I’m in Rome-I saw the tomb of Pope Francis and I couldn’t help but think about the fact that he lies in repose eternally beneath some really badly kerned letterforms.

Because the Dodgers went bankrupt, MLB agreed to tax their TV money as if they were still a broke. That lets the Dodgers keep about $66 million more every year than they otherwise would. This exception runs through 2039, according to a league source. youtu.be/7xPt9AuxEAM
