You had to know he would. I guarantee John threatened to leave while telling Moore “you don’t want to be the governor who let the Orioles leave town, do you?”

Bend thy knee.

I doubt it got that close. He was a campaign contributor and also took the governor on a trip to Atlanta, and has hosted him many times at Camden Yards. People should care about this kind of thing, but they don’t. Too busy scrolling social media and being tracked on their smartphones.

Is M&T stadium part of Camden Yards? Doesn't the MSA do many other functions? Who now oversees the MSA?

It sounds like a group of board members approve many things as a group. The Governor probably oversees it as a state run agency, but probably doesn’t do too much on the decision making process. Until I guess now. Trust fund baby likely has a direct line to the Governor with no checks and balances system for them.

Given that was a commentary piece written by the former MSA Chair, a Hogan appointee, I wouldn't be surprised if there was political motivations behind that and maybe everything he says isn't entirely factual. Doesn't absolve John for being a grade A asshat, just sayin'.

 

You know who comes out of this smelling like a rose? Steve Bisciotti. Since the two teams have to get the same lease terms, I imagine once the Orioles sign their lease the MSA will have to redraw the one for the Ravens. Bisciotti played it perfectly.....sign a quick lease that you know Angelos won't agree to and look good for the public, let John do the ugly work of trying to squeeze every penny out of his buddy the guv, then sit back and get the exact same thing for doing nothing.

Wes Moore, like John Angelos, is pond scum.
