    Usually it takes two trucks to tow 11,000 pounds.
    But not if you're Jim and you have the new Ford F-150.

    How's that work Jim?
    Fully boxed frame, Mike.
    *With air of pompousness and self-righteousness* Fully boxed frame.
    Or... not fully boxed... The choice is yours, but... how are you going to drive two trucks at once?

    BWAHAHAHAAHAAH

    I actually think I only hate this commercial due to its ridiculous frequency on MASN. Anyway, how many people actually care about towing 11,000 pounds?

    I actually like that commercial, but I also like Mike Rowe.

    ESPN has good NASCAR commercials though , and the Sportscenter ones are always classic. Carmelo and the headband...
    Those SportsCenter ones are great. I loved the one with Tiger and the gallery following him through the office. But my favorite has to be the one where one of the anchors asks Roger Federer where he would rank.

    Anchor: C'mon, Roger -- 1 through 10, where am I?
    Federer: I'm not sure you'd be in the Top 10.
    Anchor: I'm in the Top 10, Roger.

    my favorite is the Sharapova one when the anchor is holding a seat for someone else , and then Sharapova asks if the seat is taken. The look on Stewart Scott's face as he passes by and finds out someone else is in his seat is priceless!

    Stuart Scott's actually pretty good in all of them. The one with Andy Roddick is great, too.

    Roddick: Stuart, you didn't use my nickname on the show last night. You know I want to be called A-Rod. Did Alex Rodriguez put you up to this?

    Scott: Who?

    Roddick: A-Rod.

    Scott: (shows great evil smile)

    I hate the "you're a soccer fan, you just don't know it yet" commercials. No, I'm not, and yes I do. I'll watch the World Cup, but I don't consider myself a "fan," and definitely not of MLS.

    The Major League DirectTV commercial. Only because in the "new shot footage" they have a guy playing first base. They gave him the same "vintage" late 80s Indian uni as Sheen, but he's wearing black socks jacked up. As much as I love that look, they wore stirrups back then. What a doofy oversight.

    the guy who did the play by play annoys me when that commercial is on. If it's Bob Uecker , I apologize.

    You can add every commercial MASN repeats every 2 commercial breaks to the list. I've only had MASN for a week and they broadcast the same "Omazing Moment" commercial , the Maryland Lottery commercial with "you-know-who" , and the Verizon commercials over and over again to the point that it just becomes annoying. Please have some more variety , or have more than 3 "Omazing Moments" or else I may have to mute the entire game and miss out on Thorne's play by play!

    It is Bob Uecker. That's nothing new, that's the audio straight from the movie.

    They're a new network. Give it time, they'll get more advertisers to sell to them.

    I dunno man, WBAL used to do the same damn thing - same 6 commercials every frickin' game. Ceauch Buzz for Salveau Auteau Purts, "HOT DOGGGGG!", 'Heaudes', Ulman, Pessin and Katz, and a few others, which mercifully have not been burned into my subconscious.

    Radio has that problem period, though.

    Well this could be a thread unto itself, but how about "commercials run into the ground during past Orioles seasons by HTS/Comcast Sports/MASN that are now burned into your consciousness"? Take it away, Brooks Robinson: "A batted ball can reach third base at speeds exceeding 100 mph... a baby without a car seat can travel almost as fast." Oh, and that horrifying Adventure World commercial with Cal Ripken's "family" (Cal's face on the body of a little boy and girl... ewww).

    I know this is way late, but I once posted how I hated this commercial on another forum I once posted at, with users more spread out across the country. Apparently, this song isn't just for Shaw's. Someone wrote this piece of crap and sang it for a bunch of different jewelry stores across the country. It's pretty depressing to know that no matter where I go I might be subjected to these awful, awful commercials.

    I think I would rather work as a gravedigger than be the guy who writes the "(Insert Jewelry Store Here) Jewelers" theme song. I wonder if that guy is proud, artistically, of what he's done with his life.
