That's... Just FYI.
But with the numbers that you are familiar with,
How could you have justified paying more?
Because it was strategic rather than financial, correct?
That's different.
That's neither philosophical nor financial.
That's personal.
I know this guy.
Was I right or wrong?
You were wrong.
We paid more money than you, because it was strategic for us.
We paid more money than you could ever calculate on a piece of paper.
Today, as you look back, was I right or wrong?
You're wrong about my screwing you.
I paid an over-market value for a company which was worth more strategically and technologically in the Walt Disney Company than running it as a standalone business, which is what baseball is doing.
We weren't going to run it as a standalone business.
God forbid you could admit one time.
Just whatever.
By the way, I will hand on the lie detector test say, did you ever knowingly and deliberately screw somebody?
The answer is no.
