They talk about how Isaiah ruins everything he's a part of. Here is the proof they provide:

Let's restate that. Two writers on ESPN are bashing him, not ESPN in general.

Anyways, those photos are hilarious.

That is too funny. I think Isaiah invented AIDS and killed Santa Claus too...


And to go off topic a little, that Isiah and John Lennon picture reminds me this pic someone asked me to photoshop in the Logo forum -->




I love that Manny has a white hand.

Coke II was one of if not the biggest marketing flops in history.

Isiah is actually responsible for decapitating Cole Hamels and placing his head in a bowl of popcorn.







After today's start I am not sure this is a bad thing.

The New Coke story is one of my favorite in marketing history. It is, in fact, one of the biggest marketing flops in history, right up there with the Ford Edsel and the Chevy Nova being sold in Mexico; but there is a twist. Some have called the move INGENIUS.

At the time of the New Coke, the Coca Cola company was quickly losing its market share to Pepsi... the whole "Pepsi Challenge" really did prove that Pepsi has a better taste than Coke (and it does, I dare you to do a blind taste test). So, Coke comes out with "new" coke and people are outraged and infuriated. How could a giant, multibillion dollar, fortune 100 company like Coca Cola not have known the reaction that the new Coke would have generated?

So what happened? They bring back the old Coke, as Coca Cola Classic and sales went through the roof. Coke blasted ahead of Pepsi in the cola wars and haven't looked back; Pepsi has sat in second place ever since.

Market flop... or brilliance? The debate rages on......
