner is worth $1.5B, I think it was on marketwatch.

Our insider information is zilch. For all we know the Sox contract 7 years or 10. and between 200-400mm. I don't get why were all so sure the cubs and the dodgers aren't looming more seriously.

Have a plane (could be old and used, as long as the range is oceanic), and a few yachts strategically stationed around the world, and I could vacay whenever and wherever I wanted.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing, but it seemed weird that he would give away his source, when he was VERY worried about his quote being taken 100% at it's face value.

Like I said, sign Machado and I'll be more than content. I don't think getting both is likely or realistic but my point was that the odds aren't as slim as SS2K5 is making them out to be.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 David Vassegh is at it again on his radio show today, and to paraphrase he was talking about the rumor he started and mocking Sox fans for being desperate to be happy about anything positive for the team. And going on about how they have been so bad for so long, and Sox fans freak out over this, where other cities wouldn't care about this news. And he felt like he was being attacked by hungry animals foaming at the mouth for something to be happy about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most (all?) fanbases would be excited about a top 10 player in any sport that is a FA supposedly leaning towards signing with their team.
