it fun, but could have been so much better

picture two SportsCenter anchors, eating luch at the pond outside ESPN headquarters. They bring some bread to feed the ducks. They turn around to get more, and Puddles has jacked their sandwiches. Puddles just stares at them then walks away munching.

That would have been funny. My thought:

John Anderson and Neil Everett eating sandwiches by the lake, idly chatting.
Cut to a shot of the two of them with the lake behind, the Duck rows a rowboat across the lake.

It's spelled "T-A-K-O-T-U-E-S-D-A-Y-S-!-!-!."

Haha.

Yeah, it was definitely subtle humor.

47-20, 42-3, 65-38...So many scores to choose from!

I still think they,

Should have done an homage to the Cougar/Duck classic fight from 2007. Perhaps have them approach, and then an awkward pause looking at each other. Then the Cougar turns and runs like the wind…

Anyone else notice a framed picture of a beaver on his desk?

Juju, you complete me...And now as your humble-as-ever servant, I kindly request the following:

So, how is it that one brother is named "James", and the next one "Jacquizz"?
Anyways, based on the picture; they look as if they have a relationship thats a little too comfortable.

Classic fight indeed

I wanted to see it in the commercial so bad. Maybe they both go for the last coffee mug in the break room, stare at each other for a moment, and the Cougar backs down and slinks away. You have to make it subtle, so Beavers don’t get it.

Wait.

Or how about puddles wearing only the black helmet, is just giving it to to a crying beaver from behind on a bed or roses when… wait, ESPN? Oh, nevermind.

Did Puddles bring out the Gimp, or is the Gimp sleeping?

Just be careful not to include the duck if you try to recreate this commercial

I understand this is a good way to get you blacklisted by the Athletic Department.

Except that Disney-ABC-ESPN is the same overlord.

Wait a tick...

ABC/ESPN is actually TwistandHook (or however the hell his name is spelled)?

TwistNHook has no time for fully spelled conjunctions!

It's spelled "T-a-k-i-D-O-N-A-L-D-3-0-0-0"
