No, I think the deal calls for the sale by April 1 no matter what so MLB will be forced to step in and buy the team whether the rights are attached or not. FUCKFACE is angling for this new litigation to last beyond the exclusivity deadline of November 2012 so he can sell them separately to MLB or the new owner if they find one by then. MLB can only hope that A, the team, land and lots will not cover the debt alone so the rights must be included, B, Gross rules against FUCKFACE's motion or C, for a new CIVIL court judge (not Gross who hasn't been a FUCKFACE's friend) to rule against him and deem his case against Fox frivolous since they are neither holding up the sale nor in breach of the deal they signed. Imagine that FUCKFACE!!!!!!!! You sign a contract and actually stick to it???
Meh, with all the egos involved, we're going to see a lot of posturing and bravado between now and April. Like a wise man used to say, I'll worry about it if and when it becomes an issue. Until then, why worry about nothing?
Yeah it's going to take some fancy Dick Tracy decoder ring to find any truth at all in the rampant accusations and complete PR spin coming from any of these guys.
Yeah... except Jack Webb died in 1982... and the world has gone to hell in a handbasket off of his watch
Because has shown the ability to turn nothing into something and drag things out beyond what folks thought was possible. Witness the divorce and the supposed MLB takeover.
My thought is that whatever and whomever wins McCourt will use it to determine his next slash and burn me first move.
