It's Football Season, You Know What That Means...

...bring on the impotence drug commercials! That's right, it's time for the new season of those delightful erectile dysfunction commercials. I know that nothing says "Sunday afternoon" to me like a couple dozen commercials about how a new pill can keep you ready for when the moment is right! Of course, the right moment might cause headaches, nausea, or explosive diarrhea, but that's a small detail!

I expect a big season out of the impotence drugs this year. I mean, it's been a while since Viagra was released, so maybe they are starting to lose a little bit of steam now. But I think this could be a big year for the dong drugs - hopefully they can get back to form, because who can forget that particularly romantic commercials featuring the guy in his back yard continuously firing a football through the tire swing. And who can forgot that charming couple sitting in their bathtubs along the sea? I mean, who doesn't take baths outside by the sea all the time? I know I do.

I think that what this really speaks to is the link between the growth of popularity of Fantasy Football and the apparently epidemic level of erectile dysfunction in this country. It seems like the only commercials on during football games now are for Fantasy Football and for ED drugs. Is this a coincidence? I think surely not. Based on the number of ED commercials I see during your average football game, I am estimating that roughly 80% of men in the US suffer from ED. Which means I feel sorry for my 4 closest friends. But don't worry guys, you'll be rifling that football through the tire again soon, you just have to consult your doctor and be healthy enough for sexual activity!

I thought that cycling was more about impotence than football.
