There's nowhere to hide from NBC's omnipresent "Green Week," of which NB readers are sure to be hearing plenty in coming days. NBC's eco-activism even made its way into what you'd normally hope would be a refuge from MSM politics: football.
"Green Week" reared its head during NBC's broadcast of last night's NFL game between Dallas and Philadelphia, played in the City of Brotherly Love.

NBC can't leave its green paws off football. Ping to Today show list.
I saw this display last night. They looked ridiculous on the set with the lights way down and candles everywhere. I think one of the commentators, can’t remember his name, thought it was absurd by the comments and sounds he was making during their broadcast.
That was probably Cris Collinsworth.
Cups from corn or high tortilla prices in Mexico. What’s it going to be?
Yes...that’s who it was. Did you get the same impression that I had about him?
I didn’t watch the whole thing. I only remember him taking out the flashlight and holding it under his face like a campfire prop.

That was one of the stupidest things I ever saw, having Costas in a broadcast booth with candles lit. Meanwhile, it is a night game played under the lights and the game is being broadcast to be viewed on millions of electronic devices throughout the land.
It provided an opportunity to talk to my son about what idiots these enviro-whackos are ... especially when they mentioned Mr. Pomposity himself, Al Gore as a leading expert in climate change.
LMAO! Did he really say that? I must have missed it.
Play the damn game during the day.
Remember, it’s a damn game and not a political documentary.
Hardly a man is now alive.. I was but a stripling myself, but I well remember reading of a brief stunt in the late seventies when Jimmah had the eternal flame on JFK’s grave replaced with a light bulb in the name of energy savings. Then Energy Secretary Harold Brown was forced to officiate at the ludicrous farce.
I do not know when the idiotic affectation was undone, but I’m betting it was quietly under cover of night.
How wrong he is. I'll wager right now that I'll not see a second of it.
If it were a short wave broadcast utilizing a bicycle generator, it would be green, IMHGO. Otherwise is poseurs are us.
Am I reading this right? They cover a night game with the field, stadium, and parking lot lights blaring and they turn the lights off in the booth and use candles? Idiots!
It was a teachable moment for me as I explained to my ten-year-old that this was all political BS, and pointed out how the NBC posturing was completely devoid of substance, and all about fear.
The fact that Matt Lauer was freezing his butt off on an ice floe only helped me.
