Angelos is scum
Besides looking like a troll, he is the embodiment of everything people hate about sleazy money-grubbing lawyers. The Nats will be on a local TV network owned by him - not the station itself - he is hoping to create a 'regional sports network' like NESN for the Red Sox - and at the beginning, he gets 90 percent of the profits, if there are any. That was supposedly done to keep him from suing baseball over territorial rights and exposing all their little secrets.
There was a party at a downtown DC hotel last night for the Nats, comlete with all the local station's reporters, the mayor and assorted ex-Senator players like Frank Howard. In the meantime about 15 minutes away in Chevy Chase, MD, columnist George Will (he is an Orioles season ticket holder) had his annual party for Angelos. Usually they have it the night before the O's opener, but this year they moved it for some reason? Angelos buddy Bud Selig was at the Will party by the way.
