Over/Under Blog: The Richest Owners In Sports

Welcome to a new feature on Price Per Head, The Over/Under Blog!

We’ll tackle weird sports headlines, drop gems from the gambling department, and keep you entertained along the way.

This week’s edition is all about the richest owners in sports, according to the latest list released by Forbes.

Over/Under: Steve Ballmer Is No Longer Richest Owner in Sports

It seems like the Clippers owner has been on top of this list forever, doesn’t it? The vision of Steve pumping his fist on the sidelines of the Staples Center just oozes with rich guy energy. The ascension from the league basement to seemingly perennial relevance just adds to Ballmer’s allure. But we haven’t seen Steve be Steve in a minute because, well, live pro sports are a tad different these days. Meanwhile, the Clips are not the world beaters most assumed they would be. To make matters worse, Steve lost the top spot to the owner of the Mumbai Indians cricket team. We’re taking the UNDER on this one, but mainly because we just miss court side Ballmer.

Over/Under: The Cleveland Cavaliers Owner Is The Third Richest Owner in Sports?

Dan Gilbert is not just the owner of Ohio’s NBA team, but it still hit us sideways when Dan’s spot on the list was announced. How is the Cavs guy higher than Jerry Jones? Robert Kraft? Steve Cohen? The answer is Quicken Loans, which has nothing to do with the performance of his bottom dwelling NBA franchise. Gilbert clocks in at an estimated net worth of $51.9 billion, according to Forbes. Numbers don’t lie but taking the UNDER feels right here.

Over/Under: The Atlanta Falcons Owner Makes the Top 20 Cut

Being the 20th richest owner in professional sports is still a lot of money. This is not a drag on the Arthur Blank who made his fortune with Home Depot. But this is a curious look at the Arthur Blank who owns perhaps the most up and down, disoriented, and disappointing NFL franchise Atlanta Falcons. Watch film from a Falcons game and take a peek at the stands. Drop a google search on “do the Falcons have the worst fans in the league” and explore the data that suggests heavily that, yes, they do. The fact that Arthur Blank still has a spot on Forbes’ Top 20 richest owners in sports is impressive. While we’re taking the under on the Falcons, we have no choice but to give their owner the OVER.

Introducing the Over/Under Blog: MLB Opening Day Edition

Welcome to a new feature on Price Per Head, The Over/Under Blog!

We’ll tackle weird sports headlines, drop gems from the gambling department, and keep you entertained along the way.

Our debut edition is all about MLB Opening Day!

Over/Under: Major League Baseball Wants Younger Fans

The average age of a baseball fan is 57. That’s the oldest in all of sports with NFL fans clocking in at 50 for second-oldest. The national pastime, understandably, wants Generation Z to fall in love with their product. Their plan is to speed up the game while also reducing the number of strikeouts. Baseball’s minor leagues are in the process of more radical changes, like instituting a pitch clock and limiting defensive shifts. If they really want younger fans they’ll let their players show personality and be unapologetically bold with their emotions. Until MLB lets stars like Fernando Tatis Jr. flip bats with no repercussions, we’re taking the UNDER. 

Over/Under: The League is Catching Up To Tampa

In 2019 the Tampa Bay Rays became the first professional sports team to go completely cashless. Turns out that was a good idea and now the rest of the world is catching up. While we’re not sure when Tampa, Florida became the trendsetter for public health and efficiency matters, we are glad to see that, according to Front Office Sports, at least 14 more teams are joining the cashless ranks in MLB. It’ll be great to see the whole league go cashless, so we’re smashing the OVER on this one.

Over/Under: Everyone Loves the Dodgers

The other city on top of the sports world (besides the aforementioned Tampa) is Los Angeles. The Dodgers are responsible for at least half of that celebratory vibe in L.A. and the plan is for the southern California super team to run it back in 2021. But the last time that happened was in 1999 when the New York Yankees repeated. Mookie Betts was 7 years old and if you were “cashless” in 1999 that just meant you didn’t have a job or you just got robbed. We’re going with the UNDER on the Dodgers repeating.

See you next week for a new edition of Over/Under!
