Over at Variety, I posted about the overflow of reasons that MLB commissioner Bud Selig laid out for rejecting a proposed 17-year television rights extension between Fox and Frank McCourt. The 11-page June 20 letter Selig sent to McCourt was posted by the Times today."While any one of the factors identified below would alone give me serious pause," Selig wrote, "collectively ... they demonstrate overwhelmingly that the proposed transaction is neither in the long-term interests of the franchise nor consistent with the best interests of the game of baseball."Here's more:... Selig noted that McCourt was rushing into the Fox deal because of his "desperate need for immediate cash" to address his and the Dodgers' financial problems, without waiting for the period starting on November 30
