Sometimes the ad may be serious like Tim Tebow and his Super Bowl ad. Other times we can get a laugh put of it.
Lets take a look at some of the funniest sports related commercials of all time! Enjoy!Begin Slideshow
By Larry Barnes | Yankees 'n More There are reports that the Yankees, in the extended absence of Nick Johnson, will turn to Juan Miranda to be the designated hitter. Of course, they will also use the spot to get some of their veterans the proverbial "half-day off," as they are tonight with Alex Rodriguez.We like the idea of looking from within to fill the void at DH, we just think the Yankees are looking in the wrong spot. They should be looking at Jorge Posada, who is unavailable for ...

Players often fail to live up to their reputations when thrust into the bright New York spotlight.
In this case, the Yankees got exactly what they paid for when they signed designated hitter Nick Johnson.
Ken Rosenthal, FOX Sports senior baseball writer, is reporting that the fragile Johnson will undergo right wrist surgery on Tuesday and won’t return to action until July.
The news should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed Johnson throughout his injury-riddled career.
Only once in Johnson’s 10-year career has he ever accumulated 500 at-bats in a single season. ...
This tweet comes from Ken Rosenthal :
"Sources: Yankees' Nick Johnson to undergo surgery on right wrist Tuesday. Likely out until July."
Here's a little more from Ben Shpigel :
“This is not a quick fix,” Manager Joe Girardi said. “This is going to be a while.”
Johnson said he would have the surgery “probably tomorrow.” He has been told that he will need four to six weeks of rest before he can swing a bat again. Johnson elected to have surgery after an injection of anti-inflammatory medication did not help, and after he ...
What Home Field Advantage?
Al "Bud" Selig, the erstwhile Commissioner of Baseball, has seen to it that the league that wins the all-star game gets the home field advantage in the World Series.
Most "experts" and also the real experts—the fans—subscribe to the belief that the home team has an advantage. They subscribe to that belief because it is true, but as with all "truths," there are exceptions.
No Home Field Advantage Four Consecutive Times
1. The Brooklyn Dodgers won the 1955 World Series in seven games over the ...
The Yankees took two of three against the Twins over the weekend but lost the finale in stinging fashion when Mariano Rivera gave up a grand slam in the eighth inning. New York will have to bounce back from that blow quickly, though, as it welcomes the archrival Red Sox to Yankee Stadium for a quick two-game set.
The Bombers (24-13) have taken four of six from Boston (19-19) already this season with all of those games being played at Fenway Park.
The Sox—who currently sit in fourth place, seven-and-a-half games back of ...
When the Yankees decided to skip Javier Vazquez against the Red Sox two Fridays ago, I didn’t love the idea.
It seemed like an overreaction, and it also didn’t seem like the way to build a pitcher’s confidence.
Now, here we are 10 days later, and Vazquez is being skipped again. This time it’s because of last week’s rainout and consequent doubleheader against Detroit. Skipping Vazquez again will allow the Yankees to pitch everyone else on normal rest.
Now I understand the logic here; it’s easiest to move Vazquez around since he’s been ...

WP: N. Blackburn (4-1) LP: J. Chamberlain (1-2) SV: J. Rauch (10) Well, that was quite a shock, wasn't it? With the Yankees winning 3-1, this game headed to the eighth, and the usually reliable combination of Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera . Joba allowed ...
Let's face it, despite the team's recent success, the New York Yankee outfield isn't looking too promising right now.
At the start of the season, the Yankee outfield was seeing great production out of both Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher. Unfortunatley, both of these players have been cut down with injuries.
According to a recent update from NBC news, Granderson is able to jog and hit without pain, but, "still isn't running at top speed or changing directions, which will tax his injured groin more than light jogging in one direction."
Granderson is still ...
