Is there anything that could be better then that?

I mean seriously. Could there be a better story then Mario and Ron Burkle buying the Pirates?

It could even make me a Penguins fan. I have never liked hockey but if they could save Pittsburgh from the worst owner in sports, I’m willing to learn to love hockey. Truly I am.

Do Pittsburgh a service and sell the team Nutting. Pittsburgh deserves better then you.

Fox Sports Pittsburgh: Savaran on Sportsbeat and another thing I’d like done for the Pirates

I’d like to see a new channel come into the area as a regional sports channel. Fox Sports Pittsburgh gets on my nerves. Over in Ohio, every single Indians game is televised on Sportstalk Ohio after they abandoned the Fox Sport Net Ohio… while we have a measly 120 games televised.

And if a scheduled televised game is rained out, FSN doesn’t automatically televise the makeup and when they do its the exception. Its like they look for reasons to avoid televising games.

Their schedule is filled with utter garbage that I can’t imagine anyone watching… and they just canceled the only show worth anything on the channel besides Pirates and Pens games. And that show just happened to be based on what I’ve read the highest rated show on the channel… But its to expensive for the cheapskates that will only show 120 games instead of the full season…

How about Comcast Sports Net coming into the Pittsburgh market? Or the Pirates and Pens forming their own channel together and saying adios to FSN like the Cleveland Indians? We are after all following the Cleveland model.
