That's kinda the point.  Actually, I had two points: 1) that a culinary
expert hawking BK is vastly different than an NBA player hawking BK and that
2) the more apt analogy is the NBA player and shoes.  I am aware that it
would be unlikely that the player would advertise a brand and not wear them.
I also find it unlikely that Bayless eats BK regularly, or thinks that their
cue is some of the best around.  Ergo, he is simply a shill and hypocrite.
