I love it!

But I am a bit perturbed they used--obviously--old footage of the team in those alternative blue jerseys ... just being picky.

Certainly it wasn't this year's team.

does anyone think they actually care?

If ESPN did this, they'd still be using the 1984 footage all the way through.

Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!

This is the first time...

...I'm seeing this commerical, too. I've seen the Brewers one about fifty times. (Or maybe it just seems that way.)

It's about what I expected. I agree the outdated footage of the old uniforms is tacky. And it would have been nice if they mentioned Soriano along with DLee and Ramirez.

Oh, and does anyone else think Dane Cook kinda looks like Mark DeRosa? Maybe I just have DeRosa on the brain today...

Pat and Ron radio clips of the highlights of last nights game. I love the "Yes sir!" right at the end. I missed that last inning while I was getting settled in at work, and really enjoyed hearing it.

Whoa

I'm guessing you don't like it?

Dane Cook

is an unfunny hack. Albeit nothing to the likes of one Carlos Mencia, but unfunny college boy humor nonetheless. (This coming from a college boy)

I agree (coming from a college guy as well)

He really isn't that funny, yet so many people are in love with him for some reason. And now he is coming out with these horrible movies like he can actually act...

by GoCubbies34 on Sep 19, 2007 12:37 PM CDT up reply actions

No, he's not funny

but I don't think the purpose of the ads is humor.

^ Wow

That was pretty unnecessary

GO CUBS GO! Hey Chicago whatdya say the Cubs are going to win today!

Someone said...

... your comment was unnecessary. You went off on him and called him a name.

I'll admit, I was

kind of miffed when I saw footage in there from the "foul ball incident." Other than that, it's about time they got one for the Cubs! I was really sick of seeing the Brewers one.
