Forgive me if I'm wrong but this would be a clear violation of antitrust law right? They cant force me to watch some other team and not be able to see the broadcast for my own team. If only someone could clear this up from a legal standpoint — maybe a qui tam action is available, if not, a 1983 suit?

Your name says it all. The possessive call was Munson's trademark. I guess his successors have carried it on either as a tip of the hat to him or because they learned the ropes under him.

I watch NBC Live Extra every Saturday and have no problems watching BPL matches with a wireless connection. Across the pond, no less!

Diane crossed the contigious line.

When someone says only "Peachtree" it refers to the main thoroughfare from downtown to Buckhead, Peachtree Street. (Which, confusingly enough, turns into Peachtree Road in Buckhead, and later into Peachtree Industrial Blvd outside of ATL.) All other Peachtrees must be referred to with greater specificity.

I remember the renderings unveiled for a revitalized M Street SW by the new Nats park. Didn't quite look like that when I was there a few months ago.

Mistake was staying downtown. City center is midtown, probably 14th and peachtree.

From David Schoenfeld: (Although Schiller initially declined to say how much the county would be paying, this story says that Cobb County will be on the hook for $450 million, with the Braves paying roughly $200 million.)

Exactly, I grew up in Fayette County and this screws all southsiders. The inevitable crawl to the North GA mountains continues for ATL. Soon the city center will be in Dahlonega.

Those upgrades still wouldn't address the logistical challenges outside the stadium – lack of consistent mass transit options, inadequate number of parking spaces and limited access to major highways.

YES. I came here specifically to see if you had caught the T-Rex guy. Step Brothers-esque.

Leave us to dream (of being Cleveland 2.0)!!

I appreciate the nihilism, but you're not serious, right? This team (while flawed and clearly not capable of a playoff run) is far more enjoyable to watch than any Woody/LD-led teams that saw iso-Joes and Josh Smith 3s all game. Coach Bud has already completely changed the style, and if Ferry doesn't screw up next…

I was at that GT-Pitt game and the talk of our section (GT fans) was how incredible Donald was. Looked out of place on the field with 21 middling ACC-type talents.

I see what you did there.

Burleson has clearly done something to cement his lack of import, because he was the first person I thought of, as well.

Worst city for media/beat writers/scrutiny?

You're a true joy and an invaluable member of our society.
