Why NBC should Fire Milbury
And for that matter keep Roenick. Since the start of the Olympics, my blog has gotten more hits then ever before. Other then my complaint about Milbury commentating I haven’t done anything that should attract more attention then normal in terms of Olympic coverage. Yet my hits over 30 days have gone from my average of 99-120 to nearly 200 hits for the last month. This is all due to NBC having Milbury as an analyst for Olympic Hockey.
You see, people are searching Milbury more then they ever had before. Since I tend to tag a lot of stuff with “Milbury Sucks”, they find my blog. That’s right, since the Olympics started people searching for “Milbury Sucks” has gone through the roof. For that matter, People are actually searching Milbury like never before, just go by this Google Trends report of Mike Milbury for the last 12 months. It spikes at the start of the Olympics. Lets just say that’s not the best sign.
Going by my google analytics, here’s how people have found my site for the last thirty days.
Mike Milbury Sucks = 32
Mike Milbury = 10
Mike Milbury Comments = 2
Milbury Sucks = 2
So 44 hits, about 1/4 of all my hits are coming via Milbury. Trust me, as much as I use the tag Milbury Sucks, I averaged 2 – 4 hits a month via Milbury.
Also interesting, my main page has 77 hits. Basically when you land on /blog is what I’m talking about. My second most hits? The page for the Tag Milbury Sucks with 34. Its halfway to getting more hits then my main page.
So if somehow NBC somehow sees this, you’ve hired a moron. A pea brained idiot whose better at saying dumb stuff then actually analyzing hockey. Meanwhile I must applaud your hire of Jeremy Roenick. He’s proven to be astute, hard working and with great relevant insights to the current game. I realize some people have issues with Roenick, but you have to ignore that feeling and realize he’s good behind the mic.
In the End though, I have to thank NBC. Without your hiring of one of the biggest morons in hockey history I wouldn’t be getting nearly this level of exposure. Sure, its not much, but every little bit of traffic I get the better. At some point I’m going to write something that takes off, its just a matter of time.

Now Milbury has laughed about Campbell getting hurt. Fire him, and force the Capitals to hire him.
