    I mean, they're goofy, they're self-depreciating and they get the point across. They're perfect. And hey, we got to see Steve -- a diehard Steelers, Pirates and Penguins fan -- make Pittsburgh steak salads ...

    ... and rip on the Bucs at the trade deadline ...

    ... These commercials have made me tolerate Brett Favre, Rachel Nichols and Stuart Scott. That is, until SC goes live and there's no need to watch for these commercials anymore. Then I can ignore Favre, Nichols and Scott, as always.

    But will you miss the Darkmane commercials? I think not.

    I will confess this much -- I did like the Brian Deegan vase commercial. I'll shut up now.

    I'm with you Oz.

    When I first heard of the concept, I thought it would suck, suck, suck. But I was pleasantly surprised.

    There are very few commercials ESPN does about ESPN that I don't like.

    I'm a little biased, but the Steve commercials are fantastic.
