Re: The Big Game
Old news -- Doyle turned Andy down (that letter's from about six weeks ago, not sure why ESPN's picking it up now), claiming that the eighth stipulation ("The game will begin on April 10th...") was too soon after when Andy sent the letter.
IIRC, Barry commented at that point that it was more likely that both sides wanted the video rights (still), and weren't willing to budge. Barry's suggested compromise, that the loser gets the video rights so that they can either recoup some of their losses or burn the negatives (if they were embarassed), was unacceptable to Andy.
I haven't heard anything since mid-April, though. Anyone actually hear any new news?
