and one more time, counselor - read what i wrote!

i wrote it from a broadcaster's perspective, not the employee 
of "carr's agent."

i'm not all that concerned about the outcome of Howie's thing.  i'm 
more concerned about how this will affect ME and other broadcasters 
who have seen this "right to match" clause creep into contracts - a 
clause that seemingly is quite effective in acting as a no-compete 
without really being one, provided the potential former employer has a 
deep enough wallet and the desire (or vengefulness) to keep someone 
around who really doesn't want to be there. 

thanks.  now help me get this splinter out of my backside, willya?
