Rich Eisen is hosting his own television/radio one-man show on Fox Sports Radio and DirecTV. With Eisen’s NFL Network and Thursday Night Football duties, that means he has to go on the road. On Wednesday, Eisen tweeted that someone in Miami had stolen his mobile production unit.
Breaking News: the satellite truck we had booked to do our show from Miami tomorrow has been stolen. This is not a drill.

To repeat. It was @richeisenshow mobile production unit, but not satellite truck heisted. This is still not a drill.

This is apparently not a joke. The one question (of many) is this – who in the world would want to steal a “mobile production unit” and what would he or she do with it?
UPDATE: The good news is this story has something of a happy ending. Eisen’s truck was found.
Just been told our beloved stolen mobile production unit — the Pacific — has been recovered. Intact. Uplifting ending. Details to come.
