Monday Night Open Thread

Here’s a really great post by Nathaniel Grow explaining an ongoing legal battle that may change the future of televised baseball. The case is challenging the league’s antitrust exemption and argues local broadcast territories create a monopoly. A favorable ruling for the plaintiffs could allow clubs to negotiate their own out-of-market broadcast deals, among other things. The trial begins next week. Make sure you check out the post. This is the biggest under-the-radar story in baseball today.

This is the open thread for the night. The college football national championship game is on (Clemson vs. Alabama, 8:30pm ET on ESPN), plus the (hockey) Rangers and Nets are playing as well. Talk about those games, Grow’s article, or anything else on your mind right here. Just don’t be a jerk.
