am I the only one who’s tired of seeing both Peyton and Shaq on numerous commercials, and now new solo programs on ESPN?

How Shaq ever landed a gig as halftime commentator for NBA games is a mystery to me. Big mumbling fool who always seems to be in a foul mood. In fact, I dislike that whole halftime team so much that I mute them.

Mercifully I’m spared from seeing much of either of them since there’s basically nothing on sports channels worth watching\*, and advertising Peytomania seems to have died down.

\*less risk of being exposed to Charles Barkley and Stephen A. Smith too.

I’d rather see Peyton, the guy has more class. But even still, television or PR just wasn’t his thing. He is cerebral but has little charisma.

Shaq’s full time job should be [laughing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhqVMe_nJ5s) at Charles Barkley talking about the women of San Antonio. It is the best comedy on tv.

Hate Payton but love Shaq. I cant believe that he is married to Hoops from the original Flavor of Love.

Yeah, but compared to Aaron Rogers, he’s Robin Williams.

I’m more tired of seeing Shaq. He even has a reality show, _Shaq Life_.

I don’t see either one too often but I like both of them.  
I agree that Aaron Rodgers has the personality of a pebble. Of course, there’s a City of Chicago ordinance requiring that we despise any Packers’ quarterback.

I hardly ever see or even hear about either one of them these days.

What are these ‘commercials’ of which you speak?

Insurance commercials. I mostly use netflix and hulu and I still see them.

Shaq whores himself out to anyone who’ll give him money. Icy Hot, The General Insurance, Ring Doorbell, Papa John’s.

I find them both funny and engaging.

Same here. It would never have occurred to me that they are out there enough to get sick of.
