kingwilly Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 This is a very bittersweet topic.First off, I love the NFL network. I love that they have game repeats, classics, player segments, news reports, cover the draft, analysis, etc. They freaking work it. They take each thing to the limit.I like Rich Eisen, TD, Deion and the rest of the crew. Woodson and Marshall do quite well. The list of positives is long.BUT, holychrist how many times can they re-circulate the SAME damn commercials?If I watch Cowher and his chin quiver one more time, I might put my foot through my Sony. How many times will I change Broadway Joe's words from "We did it!" to "We are wasted!" in my head, or confusingly listen to Singletary mumbling about a group of guys with the destinations of applying the kinds of pressure in a way that the world had not never seen before.....er, what? Sure, I can mute the part. Sure, I can switch the channel. What in the heck is with their ad department that they need to re-run the same things overandoverandover...Also, what is the deal with this "hoodie" commercial? I mean, who actually takes off a hoodie to put down on the bench? Or uses their hoodie to wipe off their legs or back, or wipe a white board? and, in the most preposterous scene, we see Jowey Powter, not in pads, spitting his mouthpiece onto a hoodie, while wearing a hoodie. Why would a guy have his mouthpiece in? How many of these hoodies can a team have just lying around like paper towels????On the other hand, the Fantasy commercials don't provoke the same irritation. the "ballet parking" is kind of funny (like the first 15 times), as I worked with a guy EXACTLY like poor Billy. and the part when Billy is not at the draft but getting married, his bride is too fine for his fat dumbness.I have a simple message to the NFL Network ad sales dept.: GET TO WORK! this is the most popular sport in the USA and I see like a Wendy's commercial...and then back to hoodies...thanks for letting me vent.

The PatternMaster Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 LOL!!They do show the same 4 commercials on NFLN everyday all day. You can eat like a man and still lose weight thanks to Dan Marino and his band of merry not-so-fat guys like former NFL star Scott Converys (sp?) I ordered the Perfect Pushup and I haven't used it yet, they make great paper weights!! Still one of the best stations on cable and I watched all the preseason games this weekend thanks to NFLN.

HairOnFire Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 LOL!!They do show the same 4 commercials on NFLN everyday all day. Are you sure it's four? I could only think of three. 1 - TJ Whoseyourmamma. Championship!!!!! 2 - What moves? These moves? [Keep trying.] What moves you? [Keep trying.] Bowel Movement? [Keep trying.] Run, jump, play, poop. [Keep trying.] 3 - Push me!!!!!!! Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Keep trying.] That is the most annoying commercial I've ever seen, in protest I sit on my couch for hours upon end not moving just to spite Steve Smith and little girl who does judo.

My wife says she can predict exactly when I will turn off The NFL Network ... just moments before they show Cowher's ugly quivering chin. As that part of the commercial approaches, apparently I instinctively reach for the remote and change the channels all in one quick motion. She even claims my mood changes based upon whether or not I was quick enough to have the channel change before his mug appears on the screen. I cannot deny the likely truth of it all.
