Selig not worried about Braves sale's delay (http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/braves/stories/2006/10/17/1018bravessale.html)
"These deals often take a long time," Selig said. "This one appears to be making steady progress. And it really isn't causing any problem. The Braves are being very well run by [team president] Terry McGuirk, [general manager] John Schuerholz and [manager] Bobby Cox.
"The fact that Time Warner does want to sell the club and we seem to be moving toward a resolution — of all the things I have to worry about today, that isn't one of them."
Time Warner broke off negotiations with other bidders in late April and since then has been working through the complexities of a tax-driven deal to sell the team to Colorado-based Liberty.
Ugh! Selig just make them hurry it up or force them to sell to an owner actually interested in the team ... paging Arthur Blank.
