Local news in Atlanta tonight at 6 had a statement by Don Waddell that said ASG continues to look for someone to keep the team in Atlanta (yeah, sure DW. ). NOTHING will be finalized until the BoG votes in June and anyone can still approach about buying the franchise until then for a "big discount" to keep it local...(Yeah, but wait til you have to negotiate a lease!)
Waddell says he's answered the calls of almost 20 people interested but nothing developed.....(Atlanta calls total BS! More fluff to defend quick move to Winnipeg, Don?)
Last night, the bozo known as Gearon said it was 80% but room for a local still. No Exclusive Period.
Not trying to ruffle feathers in a basically Winnipeg thread, but it was reported by legit TV news on 2 different channels in Atlanta. The media has really started to rally around this and it's almost exciting to see the media attention for the first time ("almost" because it sucks that it is taking this event to bring attention at all).
As much as the Canadian media had all the rumors flowing since Phoenix, I'm thinking Atlanta media might be the real deal because they have nothing at stake. Tomorrow will be college football summer practices for them when the Thrasher future is decided.....
