Aquafina commercial
LOVE that Aquafina commercial during the NY -Cleveland game! Pinella and the umpire. Classic! Thumbs up! Cheers! I'm saving that one! Hope they show it again through the playoffs -

That was funny. I only caught half of it so I hope they keep playing it.

That is funny!

I actually had the same thing happen to me several years ago with a coach I knew really well that had to leave early for something. It wasn't preplanned but, pretty much went along the same line.

I get about one of these a year, usually with college coaches. I have a hard time not smiling while they are "arguing" my great call.

...and, and, and when you get the ball across the goal line, BOOM, then you have what is called a "touchdown."

The only commentator more Captain Obvious than Madden is Tony Gwynn.

Love the commercial......

Here is a similar story from one of my colleagues. JC game:

A buddy of mine is BU....two schools that are hot rivals....Game is at School A, coach of School B is known to be very animated and emotional, big crowd on hand.

Late in the game, A is winning easily, B coach is getting increasingly frustrated, team A is at bat with bases loaded and a 2-2 count on the batter.

Pitch is thrown, batter checks the swing, pitch is ruled a ball. PU asks BU for help on the check swing, BU rules no swing.

Coach B requests time, comes out of dugout to talk to BU:

BU: Do you have a question, coach?

Coach: Not really...boy,my team really sucks today!

BU: OK......

Coach: I just don't know what is wrong with 'em.

BU: Ya, coach....it looks like they are struggling today.

The whole time this conversation is going on, the team A crowd is screaming at the coach to "get off the field", "sit down", "quit whining", etc.

Coach returns to dugout, game resumes. The count on the batter is now 3-2, pitch is delivered, batter smacks it over the fence for a grand slam.

Coach B steps out of the dugout and yells at the BU:

"Those four runs are on you!!!"

Yeah, Tony shot way past me on the fat meter. I look positively slim next to him.
