1/1: Getting A Kick Out Of This Ad

11:45 a.m.

 

• So I have the Outback Bowl on as background noise and I think I recently heard the ESPN announcer say some guy from Tennessee just ran into the end zone for the first down. Yeah, I know it's a live broadcast and you often mix up your words (that's why I don't think many politician flubs are that funny -- a person might have been campaigning for 12 straight hours and then slip up on a word or phrase), but this got a chuck out of me.

 

5 p.m.

 

• New year, new change to KK's Korner. I'm going to start putting more recent updates below the older ones. A few times I noted that I was continuing a story and spoiled a few tales by having the startling conclusions at the top of the page.

 

• Was flipping channels this afternoon and noted the following:

 

1) It’s nice to hear Pat Summerall still announcing every now and then. I think the reason for my feelings on this matter is that he’s not going to be around forever.

 

2) I saw parts of that “winter classic” where the NHL held a hockey game outdoors in Buffalo. I like the idea, and having such a game every year would help the league in terms of publicity and the like. However, who thought it’d be a good idea to have this game take place during college football’s biggest day, outside of the BcS title game?

 

10:30 p.m.

 

• I generally don't like their ads, and I've heard bad things about Allstate from some people I know. However, this ad made me laugh out loud the first time I watched it, even though I figured out what was going on early on in the ad.

 

 

• Speaking of football, this Sugar Bowl -- ugh. There better be one heck of a second-half rally or we won't have a champion in this year's REGULAR SEASON TOURNAMENT.

I agree and they probably should move it to Xmas Day. I'd much rather watch that then NBA basketball and rerun marathons.

Actually, the more I thought about it, perhaps having its first attempt on a day where it would be overshadowed wasn't a bad idea, what with the ice conditions and other "gremlins" that had to be dealt with.

Because you hold your big live events on holidays, which encourage attendance. I'm not sure Christmas would hold the same sort of significance when your Canadian fans celebrate Boxing Day instead.
