Honestly I can't tell you who played in the football game yesterday, I watch for the commercials, and mostly ignore the game, mostly, there men in tight pants. The Super Bowl has become the super bowl of American television advertising. I found this one touching, timely, important.
Many years ago, I was building a house for a young woman, her father came in with her one day to take a look at what she was building. I noticed a large and unique ring on his hand. I mentioned it and he slipped it off and handed it to me, it was a player ring from the first Super Bowl, he had played professional football for a few years - and played in the first one. Neat, and yes he wanted the ring back. It would be worth tens of thousands of dollars to a collector today.
Oh. Was the Super Bowl on?

DeleteA GREAT ad. Thanks for sharing. I knew it was the Super Bowl because The Kid Brother told me.
ReplyDeleteNot baseball, but it will do for now
DeleteThat commercial is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe SB often draws the best
DeleteOur media is trying to force Super Bowl down our throats but no one cares nor is interested. We have no understanding of the game. Super Bowl to me equals a costume slip and an exposed nipple.
ReplyDeleteI'd sooner watch rugby, the players really know how to dress.
DeleteSports championship rings are always big, gaudy, flashy things. Male bling!
ReplyDeleteYup, lots of diamonds
Deletedidn't watch, don't care. but that commercial says plenty. THANK YOU, BUDWEISER! and I don't even drink beer!
ReplyDeleteI never drink Budweiser
DeleteThanks for sharing that ad. It is certainly very timely and very well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I always enjoy the ads
DeleteCan one see the ads on YouTube nowadays and bypass the silly old game?
ReplyDeleteMost of them, yes
