Lunchtime Poll: Which Rocker Do We Thank?

4/24/07, 12:32 pm EST

Derek Jeter

According to this totally genius Gatorade commercial, it’s a hologram version of Harvey Keitel that’s magically transformed Derek Jeter from a dude who doesn’t even begin to earn his insane salary to a dude who sort of kinda comes close to almost earning something that approximates .5 percent of it. It could be that Keitel’s responsible, but we think this is the work of a rock star turned sports coach. Which rocker is whispering in Jeter’s ear? (And which one was responsible for the guy’s magnificent suckyness last year?)

Axl Rose is saying: “I won’t be told anymore……that I’ve been brought down in this storm………and left so far out from the shore…..that I can’t find my way back, my way anymore.”

The boys from Duke have been hearing the same thing.

The wording of ths question is the most fucked-up I’ve ever seen.

I have no clue what the question is asking.

Dan | 4/24/2007, 1:20 pm EST

Um…you mean Alex Rodriguez, not Derek Jeter, right?

Nikkidoo | 4/24/2007, 1:21 pm EST

Seriously. Even I know they’re two different people.

Jim | 4/24/2007, 1:35 pm EST

Jeter or A. Rod?? confused

Uriah Heep ? Stealin’ when he shoulda been buyin’ ?

sheldon | 4/24/2007, 2:33 pm EST

I’m confused, Liz. I don’t understand the question.

Go Mets!

Bon Jovi!!!

Are you serious? | 4/24/2007, 2:39 pm EST

Seriously. Your stupid cheap-shot at A-Rod back-fired, since you can’t even separate him from Derek Jeter, who is arguably one of the best players in baseball as well.

Pwned.

Are you serious? | 4/24/2007, 2:40 pm EST

Bah! So you’ve updated the clip to fix your silly mistake, but without changing any of the words. Jeter makes significantly less than A-Rod and has spent the last few years leading the league in many stats. Remind me why he’s only worth .5% of his salary.

Remove this tripe. This was a SUPER lame piece and a super lame cover-up.

Your are an idiot | 4/24/2007, 4:38 pm EST

I think whoever wrote this just proved how little they now about baseball, and therefore should refrain from writing on the subject. Derek Jeter finished 2nd in MVP voting last year and had the best year of his career. I think you are confusing him with A-Rod. Wow, really, really stupid.

cheesybean | 4/24/2007, 8:58 pm EST

u mean alex rodriguez, but it was soo iggy pop.

Waaat | 4/24/2007, 10:53 pm EST

You’re really dumb. Write about music…keep off the sports. Actually, keep off the music as well.

detroit rock city | 4/24/2007, 11:38 pm EST

Whoever wrote this is stupid and should be banned from talking about sports 4-ever.Jeter is one of the best ball players in a long time and i hate the yankees.

GO TIGERS!!!

sllim | 4/25/2007, 12:50 am EST

Jeter has proved to be a good shortstop, although A-Rod is much better and should have been playing SS instead of 3B from the beginning. Then lets count gold gloves

bhon | 4/25/2007, 6:02 am EST

A-Rod fella. Man that was dumb.

Your are an idiot | 4/25/2007, 11:56 am EST

You still have this up?! Why don’t you remove it already? You realize it’s factually incorrect right? You confused Alex Rodriguez with Derek Jeter. Can you get that through your head and remove this!

Tattoo U | 4/25/2007, 4:15 pm EST

This is by far the lamest thing I’ve ever witnessed on the Lunchtime Poll. Not the topic but everyones lame bitching. You get the point of the question so answer it. The commercial is awesome regardless of which overpaid player (they’re all overpaid, slowest stupidest thing to watch period, rather watch paint dry) so back on track and answer the question.

Harvey Keitel hums “What a long strange trip it’s been..” because he can’t believe Mr. Wolfe is in a gatorade commercial.

Hey | 4/26/2007, 11:34 am EST

Hey Tatoo U, no, we don’t get the point of the question dude, because it makes no sense at all. You literally can’t answer the question because the whole premise is based on Jeter having a sucky year last year and a great year this year. Neither is true. See, the whole question is obsolete because the writer has mixed up Alex Rodriguez with Derek Jeter. If Alex Rodriguez were featured in that commercial, then we could answer the question. People that say baseball (or any sport for that matter) sucks are always the people that were never good enough to play sports and every mention of sports brings back hideous memories of an unathletic, nerd-like failure of a childhood.

I put a harmless comparison to Abbott & Costello’s Who’s on First routine on here two days ago. Cannot help but notice it’s been removed. So sorry you felt insulted by it. Had no idea one of the most genuinely funny comedy teams ( and the only comedians to have a plaque in the HOF) were not up to your standards (as well as Jeter and A-Rods’, I guess).

Leopold | 4/26/2007, 3:05 pm EST

Hey Tatoo U, “watching paint dry”? That’s pretty original dude. You’d rather watch paint dry then watch baseball, but you’re willing to take time from your day to write about it? You=Loser.

frank | 5/1/2007, 12:45 am EST

go red sox!!!!

Lefty Drizzell | 5/8/2007, 5:36 pm EST

WHAT?

Sir Mix A Lot | 5/15/2007, 12:04 pm EST

Interesting fact: David Ortiz is Biggie Smalls half brother. True.
