Video: NBC’s green idiocy on Sunday Night Football

As a pointless, self-serving enviro gimmick, NBC doused the studio lights during last night’s Cowboys/Eagles rout. Broadcasting in the dark did serve at least one useful purpose — we literally saw less of Keith Olbermann. But other than that, it was idiotic.
At halftime, Bob Costas tossed to Matt Lauer, who was standing in a bleak vista in front of what appeared to be a pack of sled dogs somewhere in the Arctic Circle. The crew bathed Lauer’s set with what looks like several hundred square yards of dazzling light. Judging by the scale of the Huskies compared to Lauer, the light zone must go 50 or 60 yards straight back and probably at least a similar distance across. So that lit space alone probably offset the studio lights that some pinhead decided to turn off in the studio as a show of green power, dude. Then there were the heaters to warm up the on-camera divas, the power to run the cameras and comm gear, and floating soot in the air by burning the candles.
Then there’s all the jet fuel that got burned up flying NBC’s vapid anchors, Lauer, Al Roker and Ann Curry plus crews and gear to remote locations. Yeah, turning those studio lights off really saved one heck of a lot of energy, NBC.
Oh, and pay no attention to the gigantic video screen right over Bob Costas’ shoulder. Or the other video screens all over the set.
On the other hand, Ann Curry has never looked less frigid.
NBC is promising threatening 150 hours of green programming, Al Gore is going to be on 30 Rock, it’s going to be a green week at NBC.
So I’ll be watching anything but NBC. Propaganda is for losers.
Update: A Green is Universal Truther movement? It is odd that you can’t see Lauer’s breath in any of the clips. I just went back and watched the full resolution clip that I still have on my hard drive. No visible breath. Lauer claims that he’s out in 0 degree weather. Now, I happen to have some personal experience with shooting video in the Arctic. I shot video outdoors on Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska in subzero temps several years ago. Foggy breath everywhere. Also, the shortness of breath that the cold causes makes everyone sound breathless. Lauer sounds downright cozy.
I don’t think that NBC has Lauer on some secret moonscape set in Hollywood, but it is odd.

Dumb, just plain dumb!
I will save energy by not turning on NBC.
PaKeystoner on November 5, 2007 at 7:39 AM
Wouldn’t it be more “green” if NBC urged viewers to turn off their televisions?
Yeah, they should advise viewers to get news, weather and sports scores from hand-crank radios instead of watching their insipid antics on TV.
To be truly green, they should just shut down operations entirely. I think morse-code telegrams must have a smaller carbon footprint than network broadcast transmissions.
kooly on November 5, 2007 at 7:40 AM
to late nbc, foxnews had someone in the arctic a couple weeks ago.
trailortrash on November 5, 2007 at 7:40 AM
The flights , equipment, personel and everything going into the green programming offsets the math formula they used 10 fold. NBC = Nothing But
ClonesClowns.ajmontana on November 5, 2007 at 7:44 AM
Missed it, refuse to watch anything with Kieth Obermann, I switch over to the NFL channel before Sunday night games.
I can’t wait until we look back on all this 10 years from now and laugh at all these enviro chicken littles.
Kahuna on November 5, 2007 at 7:47 AM
It was bad enough to have to listen to Olbermann on Sunday Night Football, but this is completely out of hand. I’m glad I wasn’t watching – and I won’t be from here on out.
If I want to get angry at the TV, I’ll turn on a CNN Special Presentation. When I watch football, I want it without hypocritical moonbat preaching, thanks.
forest on November 5, 2007 at 7:47 AM
Heh…I’ll bet those candles on the set produced more carbon emissions than their lights.
flipflop on November 5, 2007 at 7:52 AM
As has happened in the general media, those bringing the information have reached parity with the event itself. This gives them a better chance to manipulate the information.
Reader-Response criticism comes to televised football.
Hening on November 5, 2007 at 7:55 AM
Now if only someone in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt had walked by Lauer–that would have been too good!
TwinkietheKid on November 5, 2007 at 7:57 AM
The classic feel-good style over substance. Hilarious!
rockbend on November 5, 2007 at 7:57 AM
Wonder how much they’d save if they turned all the lights off.
drjohn on November 5, 2007 at 7:59 AM
The Cowboys are my team but I refused to watch them on that sick-ass NBC.
rplat on November 5, 2007 at 8:02 AM
They could save energy by canceling the rest of Notre Dames season.
EnochCain on November 5, 2007 at 8:04 AM
Did the illustrious Ms. Curry happen to mention that the Antarctic Ice shelf’s ice and snow is at record levels…growing and not decreasing. Is global warming really global at all? (Maybe my Eagles can hide out down there!!)
deedledee on November 5, 2007 at 8:10 AM
It would be great if someone put “Hypocrite” under Lauers name.

With the writers strike on, who’s gonna write their fiction for the 150 hours of global warming lies?
I recently discovered some interesting research into the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. They don’t know yet what is driving it, but it seems to run in 20-30 year cycles. When it’s in a warm phase (currently) Alaska temps are well above normal. When it flips, which it seems to do rather suddenly, temps are suddenly well below normal. It seems to affect the jet stream over North America as well. Warm phases have a more northerly jet and cold phases more to the south. Here’s a link.
This was discovered in 1996! There is still a lot about climate we don’t know. Tell NBC Sports to turn on the studio lights and concentrate on football!
Ordinary1 on November 5, 2007 at 8:31 AM
Heh.
If Ann Curry and Keith Oldendouche were a couple, what would they be? Gay, Les, or Bi?
Jaibones on November 5, 2007 at 8:31 AM
If the talking heads could ever stop laughing then people might take them more seriously. Their attitudes show just how serious they really are. Come on guys, you can do better than that. Preach it!

The best thing NBC-Nothing But Clinton-can do to show us how green they they are, is to go off air and calculate the amount of methane and other greenhouse gases their show emits to tell us we are to blame for their problems.
MSGTAS on November 5, 2007 at 8:47 AM
Not Bob Costas too!
hillbillyjim on November 5, 2007 at 8:48 AM
Last night on NBC nightly News, Ms. Curry was on the telephone from Antarctica, getting hysterical about the fact that (deep breath) “The Antarctic Ice Sheet is shrinking at this very moment! At all the edges!”
Ahem. Ms. Curry, you do know that due to the Earth’s axial tilt of 22.5 degrees off vertical relative to the orbital plane, the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are the exact opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere?
And that, just as we are going into winter here, down where you are, it’s approaching high summer? In which the South Polar regions will get an almost continuous six months of sunlight?
Which melts sea ice, dear.
Obviously, a basic knowledge of meteorology and/or earth science is not required to work on-air for NBC. Even as a “science” reporter.
cheers

So, they turn off their lights. Exactly how much energy does the massive screen behind them, the cameras rolling, the sound system, the control room, and all other technical aspects use? I’m betting less than the lights.
And exactly how did Lauer get to the Arctic Circle? Wait, don’t tell me…
amerpundit on November 5, 2007 at 8:50 AM
The missing Antarctic ice comes out of the dispenser on my fridge.
Limerick on November 5, 2007 at 8:53 AM
Why not just flip the switch and shut down the entire network. Would you miss it? Anyone?
That’s GREEN for ya.
Malpaso on November 5, 2007 at 8:55 AM
It always makes me laugh to hear leftists argue that right-wing wackjobs are using terror tactics to frighten people into giving the government more power, and in the same breath scream that global warming will kill us all unless the government puts a stop to it.
Milano on November 5, 2007 at 9:05 AM
Foolish propagandist don’t even realize they are tools for the worlds Uber-fool algore.
TheSitRep on November 5, 2007 at 9:13 AM
I agree Milano, and to make matters worse, leftist totalitarians don’t just want to give more power to our government, but they usually want to defer to international organizations whose members largely hate us.
forest on November 5, 2007 at 9:16 AM
I knew there’d be a post about this! Ha. Yeah, this little stunt was stupid and annoying. I’m sure NBC will be hearing from a few football fans about this.
You got that right. Did ya notice the scroll behind Costas that repeated “Green is Universal” during the whole segment? Propaganda is the word that came to my mind too.
CP on November 5, 2007 at 9:18 AM
Nice!
CP on November 5, 2007 at 9:18 AM
Please tell me that NBC did not “kick off” this event with a Football game.
Of all the things that are complete waste of resources, competitive sports have to be in the top 5. Not that I would alter that. I love sports 1000 times more than NBC propaganda.
gabriel sutherland on November 5, 2007 at 9:20 AM
WTF! This is the old do as I say not as I do ploy. I guess with all around ratings for the networks down due to cable and satelite TV the void is being filled by the extremists. Kinda like what happened in the inner cities years ago when most people moved to the suburbs. Welcome to the ghetto network. This drivel is filled with so many contradictions it’s like a Catholic priest conducting family counciling classes for newlyweds. It these people think that even one beer guzzling,toilet flushing,wide screen watching NFL fan gives a flip about any of this BS their crazy. Costas is in the tank on this and Oberdouche will do anything for sensationalism to squeeze out a .00001 precentage point boost in the ratings.
sonnyspats1 on November 5, 2007 at 9:21 AM
I thought it was possibly the dumbest stunt “TV News” has pulled – since the Today reporter rowed her boat in 9 inches of water.
Question: On a “green night” why did they light up the baseball stadium that no one was using? So it sould be seen for the blimp-cam?
And Olby is unwatchable so I use that time to watch the Fox Pregame show on my Tivo to see what they got wrong.
woodman on November 5, 2007 at 9:21 AM
Sounds like some sick attempt at a mind-control experiment. I missed it, thankfully. I was playing UNO with my daughter and watching the game. (Hubby was cooking dinner — yay!) I looked up, saw Olby, changed the channel. Do they realize how many viewers they lose because of that idiot?
lan astaslem on November 5, 2007 at 9:22 AM
Green is the new Red.
Global Warming is a SCAM.
Carbon Dioxide is not a POLLUTANT.
Al Gore is not a prophet. He is in fact a con-man of the highest order.
People who meld science to their way of thinking and develop policy over this flawed thinking are no different than the eugenicists of the 1920s.
James on November 5, 2007 at 9:29 AM
I hope they figure it out soon. I get tired of turning the channel whenever he comes on. Although, if they stick with this green theme, I may skip pre-game and halftime altogether and not just when Olberman is on. I’m not giving up on the actual game though! Still, it would be nice if they just stuck with football. I like Costas and Collingsworth.
Ordinary1 on November 5, 2007 at 9:30 AM
NBC’s Sunday night prefootball game show is so boring that maybe it needed some sprucing up. The anchor of the program is Bob Costas, one of these sports knowitall guys who never shuts up and has thousands of cliches for every minute. He keeps telling football fans useless information such as what television sitcoms the players like. His sidekick, Keith Olbermann, washed out at ESPN and has wandered around ever since. The supposed football analyst, Chris Collinsworth, played 25 years ago for the Bengals and nver tires of talking about himself. To make sure we know he is PC, once in a while, he will call Rush Limbaugh a racist. The conversation on the show is absolutely forced, there is not a spontaneous moment in it, and audiences have bolted NBC’s pregame show in droves. And wasn’t it Brian Williams who wrote on his blog that Ahmedinejad was in some ways comparable to George Washington?
Larraby on November 5, 2007 at 9:31 AM
These people should do their best to cut down on their personal CO2 emissions by holding their breath for about 10minutes. Idiots, the whole lot.
They are brainwashing the children as well, using images of dying polar bears. Have they no shame!!? No honor?

fogw on November 5, 2007 at 9:41 AM
This B.S. torques me off big time.
One of the big tag lines of An Inconvenient T**th was, “Are you ready to change the way you live?”
The answer is no. Nobody’s ready.
Turning out the lights for 5 minutes isn’t changing the way you live, nor is simulcasting a bunch of rock concerts. Cancel the games — this is a crisis, right? — and quit flying teams around the country. Stop flying around to pick up awards. Shut down the broadcast networks. Stop printing newspapers and magazines (gotta love that Time has put out an extra 200-page special edition on global warming).
I change the way I live because I can’t afford to live the way you live.
saint kansas on November 5, 2007 at 9:44 AM
So… Hypothetically, let’s say they are right, and we stop “global warming” even though it is occurring on other celestial bodies in our solar system. We reverse global warming and on comes an ICE AGE.
Boy, it’ll be real nice knowing that OHIO will be covered by an ice-sheet 1 mile thick.
Thanks GREENS.
It’s all a political scam to get us into a system by which we are taxed by our energy usage and consumption. Of course nations deemed as “emergent” will get a pass and nations deemed as “rich” will get hit by the brunt of this scam.
Wow. Sounds like a global scam to tax wealthy nations.
I’m all for clean air, clean water, safe food, etc. GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT THIS.
Global Warming is a SCAM.
James on November 5, 2007 at 9:49 AM
Well you know what the “greenies” say about this: That it’s not about the actual energy being saved, it’s about promoting awareness .
*big sigh*
JetBoy on November 5, 2007 at 9:51 AM
I can’t believe I’m going to be the only one who agreed with NBC on this one. Being an Eagles fan, as soon as they ask me to turn off one appliance or light to help fight GW, well, I turned off the game(TV), and you know, I not only saved the planet, I also got a good night sleep…..
soulsirkus on November 5, 2007 at 9:56 AM
This is ridiculous. The “Today” show had a feature this morning with Matt Lauer, reporting from the North Pole, no less, and spouting off the usual doom and gloom untruths about “climate change.”
What’s that saying about the truth being nothing more than an oft-repeated lie? Seems appropriate here.
Corky on November 5, 2007 at 9:56 AM
At least we will have all this footage to show our grand children how wrong the conventional wisdom can be.
Kahuna on November 5, 2007 at 10:08 AM
You know guys like Chris Collinsworth and Bob Costas have to be thinking “my God, can’t escape one afternoon without the media bosses shoving global warming down our throats!”.
You hear by their giggling their hearts were really in this. Matt Lauer seemed a little peeved at the laughter. “Matt, their not laughing with you, they are laughing at you!” For looking like some dope that has nothing better to do with his Sunday afternoon than spending his time in the arctic circle hanging out with penguins to senselessly prove your lame, pointless argument.

I loved Cris Collinsworth’s crack about plenty of dim bulbs on the set already when they turned down the lights.
They already have The Olbertard. If there’s a dummer bulb than him, it’s hard to find.
pdigaudio on November 5, 2007 at 10:47 AM
Cris Collinsworth and Olberman. Now there is a pair of sore hands.
Wade on November 5, 2007 at 10:59 AM
Lauer says, “we will interview the best minds on the subject like former vice president Algore.” Yeah, whatever. Then they end the interview with, “it’s about zero degrees.” Sounds like dangerous ice melt to me!
Ice caps melting on Mars. Can we send Olberman?!
Ordinary1 on November 5, 2007 at 11:00 AM
I’m going to show my solidarity to NBC and their green week by starting a big, week long bonfire burning in my yard. When I run out of leaves, I can put some tires on it. They burn slow and steady.
And, since it’s better to light one candle than to curse those carbon wasting fools, I’m going to keep all my lights on all week. I found out about this too late to put up a big sign that flashes “WE SUPPORT GREEN WEEK!”
NoSquids on November 5, 2007 at 11:03 AM
This “Green” propaganda is so far beyond stupid.
GE, the parent company of NBC, is engaged in PR campaign to head off any future attacks by politicians and special interest groups on them for not adopting the “Green” lifestyle.
This has all become a new marketing ploy…
eanax on November 5, 2007 at 11:04 AM
This is by far the most lame stupid-ass stunt that I have ever seen a network pull. I’m sick and tired of this Sh!t being crammed down my throat. Thank God there is now a writer’s strike, because the one’s that wrote this crap will never be allowed back in the writer’s room.
STUPID!!!
Winebabe on November 5, 2007 at 11:05 AM
Oh yeah, I believe it’s also Novemeber “Sweeps” where TV stations/networks do extra-ordinary things to get noticed and hopefully attract more viewers — thus allowing them to set (hopefully) higher advertising rates.

MNDavenotPC on November 5, 2007 at 11:09 AM
I’m not sure I believe Lauer is really there. Isn’t it quite possible he’s using a Hollywood set or that they just built that set with snow from a snow maker at a ski resort somewhere?
Could you really put it past them?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q64qvkVtXd0
Okay, I’m joking….for the most part. Honestly though, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn about a scandal of that being an entirely staged event (aside from the obviously staged parts I mean).
RightWinged on November 5, 2007 at 11:15 AM

Winebabe on November 5, 2007 at 11:25 AM
Heh! Green is the new red! I love it!
I really wish someone could go to the other pole and do a show, spoof, docu-drama, whatever, and show how it’s growing at an alarming rate!!
Now that would be worth watching.
4shoes on November 5, 2007 at 11:28 AM
Beyond that, I didn’t realize that even the most irresponsible of global warmists would deny that Antarctica’s ice is growing.. Sure, as you said, some may melt away as their “summer” rolls in, but the fact is the ice is growing down there… Did they really let her report that it’s shrinking?
RightWinged on November 5, 2007 at 11:34 AM
The only way I will believe this dog squeeze is when I see palm trees and hula babes dancing in the Artic.
Then the reporter goes on to say “It’s zero degrees out here”. Thats global warming?
sonnyspats1 on November 5, 2007 at 11:36 AM
This is what we have to look forward to when shrilliry gets the nod Sad state of tv land watching two seconds of this bs. They need a life and fast if they think people are that freeking lame to not see through the hipocracy….tools
bones47 on November 5, 2007 at 11:37 AM
EXACTLY!!
If NBC is so concerned and so committed to liberal pseudo-science and the New Paganism, then lets see them make a commitment to 100% self-power the network off their own windmills: No wind, no NBC.
It waxes poetic, doesn’t it?

striper1 on November 5, 2007 at 11:43 AM
Guys, why bother watching the crap NBC puts out before and during halftime of SNF, Sunday Night Football. Watch NFL Network Gameday. It’s on at the same time and is much more enjoyable and informative. You can catch up on the other games and Rich, Coach Marriucci and Primetime are very entertaining. It’s easy to flip channels and much easier on the stomach!
countywolf on November 5, 2007 at 11:44 AM
How much energy did Madden’s bus use? If Al Gore is a genius as I think Lauer said, maybe that makes Hillary the smartest woman somewhere? LOL
StuLongIsland on November 5, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Hmm, I’m wondering when NBC is going to have 150 hours devoted to terrorism awareness and prevention (that doesn’t include a bunch of skeptics). Or, when is NBC going to show the other side of the “green” story?
Also, maybe someone here can answer how much carbon is emitted by using electricity?

Woops, got my poles mixed. Does that mean I’m bi-polar?

It is normally much colder on Matt’s home planet.
Buford on November 5, 2007 at 12:18 PM
Matt Lauer has not looked this silly since he attempted to debate Tom Cruise about medication for depression. Recall that in that now infamous interview, Lauer was reduced to begging Mr. Cruise not to pick on him. Although it was obvious that Tom Cruise didn’t have the slightest idea what he (Cruise) was talking about, Mr. Lauer kept saying: “I know if you’ve done your homework, Tom”. This was right after Mr. Cruise stated with absolute certainty that exericse and vitamins can cure anybody’s depression.
Larraby on November 5, 2007 at 12:20 PM
If I had to guess, I’d say that the reason Matt’s standing next to the little igloo-thing is because there’s a heater in there that’s blowing warm air on him–kinda like they use stadium heaters to warm the players on the sidelines at winter football games. He spends the entire segment with his left foot back and his entire body canted slightly to his left, which is the kind of thing you’d do if you were cold and warmth was coming from that direction. The screen said it was -12, no way are they going to let a useless girly-man like Lauer suffer.
ReubenJCogburn on November 5, 2007 at 12:29 PM
These people have got to be the biggest morons in the world! I just cannot believe this! Is there no limit to their insanity!? Well, if global warming is now the greatest crisis facing the earth in all of history, as Al Gore claims,, then these networks are not doing enough. I think, for the sake of our very survival, they need to just cancel themselves out completely. Shut down all the cameras, all the big screens, no more coverage of anything anymore. Turn off all the lights for ever. Go get jobs somewhere else.We can all just rely on radio for our coverage of the news and sports. I am sure radios carbon footprint is much less than what these networks make.
JellyToast on November 5, 2007 at 12:37 PM
They didn’t turn off the lights, they turned them down. You can’t light a studio with candles. Glad I missed that crap. No seriously, we’re talking about lights that are equivalent to thousands of candles.
The wattage required to actually, you know, broadcast in the first place is utterly insane. You have to downlink to all the affiliates who then rebroadcast the image all over the place through the air.
This is just stupid. It’s one studio from one place, and they aren’t even using the bulk of the energy required to send the signal country wide. Studio lights are least of it.
Krydor on November 5, 2007 at 12:47 PM
We had snow on Mauna Kea last night.
Matt is Lame-ur
Kini on November 5, 2007 at 12:51 PM
The only thing that could have made NBC’s pandering stunt better was if, as the lights went out, Costas yelled, “take that terrorists! take that Chavez!” sHrillary would have been proud.
Mallard T. Drake on November 5, 2007 at 12:53 PM
Those candles set a mood…of sissiness.
Black Adam on November 5, 2007 at 1:02 PM
What do you expect from NBC. Phony pandering to Al Gore is a staple to those people. That is why nobody watches them unless they are trapped like in a football game.
I thought it was very very stupid.
saiga on November 5, 2007 at 1:27 PM
I think we have a “Capricorn One” moment here, you’re on to something. With the bright lights, and black background around his head, there is no way that his breath would not be visible, unless the wind was blowing 40 MPH. Which it wasn’t. And an igloo? With a light in it? You gotta be kidding. It looked like a setting in a department store window.
Call me a troofer, but it looked fake to me. And it’s been done before. Loose the hounds!
iurockhead on November 5, 2007 at 1:29 PM
HAHA that had to be the most stupid segment ive seen on tv. the hypocrisy and idiocy were overwhelming. how about going off the air for a week, that would truly have an impact!
oh and i remember last week when i used to watch “30 rock”, it was a good show. great job nbc, alienating half the audience so u can put al gore on tv…youre making me rethink what i thought i knew about economics.
bagadeez04 on November 5, 2007 at 1:33 PM
When they said for everyone to turn off one light in their house that would normally be on, I turned off the TV and NBC

iurockhead,
Get my padded cell ready because I thought it looked like a stage too. In the video Bob Costas even makes a sarcastic comment relating to that, which I found odd.
Mike Honcho on November 5, 2007 at 2:01 PM
NBC turns off dollar a day studio lights and leaves on hundreds of dollars per hour of broadcasting electronics.
If NBC really wanted to green up the planet they should turn the studio lights back on and turn the all the other equipment off.
I turn off their stupid liberal drivel all the time anyway, they’d just be saving me the trouble.
