Magic Johnson and his wealthier partners paid a huge price for the Dodgers. Are they also playing ball with the National Football League? All that space around Dodger stadium could be a challenge to plans by AEG, Mayor Villaraigosa and the LA City Council for development of Farmers' Field and part of the convention center. We hear what LA's learning about the business of big time sports. Also, promoters now claim California's rapid rail system won't be a "train to nowhere" after all. Will it ever get up to speed? On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, will big data and big money mean big trouble?
