Mojo44 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Baker commercials are insufferable to me. I am indifferent to most of the others with a few good ones. The real problem for me, including for the good ones, is that after seeing them two or three times they also become insufferable. I guess it’s just an occupational hazard from watching a lot of NFL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, why wouldn't the league want to give me the option to take my money directly for a Super Duper Sunday Ticket Package without commercials? Regular folks aren't paying for Sunday Ticket anyways. Maybe I'll just start listening to radio broadcasts again... Unless you are local radio broadcasts are no longer available.

I can see that point about having a child at home who shouldn't be left alone without a parent. I was primarily referring to the commercials where children were noticeably absent. IMO, the Pelotons seem too much like a status symbol, judging by the environment they're in, and a way of exercising for soft people. My mind would be changed if I see a Peloton commercial set in the 'hood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Peloton...I don't like them, but I watch the commercials closely, because I just can't understand their marketing campaign. They seem to be advertising to the vapid 20-something socially-isolated trophy wife/Instagram model/video blogger who lives in a $3.5m house who has neither the time nor money for a personal trainer? And during football games? That's a really niche marketing campaign. Gotta be at least six or eight women in that demographic across the country. Maybe next year they'll expand their marketing to include one-legged-touch-typists with-frizzy-hair-and-glaucoma hockey fans. Peloton's just ***** weird. 1 minute ago, Happy Gilmore said: My mind would be changed if I see a Peloton commercial set in the 'hood.

My mind would be changed if I see a Peloton commercial set in the 'hood. I learned about spin bikes because my ex was big into them. Peloton is considered a status symbol for non-serious spin cyclists. Serious cyclists make fun of Peloton. They’re average bikes at premium costs. My ex has a really good one about the same price. I don’t bike/cycle and live in Atlanta....but can you even ride a bike outside in the dead of winter? You need speed to get a true workout.

It depends on your tolerance to cold and the clothing you have. I can go until about 45 degrees on a road bike. On a mountain bike, a little lower. Obviously in snow and ice, not so much. It's not just speed, but more so inclines. IMO, mountain biking (even on smaller hills) is a better workout than road biking; at least I felt it more.

Yeah but a speed bike is much different that a road or mountain bike right? Like I'm talking about the ones with the skinny tires.

Like I'm talking about the ones with the skinny tires. I've taken a few spin classes through out the years and it was all about RPM's. A mountain bike isn't built for speed, but for climbing and tougher terrain, so that is a different application. I'm guessing a "speed bike" as you put it, is an outdoor road bike. For example, my Trek road bike has 700c x 23mm tires, which are pretty skinny. RPM's are good, but inclines are better. It's similar to running, hills will get you into better shape than flats. You'll get the elevated heart rate in both environments, but inclines will really build your endurance and lung capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that I do love is the AT&T one that is"just ok" with the doctor...gets a little chuckle from me everytime. "You nervous? Me too." and "I'll see ya in there!" The AT&T commercial was good the first time you heard it. Now, after they have played it for the 10th time in the same game it kind of loses some of its luster. But, better that than any of the Peyton Manning Commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at him most would think he was in damn good shape. Dude couldn't even finish the mile and a half run for the PT test. He ended up getting discharged over it because he failed the PT test too many times. Which leads me back to my point, the way a person looks has no revelance to their overall fitness. Whether it be skinny, fat, muscular, whatever. You can't see the health of a person's cardiovascular system by looking at them.
