The scene, the PBA Geico Open, West Babylon, NY:
Randy Pedersen: "Tommy Delutz, Jr. needs a strike on this ball to defeat Jeff Lizzi, move on to the semi-finals, and keep his Tournament of Champions hopes alive.
He starts his approach, he sends the ball right, looks good... uh, oh, hit a slick spot at the breakpoint and didn't make it back, he leaves the 2-4-5!
Jeff Lizzi is your winner!"
TD finishes the frame, looks very dejected. Randy calls him over to the sidelines.
Randy: "Tommy, you only needed the first strike to advance, but ya choked, so no Tournament of Champions this year for you. But I do have some good news."
TD: "What's that, Randy?"
Randy: "I just saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Geico."
I think the sponsors would have loved that spot, maybe even made it part of their national advertising campaign.
Whaddya think?
