We are still flying high on our GIANTS incredible win in the Super Bowl...The media has been pretty brutal on the Patriots using the word 'failures' more than once...is it fair? Maybe not, but when a team displays arrogance from the top down and has been accused of cheating to gain a competitive advantage, well that is the neighborhood you roll in...
If they had won they would have been lauded with accolades beyond belief...I found it incredulous that during the pre-game shows, the talking heads were saying Tom Brady would be the best that ever played the position if he had won...and they did it with smiles... after the game...nope, not any more...
Fandom and the public at large is fickle...and in our opinion they have a right to be...and if you are a sports star, and you accept the adulation, then you must be willing to accept the vilification when you disappoint those fans and the public...Here is the pay-off to the bet that was conceived on TurnBaby's radio show between Mr. Fab and myself...have not seen it yet, so have no idea what he has done...Well it appears that person (yeah I changed it...no sense diving to his level) has two blogs and put his video on his second one...
Was it a pay-off to our bet? Not in my opinion...
We were brought up to believe a bet is a debt of honor...the video he posted was an insulting very weak attempt at what he considers humor...if you want to see it, you go find it...I will not link to it..Those who find it funny...well that is you...
We should have known not to expect someone like that could actually accept a loss and do it with class and dignity...keep your $5...buy a personality
there were some great commercials this year and some absolutely horrible commercials and even a commercial that was not accepted by TPTB at FOX...
Of course, we are not putting up all the commercials...you can find them all at Spike: Powered by iFilm to see those we might not use here...
We will work our way up...
First ... the losers...
- All of the commercials from salesgenie.com...what a collection of crap...they had a number of them, but this was the worst:
- Now, let me ask you...TPTB declined on the Danica/godaddy.com spot, yet THIS one get through? Please, gag me...ok, this is sick..
- Did anyone actually watch this commercial all the way through? Anyone??? Bueller?
- I guess making a "jack sandwich" is an approved innuendo over at FOX
- This gets the 'What Were They Thinking" award...didn't hey realize that the cavemen have fallen hard
- ummm...OK, they had a decent one which might be below (we have not totally decided yet)...but this was just D-U-M-B...poor Shaq, he coulda been a contender....
- Audi used the infamous scene from "The Godfather" to make their point that they are taking on the 'big boys'...
- Pepsi-Max had a "Night At The Roxy" and let the music play (with a cameo by Chris Kattan)
- UnderArmor went with the theme from the infamous Apple commercial
The Future is Ours - Under Armour
- Could have posted both of the baby commercials for E*Trade, did love when the baby spit up...but "creepiness" just won us over...
- Ah...the power of nuts...
- Yes, this one could have gone into the group above as it is a take-off from the movie "Rocky", another in a long line of heart-warming, funny Budweiser commercials...
- OK, so we admit it, we do not like this guy...nope, nada...and maybe that is why we laughed hardest at this commercial than any of the others...
Pepsi Stuff: Justin Timberlake - Pepsi-Cola
OK...OK...the banned godaddy.com commercial...poking fun at all the Lindsey Lohan/Paris Hilton 'exposures' recently...is it really so bad?
And then last night as we got ready to post, we saw this on ESPN's Sportscenter...
PERFECT!!!!
