Coach: Ok people, the odds are stacked against us..... When you go back out there, you put on your game face. And you make them believe how great this is.

Jay Carney (Obama's press secretary): Someone took my game face. I cant't find my game face.

You've given your post less than two days to get a reaction.

You clearly expect GA votes from those who remember the commercial.

Or at least a comment.

Maybe you just have to give it more time...

P.S. I remember the commercial.

Thanks Rufus. I live in a fast turnaround world so its easy for me to expect too much.

I guess the commercial shows my age a little too.

everyone who posts hopes for GA's and I am not so proud as to EXPECT them.

If the caption gave someone a smile then that's good enough for me !

regards, LITT.
