Any
Times are tough. That post must be on an installment plan.
Crap, I messed this one up, thought it was a double post and deleted the wrong post. Anyhow, CAGASS24 was posing about the ESPN tournament picking commercial where a "robo-bilas" spits out Marquette as the winner of a Marquette / Kentucky matchup. If anyone has more details, or a video (I couldn't find one), feel free to add.
Thought this would be about the new ESPN commercial about picking brackets. Has people throwing darts at balloons (with Purdue surviving), a baby crawling toward a Gator and Tiger, and other humorous ways to pick teams.
Anyway...there's one in there with a computer that has "Kentucky Marquette" entered, then it processes and spits out "Marquette" on a piece of paper. Loved it!
Here is the commercial with the baby, but the computer had St. Johns and Washington. I couldn't find the Marquette one.

ESPN began replaying this commercial, but instead of St. Johns vs. Washington showing on the Pick-making robot, it is Kentucky vs. Marquette, and the robot spits out his pick of Marquette!
Beautiful!
A picture of the Robot picking Marquette was posted on ESPN's Facebook page this morning.
Haven't seen the ESPN ads, but I did find these TBS ads. They're pretty good.

Speaking of commercials, Kentucky fans really need to let it go:

According to this first commercial, looks like they're not on our side. Or at least Jim Morrison didn't see it that way.

I love the Zither music at the end of these. Reminiscent of the film
The Third Man.
