A letter to Lou Lamoriello (first in a series — and not for what you'd probably think this first time). Can we please stop the MSG commercials?

Mr. Louis A. Lamoriello
General Manager/New Jersey Devils
Prudential Center — 165 Mulberry St.
Newark, N.J., 07102

Dear Mr Lamoriello:

I know your contract with MSG is pretty lucrative — and it lasts for a long time. But please, could you ask the folks at the network to stop bombarding us with commercials for Rangers documentaries, Knicks playoff games and Boomer and Carton?

I mean, we clearly couldn’t care less about the documentaries. And Boomer is the biggest Rangers fan on the planet. Plus, all they ever talk about on that show is, well, anything BUT the Devils.

So respectfully, I ask — can you ask them to stop?

Or, do what you should have done in the first place? And that is, to sign a deal with SNY for our games? They need winter programming — and unlike on MSG, we’d be the winter centerpiece of the network — and not relegated to MSG-+2 on some nights, where HD isn’t always an option.

Thanks, Lou,

Sincerely Yours,

Kevin

Port St. Lucie, Fla.
