ESPN Commercials

There are few things I enjoy more than ESPN commercials; Lanie & Griffin, Lolcats, a Marlboro Red being the exceptions. If you have some time to kill just youtube the shit out of them. Here is a sampling of my all time faves.


Albert "The Machine" Pujols



Big Pappi a Yankee?


Maria Sharapova snakes in can!


Jose Reyes salsa instructor



Manny Ramirez
(This commercial never aired apparently because he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers before they were going to air it.)

Wonder Wheel



I was looking through my phone pics that I've taken over the course of my iphone ownership and came across this lovely lady. If you haven't been to Coney I strongly suggest you do. There is always talk of how it's closed down/going to be closed down/demolished but because of the New York Historical Landmark label given to the Wonder Wheel and Cyclone those rides and the rides surrounding them in their respective parks will be there regardless. Oh and there is this place Nathan's you might have heard of and every 4th of July they do the hot dog eating contest. I found this pic also, thanks iphone!



*Interesting side note; my wife Elana and I were caught in a fast moving heavy thunderstorm 40 minutes after this photo was taken. I had to drive home barefoot wearing a pair of gym shorts and shirt I just happened to leave in the car, Lanie wore a dress shirt (I had to drop it off at the dry cleaners) and my wet boxers.
