I don't watch ESPN, so I get to miss a lot of this stuff.
But it irritates the hell out of me, and not really because the product they push is being sold with lies (or at least with massively inflated statistics), but it's the anger I feel whenever the same ad is run over and over.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
My watch nerd son created a buckle for a watch band this summer while working at a watch company.
They are using his design in their new bands.
For a kid who just started 2nd year in an Industrial Design course, this is massive.

St. Louis' defence is still a bit scary for me.
And after watching the Browns look Brown last week, I really should take the Chargers. And picking against the Jags is usually a gift, but that Colts team is just no good.
I'll wait for Saturday to make the choice.
