I am writing this here because I wrote Ol'Shan's marketing department a letter a few months ago about how sick and tired WE (me and my family) are of seeing and hearing the exact same commercial either on TV or on Radio day after day, year after year here in Texas. I don't know if the same commercials are played in other states where the company has other offices.
The commercials have not changed in at least the last five years using the GREAT Nolan Ryan. Everytime the commercial comes on either TV or radio, either I change channel or turn it off, unless my wife or son beat me to the remote or knobs first. My son is 14 years old and he's sick and tired of seeing or hearing the same old commercial using Nolan Ryan.
Sure Nolan Ryan was a great pitcher, but he's not MY hero. He maybe the company's hero but certainly not ours. Yes he had seven not hitters in baseball, but he's also a no hitter here!
"I'm Nolan Ryan, I've known foundations all of my life" (bull crap with crappy southern drawl too) is as far as the commercial gets on my radio. But that's when I'm slow getting to the radio knob to turn if off or change channel.
