Fiat and Jennifer Lopez: "Papi"

For the second week of the NFL season I am reviewing an oft-seen ad for Midwest Sports Fans.

You've undoubtedly seen the abomination that is the J-Lo Fiat 500 commercial, especially since it was aired about 500 times during last week's NFL games.

1800 Tequila - "Men" with Michael Imperioli

Whatever happened to commercials that don't make me want to throw a Molotov cocktail through a tequila company's window?

MSF Commercial Grade: Ugg's Tom Brady Commercial

I also dabble in sportswriting at Midwest Sports Fans, and recently Jerod, who runs the site, suggested I run a weekly column featuring the commercials we are forced to endure throughout the NFL season.

I decided to kick my NFL reviews off by grading the new Ugg commercial, featuring the quintessential quarterback, Tom Brady.  You can read my full review by clicking this link.

Education Connection - 2011 Commercial

Sometimes, I surprise myself when evaluating commercials.  Every now and again an ad comes along that is filled with things that suck, including, but not limited to: bad songs, terrible jokes, stupid people, B-list celebrities, insurance, school, the word "epic," and sincerity.  So, imagine my surprise when I saw a commercial featuring at least two or three of these things and didn't fully hate it.

Retro Review - Taco Bell - 5 Buck Box featuring Charles Barkley

Man, oh man, do I love me some Charles Barkley.  Ever since I read his 76ers-era biography Outrageous in middle school I knew I wanted to be as much like Sir Charles as possible.  The book was filled with f-bombs and plenty of taking the Lord's name in vain.  It was also the first time I heard a superstar athlete flat-out publicly shit-talk the opposition.  Barkley didn't hide his feelings toward anyone.  His seemingly unpredictable nature that makes him so endearing on TNT's NBA coverage was at one time legitimate unpredictability.  When Charles was arrested for throwing a harassing fan through a plate glass in window in 1997, he was asked if he had any regrets about the situation:

"Yeah, I regret we weren't on a higher floor."
