A few years ago, it was announced to much controversy that Mike Lange was no longer broadcasting televised Penguin games, his duties replaced by Paul Steigerwald. A few weeks ago, Lange was the runaway winner in a poll conducted on this site that ranked 67 of Pittsburgh's most visible sports media personalities, scoring an unbelievable 97.6% approval rating. His replacement, Steigerwald, ranked 33rd with 57.3% approval.
A reader tipped me off to a recent Post-Gazette poll that put the pair head-to-head, and the results...they weren't pretty:
After reading the results, I immediately checked out www.bringbackmike.com, which (not surprisingly) was all over it. So Pens fans, could this recent outpouring of support ever go anywhere, or are the Sid-and-Geno-fueled high ratings enough for FSN to leave things alone for the long run? I'm going to go with the latter.
