NBA lockout and Yankees grand slam record

It’s hurricane Friday here at the Takeaway, and someone who’s never afraid to get out there in the rain is our correspondent  Ibrahim Abdul-Matin.  He joins us to talk some sports, including one seriously quirky stat from the baseball world when the New York Yankees continued to earn their out-sized salaries. Also, we will be looking at the NBA lockout. A recent piece by Malcolm Gladwell on Grantland.com says that the idea of basketball teams as a normal “business” is a fantasy, and so the idea of teams losing money and thus justifying the lockout is  completely  over the rainbow.
