P: It makes a lot of difference. So what were you watching anyway? You seem to be so excited about the drama, the anticipation, the skill.......

Y: 我说的是Commercials! 超级杯广告。

P: The commercials during the game are pretty impressive, I'll admit, but I'm excited for the game.

And you should learn to appreciate the game. After all, we are teaching Sports English here.

P: Well, lets start with a very simple term, touchdown.

P: You think I'm a good teacher? You really mean it? Wow, that's so nice of you to say!

Y: No no Patrick, I'm talking about the commercials.
