Born in Bowling Green, Ohio, baptized in New York City and done dirty in Los Angeles, Jeremy Smith is not much for parades.
Regardless of what fate befalls my beloved Cleveland Cavaliers (and they've been embarrassing since the panic trade that brought them a done player for a dumb player), I'm going to be watching a lot of playoff basketball this spring. It's what I do. I also might buy my first firearm just to feel that steel stuffed snug in my crotch. Motherfuckers be stressin', I might need to be pressin'. Know what I'm sayin', Francis Bacon?
All that aside, I wouldn't be blogging if there weren't an urgent matter at hand, so here goes: I've been watching basketball all day, and I'm pretty sure Verizon has taken that commercial out of circulation? You know... that commercial. Oh, fine...
"Not Brad." <shiver>
Meanwhile, they've got the version with that doughy nerd running in heavy rotation. Look, if Chevrolet can ride Seger's "Like a Rock" for a fucking decade, you can at the very least favor us with that ad for the rest of the playoffs. You've got lightning in a fuckable .40 oz. bottle of Schlitz with that sucker. I've toppled furniture and stepped on my cat rushing back into the room just to catch it (even though I could calmly walk back in and run it back on the DVR). I haven't been this obsessed with a piece of advertising since "The Case of the Missing Case" (almost as baffling as the Million Dollar Mystery). Another seventy or eighty viewings, and I might've actually switched over from Sprint.
So please... bring it back. At least give me a chance to DVR it in High Def. I ache.
