Urlacher Fined $100,000

[Hostile]

I have never believed that marketing has anywhere NEAR the impact so many claim it does. I have never bought ANYTHING because I saw it advertized on TV or in a magazine. Yeah, I have read some of those studies. double talk and inferences out the yang. I would bet that some of these companies could cut their advertizements 50% and see very little change in their market share.
People are not as stupid as they think- buying a car because of a commercial? If you think more then a very tiny number do that then I have some land for sale in florida (and a bridge in Brooklyn- real cheap!)

Naivete' is always funny. Delusions are even funnier.

He received $500,000 for his efforts.......you do the math.

Can someone verify this?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Whoosh.

Fly by.

not really, Gatorade doesn't need the NFL, just like Nike doesn't need the NFL, they're still going to be successful since they are a household, brand name

Whoosh.

It has nothing to do with "need."

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I bet Gatorade employees wouldn't agree with you. To them, successful marketing by the NFL is their livelihood.

come again?

 

[Hostile]

come again?

Do you really need a class in marketing in a football thread?

My gosh.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Do you really need a class in marketing in a football thread?

My gosh.

I know what marketing is

just that crock that the people at Gatorade's livelihood is on stake because they market the NFL is ridiculous, Gatorade is apart of Pepsico, a Fortune 500 company, get real Hos

I didn't mean to talk over your head BS, I'll stick to one syllable words.

Oops, I already blew it.

Well, damn.

HA! my diction would make your bulbous head explode, it's already got too much hot air as it is, information overload is not good for you

I already knew your diction had a lot of hot air. But thanks for the confession.

what's next, you're gonna call me poopoo-head? that's about as much as I should expect from someone who can't follow a sentence structure

Only if you're a poopoo head.

You really don't want me to dissect your sentence structure and make you look foolish. Drop it.

dissect away

the part about hot-air FOLLOWED the part where you're bulbous head would explode, natural sentence structure would suggest that your head is full of hot air, it's natural sentence progression bro

and besides, diction being full of hot-air doesn't make a lick of sense

 

[Kilyin]

Don't bother, he'll just ignore all the facts and keep claiming he's right. Heck, I've seen the guy contradict himself several times in one thread, it's actually sort of amusing.

It's what he does.

 

[Hostile]

dissect away

HA! my diction would make your bulbous head explode, it's already got too much hot air as it is, information overload is not good for you

Diction is your subject. You follow it with a dependent clause that is wrongly following a comma instead of a semi colon. That dependent clause contains the word,"it's" which means "it is." Thus...

"it is already got too much hot air as it is"

Yes, your "diction" is already impressive.[/sarcasm off]

Back to the point of it being a dependent clause. Dependant upon what? The subject, which is your "diction." So, the clause is about "hot air." What has this "hot air?" The subject, which is your "diction."

You then fail to close the clause and add an independent thought or sentence. "Information overload is not good for you."

I love irony.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Gatorade has been doing well for awhile now

I'm just wondering why it took the NFL this long to fine him?

The NFL probably waited so long to fine him because they wanted to limit the publicity VitaminWater would get if this happened when people are actually paying attention to football.

 

[BouncingCheese]

The NFL (by then called NFL All The Time All Over the Universe) will fine players $100 Zillion for even thinking about a nonsanctioned product.

Players, incubated in pods and marinated in football strategy fluids, will only be able to think in NFLThought(TM). Also, Vinny Testaverde will be barred from playing further.

Well, my future-thinking helmet shorted out and I have to end this futurecast.

:laugh2: :laugh1: :laugh2: :bravo: :toast:
hahahaahhhahah you are so right....What is it with the NFL and NBA? Joey Crawford kicking Duncan out for laughing (even though I hate Duncan) because he wants to hoard all the attention, While the NFL wants to take away all individuality (no group celebrations!??!!). The NFL will always have a huge amount of fans, but the NBA is screwed because of nitpicking things like this:bang2:

"it's" is also the contraction for "it has"

"it has already got too much air as it is"

Back to the point of it being a dependent clause. Dependant upon what? The subject, which is your "diction." So, the clause is about "hot air." What has this "hot air?" The subject, which is your "diction."

I had 2 subjects actually, diction, and then your bulbous head, which my hot air comment was following

You then fail to close the clause and add an independent thought or sentence. "Information overload is not good for you."

I love irony.

it's a message board Hos
