Nick Kypreos Hates "Those Fuckers at TSN"

Hahakyper_medium

Ah professionalism! It looks like the stress of getting the upper hand on deadline day by talking to secretaries and neighbours is really getting to Nick Kypreos. After he tweeted that a trade to send Bryan McCabe to the New York Rangers was close Darren Dreger tweeted that his Panthers sources said that no deal was close. That apparently angered Kyper. He deleted the offending tweet pretty quickly but not quickly enough for the internet. Remember Kyper, DMs are private, public messages are for embarrassing yourself. 

Thanks to everyone that sent in a screencap but especially to @ASblendorio71 who was the quickest.

More reaction after the jump.

First, Darren Dreger gets the boot in:

@RealKyper: I’m confident it will get done. Those fuckers at tsn try to discredit me all the time. I’m really pissed! As always…thanks for yo…

I wonder what the rest of the tweet was going to say. I have a Maple Leafs keychain here I will mail to the person who best completes it (winning entry will have the most recs from PPPers).

by somny on Feb 26, 2011 12:54 PM EST reply actions  

I’m assuming he was going to continue it with a 2nd tweet. Complete it using 140 characters, beginning with “yo”.

Anyone consider this to be staged?

I always wonder about such “mistakes”, I personally feel it was a legit mess up but decided to bring up the question anyway. I doubt he’ll face any penalties from corporate. A little animosity between the two networks is probably good for both of them shrug

a) Why did he have to add “at tsn” to his reply, wouldn’t “those fuckers” have been sufficient in response to whoever wrote.
b) That Sheen comment, can Kypreos be that snappy and quick?

by plen on Feb 26, 2011 2:37 PM EST reply actions  

See if you believe b) to be accurate you have to assume the scenario is probable.

Gotta love what Burke fetched for Kabs

compared with this McCabe deal. They’re in a similar class of skill and impact, and Burkie got top value for his player while the Panthers get a 3rd and a spare part. Attaboy BB.

Kyper is a TSN-quality analyst. He should be wooed to TSN like Dreger was wooed! Get Mike Johnson OUTTA THERE.

Kypreos is the only thing decent analyst Sportsnet has. It would be pretty funny if he ends up working for TSN at some point.
