And as every Thrasher fan knows, this is not a new phenomenon...<BR/> <BR/>Is it because Atlanta (the metro area) is too nice? Too comfortable? Could there be a "meh" (as you 20-somethings say) attitude from the city that rubs off on the team (or even vice-versa)?<BR/> <BR/>************<BR/> <BR/>As many of you know, Don Waddell is not exactly my favorite person. I don't hate him in the way I hate Keith Olbermann; I just hate him as a GM. But, prodded by a comment on AJC.com last night, I'm beginning to understand why he was kept on as GM for this season: Atlanta Spirit ("Goooooooooo Team!") knew that this season would be difficult because of the upcoming trial, and knowing that there would be a limited budget, felt that bringing in someone new might be unfair to that person.<BR/> <BR/>However, even if the ASG were to win the case, they would still need the cash to buy out Steve Belkin, or that Belkin could even appeal, dragging this case out to 2010(!)...If this mess isn't settled by the end of NEXT season, we may have heard our last goal call by My Favorite Kamalian...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
