Has anyone noticed how stupid the truck commercials are on TV lately?<\/p>\n
Ford feels they have to sell their truck as “the Big Dog Daddy”. (Toby
\nKeith says so.) What exactly does that mean? It stops and humps every
\nBig Dog Mommy it drives by?<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Toyota has a older gentleman tossing the keys to “his son”
\nand saying, “Now, that’s a TRUCK, son.” What did the kid think it was,
\na giraffe??? (Remember Howard the Duck getting off the bus in his first movie?)<\/p>\n
And Chevy has a bunch of guys driving in a new Suburban as if going to
\na football game, with Howie Long (driving) saying, “This is going to be
\nthe biggest event of the season!” …only to discover that he’s talking
\nabout “Chevy Truck Month”. Excuse me, when was a *month* considered to
\nbe an “event”?<\/p>\n
Speaking of football, my Panthers really could have won today. Ignore
\nthe final score and the fact that they were playing the Champion
\nIndiapolis Colts. They took almost 12 minutes on the opening drive and
\ngot a touchdown. On the Colts’ first drive, the Panthers’ defense held
\nIndy to a 3-and-out. Then on Indy’s punt, the Panthers’ return man
\nfumbled, giving Indy the ball on about the Panthers’ 40. First
\nmistake. But the defense held again, Indy only got one first down and
\nthen had to settle for a field goal, Panthers leading 7-3. First
\nQuarter over. The Panthers then intercepted Manning and moved down the field, but Vinnie threw an interception just outside the end zone. Soon after,
\nTestaverde was injured and pulled from the game. Game over. But
\nwithout the fumble and interception, it COULD have been 21-0 at that
\npoint. Indy did not look invinceable, just the Panthers beat
\nthemselves.<\/p>\n
