NBC Hates Pittsburgh and All Its Fans

by Adam Jacobi • Jun 6, 2009 2:27 PM EDT

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Penguins-centric Empty Netters blog posted this picture of Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena this morning:



It looks normal to the casual viewer, but Pittsburgh fans might notice something very wrong: the large screen on which playoff games had been shown is now gone.

Empty Netters blames NBC for the move, posting NBC head Dick Ebersol's phone number. Considering the fact that the network owns all broadcast rights, it makes plenty of sense, but HockeyBuzz.com's Twitter feed indicates that there's issues going on between NBC and the NHL and that the screen may yet go back up.

For now, though, it looks bleak.

NBC may hate the Pens, but they have a severe mancrush with Cindy and EvJenny

the content of this "blog" makes no sense in relation to the title. sounds to me like the media attempting to dispell the ever growing contingent of fans seeing the mancrush bettman has for pittsburgh

it’s no secret bettman snapped his spine after cumming so hard once it was determined to gonna be a caps/pens conference finals.

so really, he’s probably incapable of making decisions right now as a result.
