NBC Sports (aka Central Committee of Communist Party)

interesting comment found on dobber:

Fire & Ice has a note on how NBC has blocked any further viewing parties at Prudential Center or MSG. The Devils had one for Game Two and the Rangers matched that effort for Game Four. Both sites showed the NBC Sports Network telecast of the game. The network’s response, through the NHL, was: “Viewing parties can have an adverse effect on viewership and, hence, on our obligations to our advertisers, sponsors and affiliates."

Really? Is this what it has come to? Let’s make sure every sports bar has games blocked too. And that we can’t use PVRs/ DVRs, cuz we might miss an ad. And that when a few buddies come over to our house to watch the game that we all promise to be really quiet in commercial breaks... and that said buddies will also leave their TVs on at home on the game, just to make sure every possible ratings point is being squeezed out. Will that suffice?

what does this world is coming to...
stupid a-holes.

On the Brighter Note: Believe. Down but not Out. Lets bring it home for game 7 on Sunday. Lets Go Rangers.
