The Orioles and Nationals reach a settlement in the MASN dispute

[LTO's]

Finally.

 

Hopefully they can straighten out the rest without resorting to the courts.

Should make the Nats easier to sell.

Nationals need to get off our turf

And hopefully facilitates the sale of the O’s to a competent ownership group, one who will actually spend to keep and acquire players, I long for the day when an Angelos has not a damn thing to do with the O's

The odds of this not going to court should be fairly decent.  The question is when does the RSDC get involved?

The Orioles won't be sold as long as Peter Angelos is still alive.

Any chance this brings the all star game to Camden?

Pigs fly!  I said that after the court case was over, grown ups would be able to settle this quickly, but I didn’t expect the two sides to act like grown ups.  Glad this phase is over.  

It also should be possible for grown ups to resolve the 2017-21 and 2022-26 rights fees now without further litigation or arbitration, but we’ll see what happens.

I can only imagine the foresight that will take.

I'm with you guys. Get them off our turf.  I liked when Camden Yards was packed to capacity and rocking in the days long before the Washington Expos. 

One would also think that they would save money by avoiding litigation in courts. Lawyers and court fees aren't cheap.

Oops!  I believe they’ll be beaming the games directly into our brains by then.

One can only imagine if they gave them 100m, how much the network made overall during that period.  I mean that was just how much they shorted them. The other number had to dwarf that one.  Just trying to keep the lights on. Oh and have rights fees gone up or down since then? What excuses they got now?
