You persisted.  You asked me, day after day, for months and years, \u201cHave you been to my website lately?\u201d.  So I went.  I was driven to check it out.  Let me tell you something, It wasn&#8217;t all you&#8217;ve hyped it to be.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed was that it made the processor in my computer go wild.  That site ate up resources faster than C.C. At the buffet.<\/p>\n<p>I tried some of the cheesy flash games.  They sucked.  I have a feeling they were developed in a single day, and thrown together for the sake of having something on the site.  One was a lame game where you had to &#8216;be a major league shortstop&#8217; and catch balls, but the balls were thrown to all parts of the field, from in front of the plate all the way to the wall.  I know you&#8217;ve got a huge ego, but do you really think you can play defense so well you don&#8217;t need the other eight guys?<\/p>\n<p>Then I played the racing game, which came with no instructions, and featured racing against two other cars, none of which seemed to resemble the Ford Edge you&#8217;re always hyping.  I had no idea what I was supposed to do so I just tried to ram the other cars.  Unfortunately, collisions weren&#8217;t programmed in and I just passed through it like it wasn&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n<p>After finding another link to the racing game, I played some trivia.  Silly questions about Ford products mixed in with questions about your accomplishments as a player.  Yawn.<\/p>\n<p>After I figured out how to navigate the TV part of your site, I watched the outtakes.  Most of them were you just stumbling over words or forgetting what you were saying while standing in front of a green screen.  They weren&#8217;t really very good.<\/p>\n<p>But the best part just had to be the &#8216;hidden&#8217; icons that popped up thrilling information about Ford products when I scrolled over them.  \u201cFord is second to none in terms of quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I did it.  I finally visited your website, and it was a horrible waste of my time.  Can you please shut up now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Derek Jeter, Fine. You persisted.
