Why are we still pretending LMEs are actually intended to help the company and thus “fail” when a bankruptcy is filed? The purpose of LMEs is to benefit one group of creditors in an inevitable bankruptcy, as evidenced by ALL THESE LME BANKRUPTCIES

Hey bankruptcy lawyers maybe be sure you are muted on Zoom hearings, not the best idea to suggest on a hot mic that Houston judges are ruling against debtors on minor issues to make it look like they are taking Jonesgate seriously (and there’s a long fly ball by Castellanos)

The debtors bear the burden to show their plan is feasible without Comcast, so this is really about what distrib info the debtors can use to prove that at confirmation. By refusing to provide that the distrib are hurting the debtors, not the leagues

Also leagues have not been at all together during the case; NBA/NHL were friendly with the debtors until the Amazon “investment” and “commercial relationship” pushed the timeframe for emergence too close to their 2024-25 seasons beginning, while MLB has always been opposed

The leagues are worried about the debtors’ projections, and rightly so: they have fallen short the entire case. The company has prioritized new deals with MVPDs over league deals, but doesn’t want to share the details with the leagues

Just a theory but: if Jones and Freeman go back to 2013 as opposed to 2017 (when they bought the house), that’s well before the Houston complex panel was formed in June 2018 and before the committee to “investigate” a possible complex panel was appointed in July 2017
