...technologically ignorant, MP3-short for Motion Picture Experts Group 1 Audio Layer 3-is the audio-coding software which allows fans to compress digital music files from compact discs into a size more manageable for personal storage and Internet transmission. While a typical digitally recorded song takes up about 40 megabytes of space, its MP3 counterpart only needs about...
Reports of the death of modern recording labels, however, are greatly exaggerated. For one thing, MP3 tracks aren't exactly the easiest things to find-ask any student who has spent hours surfing the net to find a particular song.

It's an ironic argument from a group of older white men who mainly got their teams for a song way back when or had them passed down from Daddy. There is also Milstein's "combative" style--but again, that hasn't disqualified others. Sports-industry experts say the unspoken factor is that Milstein is seen as an interloper in this genteel men's club. "For some of these owners, Milstein...
