As if Ryan Howard's two bombs in the Phillies butchering of the Dodgers yesterday wasn't enough, the reigning NL MVP is pouring it on. Courtesy of The 700 Level, we've discovered that Howard's teaming up with Verizon, a.k.a. Satan. We can't lie, we're Verizon customers. We get both our cell phone and DSL service through them. We hate both, but a contract's a contract and we have to honor that contract. There's no franchise tag in telecommunication.
But we can't blame Howard, although this probably precludes him from getting an iPhone, or at least using it in public. He doesn't want a Jessica Simpson-type controversy on his hands. And we can't mention this without pointing to a delicious quote from the Verizon marketing tool spearheading this little business venture.
"Just as Ryan brings the power of his bat to the ball park every game, Verizon brings the power of its unequalled network to its customers every day."
Verizon, like He-Man, has the power. It's the network, my ass.
