Ronaldo is going to be the next Arnold Palmer in that he will endorse literally anything

Means nothing if he isn't eventually the namesake of a beverage that can be made either with or without alcohol. ;)

Eastern Motors commercials were a staple of Washington football broadcasts for most of my childhood. Featured probably every well-known District player from the years before, during, and after the Gibbs 2.0 era.

 

 

 

 

Ovi's inability to recognize the abbreviation "SUV" is the best part

concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes

Jonathan Ogden for a we-will-insure-anyone car insurance company.  He makes me feel better about my dancing skills.

 

 

There were actually several commercials like this.

Incorrect, sir. An Arnold Palmer is non-alcoholic. 

 

An Arnold Palmer with alcohol added is called a John Daly.

Glad to see Joe Montana’s pantyhose commercial is in here, but can’t believe nobody’s mentioned the long-running Mr. Coffee campaign featuring Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio, the Yankee Clipper himself. 

 

 

 

 

Also available in analog clock model!

 

The Greatest Living Yankee will forever be associated in my mind with Old-Timers Games and primitive coffee machines.  Even though he apparently never drank coffee himself.
