Owning Up
Outside the Lines (Sunday, 9 a.m. ET, ESPN)

South Florida baseball fans love to loathe Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, accused of persuading Miami area officials to fund a new stadium only to unload most of the team’s top talent and salaries shortly after Marlins Park opened. With the worst record in the majors, Darren Rovell reports that the anger at Loria only appears to be growing.

“Jeff was no different than any of the other sports owners — and I can name them on my left hand, right hand, toes on my foot — who have gone out and suckered the public in getting public tax dollars to construct something and build something that they should do themselves.” – Norman Braman, Miami businessman and former Philadelphia Eagles owner

“If he wasn’t trying to win and just sitting back, not doing anything, then I would have a real problem with it. I don’t think that’s what happened here.” – Randy Levine, New York Yankees President

“Jack asked me the other day, he said, ‘Mom– what’s cancer-free mean?’ And I said, ‘It means you don’t have any cancer anymore.’  And then he said, ‘Will I ever be cancer-free?’ And with a brain tumor that they can’t get out,  the answer is no.” — Bri Hoffman, Jack’s mother

“The stupid puking — I always puked in the morning after chemo, like, 50 times.” – Jack Hoffman, on the toughest part of being sick
