The chances of any movement on the blackout policy becomes ever more remote as the season approaches, and owners deal with a case of tunnel vision regarding economic factors. To place this in perspective, the last owners meetings had George Will talk about the economy, while the blackout policy took a back seat.

The sad reality for those living outside of the markets where their favorite team broadcasts is that odds are very good that this year – like the year before, and the year before that – will have the same MLB blackout policy that has aggravated fans shelling out nearly $200 each season with the idea that they will be able to "catch all the action."

good. changing the blackout policy would only further incentivize people to move away from where they grew up.

i knows moms across the country are against changing the blackout policy because they already see so little of their the cheat, colintj, u-god and so on.

I thought the Moms were tired of wiping Cheeto stains off the keyboards

and WANTED the kids to leave. You know, put in a wet bar in the basement too?
