I'm thinking the article about the positive relationship between Rubinstein and Leonsis as well as Rubinstein's DC orientation with Carlyle might mean he's willing to deal as long as it's with a business man and not a lawyer or real estate guy.
This is what I'm hanging on to. I think we all kind of understand that this team will be Ted Leonsis's at some point, and he is holding fast to not inheriting a team with a crap TV deal, especially since he himself owns a TV network. The Orioles not being in the hands of the Angelos is something that can only be seen as a positive for EVERYONE in the sport of baseball. We just all need to hold out hope that Rubenstein and Leonsis can come to some sort of agreement and then Leonsis will increase his bid (because now the Nats REAL value is closer to what the Lerner family is asking) and then we all can move forward.
