Get a clue, NBC

Does it bother anybody else that any time the Penguins are involved in the NHL on NBC game of the week, Sidney Crosby gets interviewed right before the game? I like Sid, but this is an example of why people do not like him. He gets way too much exposure. This isn't his fault, it is the NHL's and NBC's fault. They need to stop trying so hard to market him and maybe market some other players. Sooner or later, people are going to be tired of Crosby and just tune out. He is a very good player, but there are plenty of other good players in the NHL who could be interviewed. Also, I'd love to see teams not named Detroit, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia shown in the G.O.W. Look at NBC's broadcast schedule; those teams are always involved. People in Phoenix aren't going to become more interested in hockey by watching the same east coast teams playing all the time. If the NHL wants to reach small markets, which they have tried to do time and time again and failed miserably time and time again, maybe that is a place to start.

Players that get interviewed too much on any sports team annoy me also.

Just as much, I hate that some sports get less exposure than others, and that some players who are amazing never get any exposure.

but anyways, I like your blog.
I used to watch the Flyers. Haha. :)
