So it sounds like we want more contact, more singles, doubles, and so on, in ADDITION to the current # of homes runs - we just want more offense? More hits, action on the basepaths, etc., but also maintain the same number of home runs? In other words, we don't have to reduce one to get the other.
Firstly. A couple of these Chiefs wins have definitely felt like HOMECOOKING. Really. Please. No one wants to see the Miami Dolphins give up their corks to a team where several games had questionable reffing. On commercial. Uh, Joe. That’s quite a response to an Apple commercial. Totally unrelated, how are things with … ?” VII. Is this supposed to be the NYT Sunday crossword puzzle? Shouldn’t simplicity be a MAJOR factor?
Change the fan dynamic at games give away fans a concentrated part of stadium possibly half of behind home plate running to first base
One of best bits of baseball and American sport in general is how fans yankees Red Sox etc can sit a row apart and to and fro throughout game but make it more like soccer in Glasgow where I come from
Have fans of a team all together surrounded by stewards holding them apart create more of an aggressive intense atmosphere
Looks great on tv
Creates much better in stadium atmosphere esp in big games
42k Yankee fans but 7k travelling Red Sox fans the most fanatic ones intensely congregated with flags flares etc
Am I the only one who records many sporting events so I don’t have to subject myself to commercials? Gives me more time and I can avoid a lot of nonsense.
I’m with you on this one, Ron. The Super Bowl is the only thing that I watch live. I feel like a complete sucker if I forget to skip ahead and accidentally watch part of a commercial.
The crazy thing is how much money Allstate, Geico, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, State Farm and Progressive spend trying to sell us insurance during sports broadcasts.
Has anyone ever changed their insurance based on a commercial? Certainly, not to the tune of a billion dollars a year of advertising that the top 3 companies pay EACH. Must be a lot of people changing that I don't know about.
Just think: your premiums are paying for those ads instead of paying out to beneficiaries.
Seems like a good reason not to use an insurance company whose ads you see constantly. (Also, given who those ads speak to, I can't imagine being in a risk pool with morons makes for a reasonable premium. No one buying Geico or Progressive on the basis of those ads could possibly be an above average driver.)
Thank you Joe. That commercial has been driving me crazy. I couldn't believe writers could come up with such a bad idea but then you posited it could have been written by AI. That restores my belief about writers abilities. That is until I remembered a whole series of Mike's Hard Lemonade commercials led by the one where the shark bites off a man's arm but everything is O.K. because he has a Mike's Hard Lemonade to console himself.
I couldn'tblink to the VII form but my VII is to have a minimum fence height based on how close the fence is. So the Pesky pole area goes up to 40', short porch in left at Yankees Stadium - got to make 20' tall. 410 at the deepest part of center, it's cool to have a little pocket fence out there. This would turn so many "cheap" homers into long singles, doubles and triples, naking for a more action packed game, but absolute boms would remain the highlights they are

Linkin Park most mocked band? NIckleback says hold my beer.
Breaking down commercials is an under appreciated art form. Thanks again for the laughs Joe.

Thank you Joe for doing the good Lawd's work and roasting what may be the worst commercial I have ever seen.
sharing rack space with Otter.....excellent!

Barry Switzer said years ago - “I’d rather be undefeated and unimpressive.” Sums it up perfectly
Joe write about sports not commercials.
Thumbs down.
Hey my idea made it!
Glad we all agree it wouldn't make the game better, because I still hate the idea.
I got to play Grandpa Joe onstage a few years back, and I love him! He and Charlie also have a duet called "Everyone Loves to Burp."
Re bomb scare...when you got back in, did you move your book to the top shelve?
