Got my paper copy of ESPN the magazine last week - the football preview issue. In the middle of the Harbaugh vs Meyer article there is a four page foldout ad for Nissan trucks with a very obvious and very clever Stanford spin.

I'm kind of taken aback. Am wondering if this was just a regional edition (I'm in San Diego) or if ESPN has the ability to note that I have Stanford as a favorite on my ESPN online profile. That may sound a little like 70s conspiracy theory bad movie fare, but hey, I'm class of 1972.

Anyone else notice this, or am I the only one who still gets paper magazines, or did I just miss the thread that has already touched on this?

Nothing to worry about.  Disney recently bought the NSA and merely shared some data with ESPN.
