I mean, even the Yankees threatened to move to Jersey once.

It was just to upset people though.

Don't they do that naturally?

Good because new jersey isn't even in new York, so the Yankees or giants or jets playing there makes no sense and is geographically inaccurate and

Well if NBC had the MLB rights they'd be showing the Yankees every Saturday...... just like FOX.

NBC Sports is the biggest joke. They have great commentators (Bob Costas, Al Michaels) but have the worst packages besides Sunday Night Football. They show way too little hockey on NBC besides the Stanley Cup Finals and have too much golf, tennis, college rugby, and one time i saw figure skating on NBC.

one time i saw figure skating on NBC.

I was so traumatized by the event, it made me think Gary Thorne was a qualified hockey broadcaster!

I take it you don't remember ABC starting their NHL package... in Mid-March.

Yeah with the offer ESPN had on the table it was gonna be ESPN2 all regular season. I was referring to the 99-04 deal where ABC aired a whopping 4 weeks of regular season hockey compared to NBC's (I believe in the new contract) 11 plus the Winter Classic

Right. But didn't ESPN/ABC get an offer for the 2005/06 season?

No. ESPN did not "get an offer" in 2005. They gave a proposal to the NHL, and it was lower than what Comcast/OLN gave the league.

In addition there is in your words "way too little hockey on NBC", because the current NBC deal does not involve broadcast rights fees, rather they split revenues with the NHL after the cost of production.

The new deal if I am correct, NBC starts airing games on Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving)
