Yes, definitely remove the NBC logo.
I disagree. We are taking a shot at NBC's head man. They could care less about a logo.
Looking back at the history of quality signs present at ESPN Gameday telecasts...pretty sure they aren't going to start burning books over the NBC logo. It's ESPN, while we all think they would prevent UNC signs that are in a negative light, they are actually bigger than this and could probably care less. Plus, they always have the stupid college kids argument.

"Earlier this month, Williams said on NBC that the helicopter he was flying in was "was forced down after being hit by an RPG." Crew members who were on the helicopter that was actually hit by a rocket-propelled grenade then came forward to say Williams was on another helicopter that arrived at the site later."
Please explain again how the sign doesn't make sense.
Brain Williams Lying Scandal: Helicopter was hit by RPG, Williams said he was on it. The truth comes out that he wasn't on it.
Brian Williams Sign: SMU swept Uconn, the sign implies that Williams is saying he was at the game, he wasn't.

FYI - the President of ESPN, John Skipper, graduated from UNC. And I hear he is VERY passionate about his alma mater. There's a reason you'll find almost no mention of the UNC scandal on ESPN.

Because he was there... He was also in NO during Katrina when he said there were bodies floating in the French quarter. He was there but there was no flooding in the quarter. The story isn't that he lied, it's that he exaggerated to a ludicrous point. And BI is as reliable of a source as bleacher report, fyi.

I think the sign makes sense and I can't imagine that I am the only one, since it was Docabel's sign idea anyways. If you have a better way of wording it, please give it a try. Is the New York Times an okay source?

The issue was that he said the bird he was in was hit. It wasn't. The issue was that he said he saw bodies floating through the French quarter during Katrina. There weren't any.
The Brian Williams issue is that he took events that happened elsewhere and created a narrative out of fictional accounts involving him. I love the sign and that you already made it...understand that sucks to make another, but it doesn't follow. Why? Because Brian Williams WAS in Iraq on a helicopter, and WAS in NO during Katrina...he just lied about what happened when he was there.
The idea is that what he claimed was impossible. He couldn't have witnessed the Gettysburg Address with Pres. Lincoln, or been on the lunar landing, because that is impossible. Theoretically, he could have witnessed both SMU wins over UCONN last season. Are we splitting hairs? Absolutely. So what.

It was Docabel's idea...but you fuckedd up the wording! You had 1 thing to do! His wording was "In 2014, when UCONN beat SMU...???" You can't try to use the fact that someone else came up with an idea as your reason for it being right...then screw-up what the person said!
