    - When after seeing the New Soccer Nation commercial for the 3rd time you still can't wait for the 4th.

    - When you get excited to see 'real' commercials during MLS Wrap.

    - When you can tell the difference between Allen Hopkins and Max Bretos when they're broadcasting the same match.

    No, though I agree with him!!! Give the caller's a minute to sounds off!!! A lousy 30 seconds flies by in no time!!


    I was the guy from San Diego under an assumed name (not sure why) who said Jeffries should sit Deering down on the bench for the rest of year.

    I'm not a Burn fan but I was pretty pissed about Deering's actions and figured, what the hey, might as well vent!

    Yeah me too - though I can't remember what he said. He got cut off, called back and resumed cursing. An MLS Wrap classic moment.

    I was gonna ask you, "Joe", if that was you based of your earlier Populi post. And hey I agree with you. Nothing pisses me off more than a guy who can't control his temper / emotions and ends up hurting the team. 32 years old, team captain, WC 98 vet, and he goes off and does this. Bench him.

    Back on Topic:

    You know you've been watching too much FSW when your then-3 year old calls the color blue: "Chelsea Blue".

    When you can still utter those Toshiba computer commercials that ran before and during the World Cup word-for-word.

    Yep. I always chuckle.

    I was just going to start a thread on all the little mistakes that are made in their commercials, not to bash them because I love FSW like the children I've yet to have, but more than anything because somebody in quality control isn't watching enough of their coverage or reading on Bigsoccer every night to know that it's not right.

    But this thread is actually hilarious and I've laughed out loud a couple of times, so I'll just add to it my thoughts on their commercials. By the way, you know you watch too much FSW when you want to start a thread about all their commercials.

    1. French league champion is Monaco - they even go on to say how much they dominated! That's crazy. How could somebody miss that one?

    2. Bundesliga stars no longer include Tony Sanneh, who plays (or doesn't play) for a team that's no longer even in the Bundesliga.

    3. Watch your American stars in the EPL! Eddie Lewis I guess could be seen in a cup match sometime, but certainly not week in and week out. McBride was only there for a few months.

    4. US stars playing in the MLS - then they show Ruiz with a big US flag behind him. The Guatemalans must get a kick out that one.

    5. Bundesliga show with Allen Hopkins filler at the end is from two seasons ago when Dortmund were champs!

    If anyone can remember a few others, throw 'em out there. Of course these are all things that only us hardcore fans would ever notice, but I assume we're most of the people watching FSW in the first place!

    Also, that new Viagra wanna-bee stuff commercial with the old guy at the end cracks me up. He mumbles something about his twenty year old girlfiend not being able to keep up with him yet looks as if he's about to have a stroke just from reading his lines. Hilarious. But hey, someone's gotta pay the bills...

    yeah you're right, I'm a big fan of that Primarily Soccer Network that Doesn't Exist Or is Seen By Practically Noone.

    When you find yourself riveted to the TV during a televised dart competition.

    -Those English announcers can make anything sound exciting.

    When you find yourself wondering if Essex can hold on and win the County Cricket Title, forgetting for a moment that you don't have the slightest idea of what cricket is.
