Great points by Bill Daley of the Chicago Tribune… I know I’m not at the point where holding the glass by the bowl affects how I taste the wine… Defending our stem holding practices just got a lot easier, thanks to the points Bill makes in his article.

Letter to NBC about TribTron May 28, 2009
Posted by Matt in Sports.add a comment
To whom it may concern,
As a loyal Pittsburgh Penguins fan I have been very dismayed at NBC’s decision regarding the TribTron during this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. It is my understanding that NBC had no problem with the TribTron during last year’s finals and would have hoped your organization might have continued the tradition this year.
I do not like to assume why your organization has chosen a different approach this year and strongly urge you to reconsider your stance specifically for these Stanley Cup Finals. I do not intend to issue idle threats such as I will not watch the games as that is simply not the case. I will watch my Penguins “come hell or high water” but I will change the channel during commercial breaks, mute commercials, do whatever it takes to make it unprofitable for companies to advertise with you during this time period. Also, I will encourage everyone who will listen to join me in my boycott. Quite simply put, you are alienating an entire market of Penguins fans by disallowing the viewing of playoff games via the TribTron. Please keep in mind, in this age of technology, that my message is not geographically bound. I will use every weapon in my arsenal such as: my blog, twitter, YouTube, e-mail, and of course word of mouth to ensure EVERY hockey fan that will listen understands just how much I feel betrayed by NBC.
In closing I respectfully request you reconsider your position on the TribTron for these Stanley Cup Finals.
Kind Regards,
Matt Trevors

Email to NBC for TribTron – take 2 June 6, 2009
Posted by Matt in Sports.add a comment
An email to: jeff.zucker@nbcuni.com;dick.ebersol@nbcuni.com;ken.schanzer@nbcuni.com
Dear Sirs,
I hope this email finds you well; preferably on your Blackberry, enjoying your weekend with family, on the golf course, or whatever gets your ticker pumping. I am writing you this Saturday to appeal to the sports fan in you, to allow the Pittsburgh Penguins to broadcast games 6 & 7 on our beloved TribTron. As you can imagine having your team make it all the way to the finals; whether it is the Stanley Cup, Super Bowl, World Series, or NBA Championship, is among the most inspiring moments in a sports fans life. I have had the privilege of witnessing the Steelers win the Super Bowl in the last several years; albeit from the comfort of my home, and have dreamt of experiencing my Penguins achieve the same glory. As I do not have tickets for either of the final two games I think the best place to watch the final two games will be amongst thousands of fellow sports fan outside the home of our Pittsburgh Penguins. Thus far I have had the privilege of watching a few games on the TribTron and it has truly been a spiritual experience.
I understand there may have been some confusion with the NHL in the first three series, and as a matter of policy they would not allow the broadcast. I can assure you, I have been to multiple Versus Broadcasts on the TribTron, as have thousands of others.
Also, as I understand it, NBC has had their highest ratings ever for NHL broadcasts; and Pittsburgh is a 48 share. If it will help I will do my best to ensure EVERY person that attends the game on the TribTron leaves their TV on NBC for the Penguins game so there will be no negative impact to your ratings.
In closing please remember the Penguins raise money for Mario Lemieux charities, all noble causes by requesting donations from Pens fans. Although I do not have exact numbers I know that Penguins fans have been very generous in the past and will continue to do so. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if tens of thousands of dollars are donated to these charities because you’ve allowed the screen to be raised?
