Just to avoid the block go high off the glass//
I'm killing them out there they gon' have to bring caskets//
This all I hear after the baskets *swoosh*//

The Mallofs resent being called broke.

They prefer the term “financially challenged.”

No shame in being broke

The shame comes in how they got there, and their feeble plans for righting the ship.

The Maloofs are not broke; they have merely had to recalibrate their business models to

accommodate an ongoing stricture in revenue caused by these historically awful, really-really bad, like seriously challenging and almost devastating, I mean if like devastating is the worst, but there probably is worse than devastating, maybe cataclysmic, or how about bodaciously beyond believably bad horrible-horrible-horrible hard times for like sectors of the economy that rely heavily on extra money people like used to always have to spend on entertainment and expensive booze — discretionary was the word — which seems to have dried up on account of people not having like REAL jobs or home equity to cash out on….sigh….

I wish I could see Grant's face when he reads this story.

For those of you playing the Maloof drinking game at home remember to drink a shot every time someone mentions them selling their “once-lucrative beer distributorship”.

you always know when its a true story

is when Grant starts ripping the Bee for its lack of journalistic integrity. Funny as the Bee hires journalists (of varying qualities to be sure) and Grant works for Maloof Sports and Entertainment. (ie not a journalist)

It's still lucrative, they just sold it, that's all.

A distributorship like that is like a printing press for money, and those buffoons sold it.

People love their beer.

It's a recession-proof business. When people celebrate: Beer. When they're down on their luck? Beer. Or Bud Light, if that's all you can get
