Jerry West should be embarrassed

[Mark Padgett]

I was watching TV this afternoon and a commercial came on for some medication. It featured Jerry West working with a bunch of kids playing hoops. Some of the kids were wearing "illegal" uniform numbers (such as 9 and 17, to name a few).

There was a toll-free number that appeared on the commercial so I called it and asked the girl on the other end why they were featuring kids wearing numbers on their uniforms that wouldn't be allowed on the court.

She told me she would transfer me to someone who could answer this for me, but after 10 minutes on hold, I hung up.
