Ford flusters Giants fans with ‘Madison Bumgarner day off’ TV spot

Call it a case of bad timing or call it salt in the wound. Probably, both of those are true — even if not intended.

Despite Madison Bumgarner’s dirt biking accident on his day off, which could change the course of Giants history, Ford pushed a TV commercial over the weekend that focuses on Bumgarner’s off-days. Dirt bikes are featured heavily, as well as the F-150 truck Ford is actually advertising, in a spot that debuted in 2016.

“What Madison Bumgarner does on his day off is anyone’s guess,” a narrator says as the commercial starts.
