I generally watch sports on TV with the sound off.

I have been doing this for years, maybe decades. Being from Denver, I used to watch the Broncos with the sound turned off and KOA radio 850 broadcast turned on, and just turned down during the commercials. Apparently more people than just I were doing this; a few years ago they offset the broadcasts so the radio was reporting several seconds before the video; kinda ruined the experience, so I just turned the radio off and watched the game muted. It really goes to the effectiveness of television commercials and advertising in general. Truly, have any of you bought something just because of an advertisement? If anything, it is the other way around; I will go out of my way to NOT buy something if the commercial is annoying. Never got that, they would spend millions advertising something with an ad so moronic and off-putting that anyone in their right mind would, after viewing it, purposely avoid the product. Examples: Any IBM commercial, auto-insurance commercials, beer, soft drinks, computers, etc. etc. etc.
