In a wise non-roster move, Minnesota Timberwolves officials Friday pulled TV ads featuring faux-sportscaster Don Overbeck – citing a need to present a more serious marketing message.

That is absolutely insane!
“a need to present a more serious marketing message” – this line is literally terrifying – between market-speak, seriousness (as in “are you f***ing serious?”), non-admission of absolute failure…wow. I guess I should just relax, and I’m glad to see those commercials off the air…but wow.

I say we keep the spirit of Overbeck alive by using his catchphrases once in a while.

They'll need a new marketing strategy...
…I suggest “Minnesota Timberwolves: Not in the face!!!”

Why don't they just put Jim Peterson on the commercials with Big AL
and let him talk about how great AL is and how he is a future HOFer and how he’s so much better than KG.

![Matthew Yglesias is a top-of-the-line political blogger and is covering the RNC here in the Twin Cities. He's also a huge basketball fan. He also called our return for KG "spare parts." I now question his knowledge on hoops.
Has anyone seen other new ads around the Cities? Feel free to send photos/hatemail to canishoopus[at]gmail[dot]com](http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/14045/timberwolves_small.jpg)
