Here is the deal for those of you who are here to see sideline princess Melanie Collins from back in her Penn State days: the photo of tongue to rear has been removed.

Why?

Because there is heat in New York. You get our drift? Honchos don’t like this sort of thing.

Some douchey NBA (spelling?) middle management guy wastes corporate time looking at Deadspin, finds a link to us and BAM!! right there in his face is the new hire going pseudo tongue-to-ass at some State College six-kegger pregaming back in ’06.

And word goes out on the street. This shit ain’t good for business. Or their plans to make Collins into the next Erin Andrews.

But, as we’ve said, BC is a huge fan. We’ve promoted the Melanie Collins brand since 2008 when not a single blogger even knew who she was.

Now, she’s interviewing NBA superstars.

BC was asked nicely through the grapevine to take down the image. We have. But it’s viral, baby. Ain’t no turning back now.

Here is the thing people need to remember: we all went to school (college for some), did outrageously stupid things (like taking a leak in a closet on some guy’s clothes), got drunk and somehow survived.

Time to loosen up, boys. Sports are entertainment.
