"As far as anyone knows, it's the first time we've seen that type of guerilla-style advertising campaign in an NFL end zone. And if the league has its way, it will be the last, too. The "Captain Morgan" was effectively banned this week after the league learned of a wider campaign meant to get players to repeatedly strike the pose during NFL games.

"A company can't pay a player to somehow promote it's product on the field," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Yahoo! Sports this week. "Every league has the same rule. It's come up before, companies trying to use our games and then players for ambush marketing purposes."

Celek's pose actually resulted in a 15-yard penalty for demonstration, which was incurred when teammate Jason Avant(notes) tried to help him achieve the perfect Captain Morgan form. Afterward, Celek spoke through an Eagles spokesman and denied any knowledge of a Captain Morgan campaign. But an account executive handling the promotion told Yahoo! Sports the Eagles tight end was indeed involved."

I love the Cap'n Morgan's guy!

This goes along with RCADE's Glenn Beck law suit point.

So you don't want them to advertise Cap. Morgans huh? Then why the fuck did you tell me that was what he has doing? It wasn't a Cap. Morgan ad until you told me.

I only usually buy Captain Morgan's in the winter. When you have as much sidewalk and driveway as I do, with only a snow shovel and ice chopper to clear it all, it really helps to have a bottle of C.M.'s with you. Don't know why, but it really hits the spot in that situation.

Try Sailor Jerry's LoD. I prefer it over Cap Morgan's

LoD I did an insane amount of leaf raking on monster and vodka. I couldn't sleep that night and I'm going to get diabetes, but it was kinda fun.

No Stealth Advertising allowed in the NFL.

This TOPIC is about the NFL and NOT how smashed you got on Capt Morgan!

Sj]easdadwewhs.......whu??

"I love the Cap'n Morgan's guy!"

Sounds like someone fancies a tussle with cap'n jack sparrow......

LM

I LOVED that character too!!!

But I only "tussle" with a cowboy!!

YAY Lisa made a thread that's kewl. Her first I think.

Oh wait She has done some before I just now noticed. What a dweebie I are.

But I only "tussle" with a cowboy!!

You name your sex toys?

Go figure.

The campaign was set to be unveiled next week and was fairly simple: For every time a player was caught on camera striking the "Captain Morgan" during a regular-season game, $10,000 would be donated to Gridiron Greats. For each instance in the playoffs, the donation would elevate to $25,000. And for instances in the Super Bowl, the bounty was slated to hit $100,000 per pose.

The NFL's rule against this charity/advertising campaign seems a bit petty to Spud.

But then again Spud has never figured out why they clamped down on end zone celebrations in the first place.

Spud to NFL:

It's a game, fucktards.

Supposed to be fun, ya know.

Yer stand against this form of guerrilla advertising is st00pid, hypocritical and nonsensical.

K?

Be Well.

So Jerry....I asked a question on yesterdays nooner but didn't see a reply.

In fact, you disappeared right after I asked it. In case that was just a "coincidence", I'll ask again:

For someone who supposedly first became a member in April, you sure knew things about me that you couldnt have possibly known unless you have been here about three years ago.

What was your previous handle? Or just like your fear of taking on men to insult here, only going after women....are you too cowardly to tell me??

BTW...it's kinda creepy how you keep such tabs on me.

Hmmmm....odd how every time I ask that question Jerry disappears.

Have I latched onto the secret of how to keep him outta here??

Lol

What a coward.

He took lessons from goatboy.

Sweet, always the innocent babe alex, once again fires the first salvo. But it'll be seconds before the "anyone but goatman" crowd headed by dull swarms in on me. LOL

You just can't get over that obsession with me can you, alex? Have you considered therapy?

The No Fun League Strikes again.

LoD I did an insane amount of leaf raking on monster and vodka. I couldn't sleep that night and I'm going to get diabetes, but it was kinda fun.

That is funny. And I commend you for using a rake and not one of those leaf blowers.

Whoever invented the leaf blower, that guy is first up against the wall when the revolution comes. But instead of shooting him, we're just going to return him to his jail cell where there are leaf blowers operating just outside 24x7.

Avast!!! As a Rams fan I need more Captain Morgan!

Snoofy, if it makes you feel better, I only use the leaf blower on the patio, driveway and the area right around the house. Takes 10 or 15 minutes. The rest is all rake, baby! Since buying my current house, I've lost five giant maple trees to record-breaking wind storms, record- (and limb-)breaking ice storms and disease - so it's only a two-weekend job now, instead of the previous four. Good exercise, and now manageable. But yeah, those damn things are noisy, and I hate watching people "rake" their whole yard with them.

Funny flag for Andyuhenet. Some things are worth the price, eh?

On topic... The NFL is just being petty. Cheers!

I bet Max Cleland would be good at doing the Cpt Morgan's pose. Oh wait, nevermind.

The leaf blower is good for cleaning out the garage, gutters, and lawnmower. It's damn near useless as a leaf corraling machine.
That's why I've got a leaf sweeper/lawn sweeper. The thing is fucking priceless.

Lisa,
Jerry was ItsMe, and a shit-ton of names prior to that. Did you see "NextLevel" got the boot? Now what will AmericanVersionvan do?

Who keeps tabs on whom?

"Did you see "NextLevel" got the boot?"

How/why did that happen?

Not that I'm complaining.

Rogers put him to "visitor status". The "why" is simple. It was an obvious second account.
AmericanUnity was too much of a fruitcake to come back and face more abuse (because he claimed to be a Colonel under a previous handle, and because he got caught making shit up under the AU handle), so he stupidly thought I wouldn't notice a second handle.

If it wasn't him, which would absolutely shock me, then the person that did it is able to play "desperate" so well that it tricked me.

"so he stupidly thought I wouldn't notice a second handle."

I have to admit that you seem to have a fair amount of skill identifying second accounts.

makes me think that you're a private dick in the real world.

I'm just a dick.

It's usually not that difficult to spot the second handles. People tell the same stories, gravitate to the same subjects, focus on the same people, use similar styles.

I had obviously destroyed the individual as was evident by all but 3 of his posts being focused on me. Seeing as though I had trounced AU so badly and outed him on his Colonel lie, he left here in shame. You could just see and smell the "hurt" in the nextlevelup handle, so it was fairly obvious that it was him.

Hell, you just know that sad sack is sitting there right now reading this, stewing over the fact that I got him again. I mean seriously, how many times do I have to best that chump before he quits? I'll bet he's hitting the bottle right now, and butching up to his Michael Phelps poster!

Again, if it wasn't him, kudos to the loser that tricked me.

Whoever invented the "leaf blower" named it right. Goddamn thing blows them everywhere except where you want them.

I just mulch them up with the lawnmower.

"People tell the same stories, gravitate to the same subjects, focus on the same people, use similar styles."

I've thought about creating a second account for my amusement but figured that it wouldn't last long because you'd call me out on it for just the reasons you mention.

I mean, if some other liberal here started laughing at your jokes and talking to you like a real person, you'd have to wonder, right?

I wished we had large quantities of leaves around here and I had a sleeping bag. That would rock sleeping outdoors on a bed of raked leaves. Sighhhhhhhhhh

Bugs bugs bugs in that pile of leaves.

That's what I was thinking. But larry's a bit odd, maybe he'd like that.

Interesting and useless fact: ticks will feed if it's above 35 degrees.

Nextlevelup is AU??

Are you sure?

Geesh...I'm losing my touch on figuring that stuff out.

Right now I'm trying to figure out which blast from the past this Jerry character is.

He has to have been here at least three years ago.

Meh, I like the leaf blower alright. You just have to do it on a day that isn't windy. Good for getting lawn clippings off your walk too.

I answered in #23.

And I'm guessing it was AU. I'm pretty sure, but you never know. Usually Rcade will publicly warn whomever it was and out them. I'm kind of hoping he'll confirm it this time, but you never know.

Lisa,
He used to be HillBillyDeluxe as well as ItsMe.

Ahhh.....now that makes sense to me 101.

He always did go after women under that handle!!

Thanks!!

No, I didn't see Nextlevelup got the boot.

But...he should have. All he did was go after you...even when you weren't here he was smackin' on you.

That stuff gets old.

Ok 101....it all makes perfect sense.

Wasn't he banned??

How does he keep getting back in the door???

Wow goatboy, that was....lame.

It wasn't lame Jerry, it was the truth.

Why the constant name changes Hillbilly/itsme/geraldine?

And you would think you would change your persona with each name change just a tiny bit if nothing else.

I couldn't remember the name of the poster that was so hot to trot for insulting women until 101 pointed it out to me....however, he's right.

Weren't you banned?

No.

Don't you have a husband to tend to, Double Wide?

how hard is it to avoid a poster whom you don't want to read?
