Well, I'll just let these fine citizens answer that question. I don't know if this is marketing genius, or if it's just the worst commercial on the air today. It must be marketing genius because this commercial is absolutely everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if I caught this commercial during a program on the Lifetime Network. I can't help but think about the director who shot this commercial. I hear things in my head like, "show me anger!" and "I want to hear the anger in your voice!". Hilarious. If you watch some of these reactions, some look as though they've been robbed for every penny they've ever made. I mean, wow, they are sincerely angry.

Lastly today, any guesses on who this future NFL football player is? I'll give you some stats to give you a few hints. He was drafted out of Southern Mississippi by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1991 NFL Draft. He won the Super Bowl in 1996, defeating the New England Patriots 35-21. 9-time Pro Bowl selection. Holds the record for most consecutive starts by a quarterback in NFL history with 253. It's 275 if you include the playoffs. The last stat should have given it away, but this young #10 (we all know him as #4) is Brett Favre. This was today's biggest story in sports. After 17 seasons, Brett Favre retired from professional football. I'll be honest, I'm not that big of a Brett Favre fan. But I will tip my cap and say that he had a heck of a career. On ESPN today, the talk of the airwaves was the debate on if Brett Favre was one of the top 5 quarterback's in NFL history. Woody Paige, sportswriter for The Denver Post put it the best in my mind. He said that Favre was a great quarterback. That much you can't argue. But you have to look at records. And by records, it means Super Bowls. The ultimate test for a quarterback. Favre has only one Super Bowl victory. Montana, Unitas, and Bradshaw all have multiple Super Bowls. Paige listed Favre as #7 on his list of all-time greats. I think that's an accurate place to put him. His flare on the field and ability to drive down the field in pressure situations will be missed in the NFL. But here's the question today to test your memory for all you football fans out there: What was the outcome of the very last throw that Brett Favre made in his NFL career? You may find the answer interesting.
