Sopranos taking a shot at Verizon?

This probably only interests me. However, as I was watching the Sopranos recently, I noticed an interesting shot across the bow of Verizon when Tim Daly's character was mocking the reliablity of his Verizon Wireless voicemail during last week's episode.

Now, as most people know, HBO Mobile and the Sopranos are only available from Cingular. However it seems odd that David Chase who produces the Sopranos would take such an obvious "Sprint Nextel"-esqe shot at a "sponsor's" competitor during a show.... Sell a book, CD, DVD, etc; that's all well within the HBO way of doing things, but not an on-air shot.

Then again, the Sam Adams logo was prominently displayed in Tony's "Bada Bing" office where I would swear I have never seen it before.... :) Perhaps there have been a lot of changes for the last season.
