Late Monday night, word spread on Twitter that 11 Alive was reporting Steve Belkin, disgraced former Atlanta Spirit Group member, was planning to ride back into town on a gleaming stallion and clog up the Atlanta Thrashers relocation to Winnipeg. Whether WXIA actually reported such a thing, I have no idea, as it hasn't appeared on their website or anywhere else.
I have nothing to link to here.
Will Belkin deploy his injunctiony, red tapey powers and use them for good? No, based on a tweet by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore. That July court hearing involving Belkin is just "a procedural matter" ending the six-year lawsuit between Belkin and the rest of the ASG and apparently has nothing in particular to do with the team's relocation.
