Did it bother anyone else how that GMC was prominently featured in the intro to the game last night?
Hank Jr's intro to ABC's football games has been a classic NFL staple for years. I found it hard to get pumped up for a hard-hitting, fast-paced gridiron battle when I'm being forcefed the idea of buying a truck. They even included it in the song: "a custom-made party"? WTF!?
Are we coming to an era where football teams not only name their stadiums after razors and ketchup, but put giant pencil company logos at midfield? Will they clutter uniforms to make me want a new sofa? Is money really THAT important?
What do you think? Is this blatant commercialism actually helping the game? Or is it tarnishing the image in the eyes of the American people?

I can't stand Hank Jr's are you ready for some football. What kind of question is that anyway? I'm watching football so yeah I'm ready for some football. I don't watch ABC cause they have good shows. They need to dump his dumb @$$ and get someone or something else. I thought they were streching to the corny with the GMC truck coming out of the mud after showing a running back go down in the mud. Cheesy by my standards.
