Okay, They Did It Again With These Jeter Tributes...

((HT: Gatorade))

Yeah, the HQ will stipulate that we are (nor will we ever be) a Yankees fan...

But with Derek Jeter's career coming to an end, the tribute videos are pretty cool.

First, it was the RE2PECT ad from Nike. Now, it's this one from the Gatorade folks...


Like we said...

Cool...

A Manning Brothers Rap Battle

((HT: DIRECTV))

Yes, we know it's a complete and total ad, but it's the Mannings and it's damn funny...


The bar keeps getting set very high... which, in a way, worries the HQ...

But we'll take the funny as much as we can...

((HT: National Congress of American Indians))

The NCAI wanted to run this ad during the Roman Numeral Classic, but they weren't allowed to...

So, they're doing the next best thing...

Running it during the NBA Finals and the HQ is quite sure that the Washington Redskins won't like it


If Daniel Snyder would only see a change to the nickname as a different revenue stream instead of a roadblock to maintaining the "history" of the franchise, things might be better off.

But the HQ also knows that stubborn people will always be stubborn people.

Blue Jays Surprise Blue Jays On Father's Day

((HT: SportChek))

The Canadian sporting goods chain was filming a segment on Father's Day and recruited the Toronto Blue Jays Steve Delabar, Brett Cecil, and Casey Janssen to talk about it.

But what SportChek didn't tell Delabar, Cecil, and Janssen is that there was going to be a surprise.


Is it dusty in here, or is it just us...???

Whaddya think..???

Can Ian Darke Call Everything from Now On...???

((HT: ESPN))

The promotion is running for the world soccer competition in Rio this summer...
Providing there will actually be stadia to play in...

As they should...


Who is writing this stuff, indeed...
