I thought he was talking about the red border, around the comment box.. My apologies.. Of course, if he isn’t seeing an actual White background – of course that’s reason to have bleeding eyes!! My fault, JD!

My understanding is that the concert end of the business is what is providing the most (or at least best) revenue for the business. Which makes sense of this story, revenues for the concert business are heavily concentrated in the summer. Expenses for the concert business not so much (there is overhead, marketing, advances to secure the best artists, etc.) Also the team expenses would go down in the summer. More to the point, we are talking low-interest credit facility. If you can borrow money at low interest and earn more from that capital than the interest rate, you have a fiduciary duty to borrow. But you are right, outstanding debt and seasonal revenue streams do tend to complicate valuations, which complicates sale negotiations as both sides try to find ways to take advantage of basically everything and write contract language to do this.

firefox with the adblock add-on on makes the background all red.

J.D., what browser are you using? The background behind the black text should be white. We’ve had some problems that we’re looking into, but if you can send any info about your browser, operating system, etc., we’d appreciate it.

It’s really affecting your eyes bro? If so, get them bad boys checked… Last I checked, Red, White and Blue are Pistons through and through.. Color scheme is quite fitting, and you have to be the first person ive ever seen make that comment..

Well putting out that product the last two years puts less butts in the seats. I don’t know what the attendace was exactly, but there hasn’t been many people the last couple of years. I would guess jersey sales are down a lot as well. Hopefully Gores can get some of the dysfunctional players out of here and get a coach that this team can respect.

Oh my bleeding eyes… Your content is great, but did you ever consider going with a background color other than red?
