The NFL football sports world has been waiting, hoping for good news on the NFL Lockout/Strike! LA Dodger fans are sitting by their flat screens hoping to find out what MLB and Bud Selig intends to do with their recently seized team. What are the San Diego Padres and TaylorMade Golf doing? Both of these companies have found yet another way of extraction cash from the sports consumer, sometimes know as customers.

While inking a 3 year deal, this 80 foot golf club will be displayed as part of the foul pole, billed as shock an awe by the marketing maniacs. I can tell you that this is shocking and it is awful! If the Padres could field a team that could play as well as they sell a new sponsor, a world series would be in San Diego’s near future.

TaylorMade Golf-Yet another new club and this one comes with a giant shaft! Not a surprise we are all starting to get use to it!
