TIVO and US Open

I'm going to have to get TIVO. We've spent a good bit of time watching the US Open since we spent Labor Day at the ranch with family, including almost three-year-old Megan and eight-week-old Emma. (Megan is working on being potty trained and Grandmother Dearest was in great demand to help and watch.)

However, if I have to see that stupid American Express ad with John McEnroe and the actor pretending to be a former tennis judge, I may have to commit violence. If Amex can't come up with more than one ad to run every three or so minutes during an entire tournament, they are unworthy of my business. I have missed good tennis by grabbing for the remote every time that dumb ad appears. Why should the Super Bowl get all the good ads? I need TIVO so I can avoid that ad.

The Andy Roddick Lexus ad is only marginally better - at least it has no dialog and is easier to ignore.
