The Car's Jr. commercial with the hot girl was cut off and then a living spaces commercial was put on? Everyone else see that?

You're right. Should have said mid-80s? I became a fan in the early 90s.

Somewhere in an alternate world the Cardinals are winning 14-10 while driving down the field looking to extend their lead.

I think they ruled it a fumble because if it was ruled incompleted it could not be reviewed.

That last Clydesdale comercial was actually pretty good IMO.

I think they should bring back the Clydesdale donkey though.

Why is it okay for the offensive play to grab the facemask during a stiff arm?

Because they have black and gold on...

It was a point of emphasis this year that it would be called on the offense more in situations like that...as all points of emphasis though, it doesn't mean squat.

To be fair, at least one of those was the refs botching it (the roughing the passer).

The calls have been lopsided this game- can't blame the Cards completely for that

I don't really feel bad for the Cardinals. They got here, so...y'know, that's something. And hey, the Diamondbacks won a title like 2 weeks after they joined MLB. So you know, you win some, ya lose some.
